No, but keep a SteerCo tie in your laptop bag just in case. I’ve been removed from meetings for not wearing a tie based on the level of excellence of the attendees

Yes. Don’t feel like I have to most days but just like a dash of color in my life

Pre-COVID yes. These days it’s a lot less formal

I’ve noticed that only a few people wear a tie during the first interactions (the first few days) or for important meetings with senior management; otherwise, it’s generally a no-tie environment.

I always do - I like ties though and have bought expensive ones so that’s why

I’ve worn a tie every time I’ve ever been on client sites over the past two years, but then I’ve only worked with uniformed government entities so it matches their standards.

Depends. In senior meetings yes

Our annual reviews are approaching & one of my direct reports has been with us for almost six years w/ little growth. My reco was to let him go & find a stronger, hungrier & more motivated designer at the same level. However, my boss instead wants us to promote him in hopes that will spark some motivation. I am not behind this decision & have voiced my multitude of concerns in promoting an employee who doesn't deserve it. HR is behind the decision! Thoughts on promoting an undeserving report?

Today is my orientation @EY GDS. Any recommendations that I should need to know!? Any questions that I should keep in focus!?

My DOJ is 21st March (today) - can someone reflect questions that I should ask first hand during the orientation!?

1. WFH status
2. Balance Payment for March!?
3.Pay Cycle?
4. Leave Policies?

Anything that really should be known which could come handy. Calling experienced folls but who can help me figure out on this one, please!

Thank you so much in advance.

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
