Saving space in a suitcase? 🤷‍♀️

likefunnysmarthelpful

My grandfather wore a suit every day of his life (at least while I’ve been alive). I didn’t realize it until I was looking at family pictures this year, and saw pictures of him in a full suit + trench coat at Disney World

Dinner with the client when they land, came from a client meeting, came from church, came from a funeral, don’t want to wrinkle their suit jacket in the suit case. Those are just a few.

^ Ok big boy, how about you calm down a little there and stop "taking yourself so seriously”

@M1: O’Hare to LaGuardia tonight the majority of 1st class passengers were in suits. I’m just saying that you take yourself too seriously if you have to wear a suit on a plane just for image.

Anyone having an in-person client meeting after 10 PM on a Sunday is nuts - in my opinion 🥜

Adding that they may be a corporate security guard to the list.

Also, my ex had a friend who wore cheap suits wherever he went. He seemed to convince a whole bunch of guys from their college who couldn’t get dates to save their lives that he was some sort of mack daddy player pimp, but no one else was buying it.

Wait, I’m confused. People still go to church?

Thanks for the thoughts all. I think I’ve learned not to be as judge-y. I just struggled because it came across as very arrogant at first. But to each their own.

I did it last weekend (jacket only). I didn't want to get it wrinkled plus the wonderful folks at Delta always hang it up for me.

Went straight to the airport from Sunday night church?

Still fairly common in the south across all denominations to dress up for church. I also sometimes sing on the platform (stage) so I definitely wear a suit then just as a level of decorum. Admittedly, dressing up for church is in decline even down here.

I’m one of those people. No reason to wear casual clothes that I’m only going to wear for a few hours on the plane when I could save space in my bag + not iron later 💁🏻‍♂️

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
