For those of you who are in the office, what dress codes does your company enforce? Do you have dress down day or jean day Fridays? I always looked forward to having my jean days!

I guess you would have to call our dress code "casual." Certainly not beachwear casual. No bum shorts and bra-less halter tops. I may need to drop a suggestion into HR about that. But we aren't dolled up in Sunday dresses, suits and ties either. We can wear jeans on Friday -- but not the pre-torn kind that the younger employees seem to prefer. Basically, modest, decent, clean, appropriate, professional, comfortable (within reason), etc.

Yes, this is what we had to adopt. No rip or tear jeans on Fridays and pretty much everything else you had explained. I enjoyed it actually, felt like something to look forward to before the weekend started.

I’m a new analyst at a PE firm, and my associate keeps blaming me for things she does wrong. Like she will tell me I made the wrong change, even though she is the one who changed it. Or in calls with other people, she won’t take responsibility for things that she told me to do that the other person calls out as wrong. How can I handle this situation without making her mad but also not letting her step all over me?

Found out today my toxic manager bad mouthed me to an HR rep in a different division. This correlated with his bad management and abusive behavior. Luckily the new manager I’ll soon be working with dismissed it. Her words of wisdom “reflect on what you could have done differently, you can only control your actions”. How does that resonate for you? Have you had similar experiences?

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us.

And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
