Do people really wear suits to work anymore?

Sam's Tailor in Hong Kong. Buy a few and you can get them at a discounted price for a very nice quality wool. $600-700 each should be no problem if you buy 2 or 3. Can't beat a high quality, full floating canvas, working cuff button bespoke suit for that low. Pretty much same price as off the rack crap you'd get in the US.

Also, it's nice to wear a suit just to look good. You can wear a suit with a dress shirt and no tie and leave your jacket at the office and you will automatically fit in with everyone else just dressing the standard business casual out in the street in NYC or London at least (trousers and dress shirt). Then if it gets cold or you have a meeting or going out to a nice restaurant, you can put the jacket on. The jacket has a nice impact if you are in more formal settings, speaking to partners or clients etc. I think in 2022, ties are pretty much dead, even in London where they invented the uniform, few people wear ties anymore. Even though technically you should never wear a suit without a tie, even that rule has faded away now that everyone is more casual.

Encourage you to rock a suit if you want to scream, “Hello, world! I’m insecure and overcompensating through overtly formal clothing in a post-pandemic era even after we’ve learned that we’re all just folks.”

The choice is yours.

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?

Just got promoted to audit senior, but can’t imagine doing another busy season. I have some forensics internship experience from college and always wanted to pivot to forensics.

If I transfer and have no choice but to work on insurance/claims, would it be better to stay in auditing? Is the insurance/claims work demanding/difficult intellectually wise?

How would you handle approaching this with your superior?

Need advice. I have a client who just can't stop getting in their own way.

I can't keep anyone on this client because their process is so brutally and unnecessarily time-consuming, and I can't keep pulling all-nighters just trying to respond to all the questions. What do I do?
