Wear pointy flats and nice jewelry. Heels on a boat are a no go.

I vote yes too! As S1 said, it's very pretty. And looks appropriate for a work event

Umm yes, so cute!

Adorbs!!

Thank you, ladies!

Thanks everyone! My only concern is it doesn’t come across as cocktail attire unfortunately. It’s for an event where all executive team and senior leadership will be there.

Styled like the model, with heels and an updo and jewelry, it passes for cocktail (I don’t think you’d look bad or out of place), but maybe not business cocktail (so maybe less than ideal). I’d probably pick another dress if you’re feeling off about it

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

I have been working in an interim role as a portfolio manager. I was promised that the role would be mine.

Its a political minefield.

How should I back out elegantly that I need to be compensated fairly and competitively from this mess without burning any bridges

Is my manager forcing me out?

In our 121 last we had a good discussion on creating a personal development plan, with the idea being I’d write down clear goals & action points to get from my current level to the next, and I’d provide weekly evidence of it. I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??

I’ve been working for a small investment firm for about a year and am having some issues with my boss. We have a weekly check-in but he’s ALWAYS 2-3 hours late, or skips the meeting altogether without warning. He also never replies to any of the emails I send. I already spoke with him about these issues, but things haven’t really changed. I really like the work I do but I’m starting to feel frustrated about the situation. Any advice? Or anyone else in a similar situation?

I also provide an office and everything that comes with that, and admin assistance. Thanks in advance!
