Used to like jcrew chinos. Which fit do you get (250, 484,770,etc?). Seems like they changed how they fit over the last year when I tried buying another pair of 250 and they are way tighter now.

Lulu ABC

Yep! But I loved outlier from when I lived in CA… amazing stuff. The sport weight shirt feels like a luxury tee shirt but wicks sweat to an incredible degree, I could wear it in the gym (and do!)

Myles - tour pant. Have like 6 pairs. Stretch, don’t wrinkle, very durable, slim fitting. I like bonobos too but Myles are my go to.

A company didn’t follow through with a scheduled intro phone call. I emailed during the time scheduled to see if something had come up & after as well to reschedule.

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?
