Yes. Otherwise they’ll want to meet with you constantly. As long as you get the work done it should not be an issue for most clients

No. No one should know precisely how , when or where you are working.

I'm a female attorney in a small town where we have 2 other female attorneys and a few female doctors (vast majority are male). I've noticed a cliche among non professional women in this town (primarily lifestyle coaches, pyramid schemers, batistas, and spa workers). After talking to another female attorney in my town, she said she also noticed this and felt like some of these women felt intimidated so they excluded us or ignored us at social functions. Has anyone else experienced this?

Is this inappropriate? I am part of a HR management team and there is a rumor about the other HR manager having relations with our GM. She sent out a mass text message to the company stating that these rumors need to stop and note that malicious gossip will not be tolerated moving
forward. Someone that is purposefully sharing false information will be considered as harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and/or defamation will be termed. I feel as if this is highly inappropriate, thoughts?

My manager had been saying some REALLY over the line stuff in standup meetings.

Portfolio question: I want to update my book, which is on a 7 year old site and feels old design wise. The newer layouts are so design-rich they require bigger file sizes, but for a lot of my book pieces I have files that are small by today’s standards and look terrible in the new layouts. Any way to solve for this? Just stick with my old layouts? Am I overthinking, since I’m a writer and not a designer anyway?
