Do any women here ever intentionally wear low cut blouses / dresses to work, and if so why? Genuinely interested.

Do mean ever raise their voices at work intentionally? Do they ever hover over someone to physically intimidate them?

I mean, people use their assets to their advantage.

Thanks 🙏🏽

Probably not nearly as much as you think.

Also, women view their clothing from their eye level straight on. Men who are taller then them, or come up to look over their shoulder will have a very diff view which may turn a top that was totally appropriate for someone’s eye level at 5’3 inappropriate.

Good girls show their assets

What is this question lol? I intentionally wear all my clothes, but I don’t think most women are wearing a specific type or item of clothing in a transactional sense. It’s not like if you wear X shirt/dress you get Y review/bonus/promo. People wear what they like. Plus, two different body types will look very very different in the same item of clothing so what’s “low cut” will look appropriate or inappropriate more based on the body in the clothes than the clothes themselves.

Totally this! I’m bustier and a lot of tops wouldn’t be work appropriate on me because of the neckline cut that would be fine on someone smaller in the bust

I wear short skirts to work regularly. I’ve never worn them because I think the men will like it or it’ll get me ahead or something. I wear them because I like them and they’re cute. I always make sure they’re below my finger tips tho, just in case someone reports me to HR.

No. Women are focused on their responsibilities, career growth, etc. unlike you.

Also, that tends to be how they make women’s clothing, unfortunately. Even looking for button-ups and blazers that don’t have a “cute” or “sexy” cut is frustratingly hard.

Aww, bummed to see this is a dead bowl. Anyone still around?? Getting ready for our first internal off-site and I haven't seen the rest of my team in person for almost 3 years now. I'm more nervous about the new folks that I have only met via Teams, including my 1st-ever direct report. I feel fine in my own skin most of the time but when I am in new and unfamiliar situations I get crazy body dysmorphia and super concious of my physicality. Any ideas on what I can I do to temper those feelings?

My ASM is lazy and is incapable of doing the easiest basic tasks with recruitment. She receives all my end of day updates, is cc’d on all emails, makes me fill out 5 repetitive excel/smart sheet, and joins all my meetings but she still wants to call having me 5x daily about updates. I’m always the one to go to if other recruiters fail to meet client deadlines and cleaning up recruiters mistakes. How do I even handle this to begin with?

Is anyone willing to share tips on avoiding burnout and setting boundaries with their executives? I have six people on my desk and am finding it difficult to stay motivated and continue giving everyone the same level of support.
