Does anyone care when they see coworkers on zoom video calls wearing a hat or not always looking the best? Is it acceptable these days?

She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

I understand this might sound a little snobby but I'm not trying for it to come off that way. I've been around impressive people throughout my adult life. T-14 and big law have placed me in the company of some really accomplished individuals. It likely skewed the bar in terms of what I find as impressive.

My girlfriend's sister works at a Fortune 500 company and views herself as very accomplished. She's not a good person. I also don't find her impressive so I don't particularly try

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides.

The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??
