Does anyone think having visible tattoos (sleeves etc) in the work place looks unprofessional and will hinder chances in your career? I want to get a sleeve done but worry that future employers will care, my controller has both sleeves done and only covers up when c-suite is in town and I feel like that’ll do

Smaller fish - where do you go to get pants for work? I’m a 29 waist and 28 length, and I can’t seem to find anything.

Advice, please! A former coworker in a different industry wants to talk about opportunities in my organization. We haven't talked in several years, but were friendly when we worked together.

The thing is, based on the quality of his work, I really can't recommend him. What would be a diplomatic way to convey this?

Also, If you think there's a better bowl for this query, please let me know. TIA!

Moved to industry and noticed my boss has been dumping all of their work, meetings on me and blocking calendar for personal time. How do you manage this? I have been overwhelmed since I joined past 2 months. They are nice and supportive it’s just that the minute I complete one task they start pushing more and more to me with no breather in between. Some items that they owned before I joined are also something I have to ramp up on.

Do any of you have experience with pushy coworkers? The kind who won't let you do anything without them "helping" even after you say "I've got this"? I can handle stocking the shelves by myself. So frustrating

Have an in person interview today with an SM at big consulting firm, haven't done one of these in years since before Covid. Obviously wearing a suit but tie or no tie? Not sure what's acceptable anymore 😅

Question: I exited to a PE portco... can I wear my old firm fleece (aka patagucci) to work today or is that a jerk move?

Happy Halloween! Who says Financial Professionals are not creative? Share what you dressed up as for work today?

So. I’ll just come out and share that I was an average law student. However, I was involved in a prestigious clinic supervised by a big law managing partner so I ended up following him to his firm. Think bottom 25% student who got lucky! This partner has been a fantastic boss and mentor! I am a mid level now. Last week we settled a big case against a V25 firm. We won! When all was said and done I emailed the head partner on that matter to compliment him and smooth out things.

I feel like my creative team is secretly criticizing me for asking them to build decks (their job) and make executive and client revisions (also their job). It’s making me feel like a bad producer, but I’m also wondering why aren’t they in a more cooperative or positive mood when we meet to talk about work?
This is the only project we are all on and I don’t understand why they make me feel like I’m asking for too much.

Any recs for a casual men’s shoe that’s pretty versatile to wear to work when dressing down or just to wear on a night out?

One of my coworkers keeps coming to me with questions about the software we use as well as how to do things on our computers.

When I asked him why he didn't just ask his manager, he said that she's really busy and always has her head in something else besides being available for questions.

I need to talk with a teacher about inappropriate behavior some parents are complaining that she has in the classroom. How do I approach this without accusing her or making her feel ambushed?

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

Lot of debate whether CNN’s Jeff Zucker was over-penalized. Baffles me when media folks defend their own when the simple and simplest organizational rule…you can’t sleep with someone you supervise, is being violated.

How would you suggest dealing with a toxic boss? They gossip and seem to purposely be vague about critical information, likely so they can't be held accountable.

Anyone feel as if it’s hard to stay with a company when you’re the only one of color? (&young) I’ve work for 3 companies in past 5 years and have yet to make meaningful colleague relationships. I just do not relate to the conversation and just find it hard to picture myself being a long-term employee. I’ve had better relationships when working at wal-mart when I was in college. I feel it takes away some of the joy of having to go to work.

When should I tell my boss/team that I’m expecting? I’m fully remote and don’t have to worry about “showing” at work, but want to give my colleagues ample heads up without jumping the gun too soon

So can we talk about nightmare clients!?! Omg, it’s so taxing when you’re clients are constantly exuding negative energy every time you’re on a call with them. I’m wondering if they feel the same way when deal with their partners internally.. maybe they are just channeling their internal madness!! 🆘

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?

How do you all *actually* set boundaries at work, especially during busy season? There’s a lot of advice out there about making appointments for any personal plans (workouts, dinner, etc.) and treating them as you would work appointments, but then you get the pings “hey we just got comments from the partner on XYZ, can you address them asap?” And pushing back on that for other stuff that’s not an emergency would get frowned upon. I feel like I’m running myself ragged - senior if that’s helpful

If a firm you might lateral to asks for a writing sample, do you use something from your current firm or something from law school as I'm only a 2nd year. And do I use the final version edited by others or my original first draft?

Hi guys! I had an interview last Saturday with the CEO for an EA role (that was the 3rd interview). The company rushed the process for me because they knew I had another offer. The first 2 interviews went extremely well that’s why they rushed & asked the ceo to interview me on a Sat. morning. Huge common point: The CEO and I are both French. The interview went kinda weird… it was less than 15min. Looked distracted/ not prepared. When I asked him questions he barely elaborated. Comments⬇️

Hi everyone,

Did you ever regret a company switch that you did? If so, how did you come out of it?

Anyone know when GT is rolling out dress for your day? I know it's being test marketed for over a year now...

Respect and honor to all the PAs out there!!! Partners you’ve been doing this for far too long and mastered the ‘art’; Directors/managers, come on! Step it up!!!; seniors, the unsung HEROS!!!, staff..

The thing I'm most looking forward to? That's easy! Not eating catered Indian food for dinner 4 times a week.

Promote to manager in October and just found out my wife is pregnant with baby number two with a due date of October 1. Guess my first 4 months of manager are going to be on leave!

Do any of you guys find it strange when guys will use stalls when there are open urinals and even with spots between? I see it all the time and I feel like those people are very self-conscious.

EY - do you always charge $60 for your cellphone bill? I’m on a family plan with my parents and our phone bill is $110. I’d split evenly amongst us, then my portion is less than $60. Continued....

If you're in tax, should you just stick with the tax route and try to move around in tax? I kind of want to go into audit but I know it would mean a nice pay decrease.
