Haven’t bought a suit since college (only a year) but I feel like I should... but then again I have never really have a reason to since never wear for work. Should I go to suit supply now or just wait

I think you answered your own question...

Better safe than sorry

If not for work, why do you feel the need?

Go buy a nice suit from Brioni, Zegna, or Armani

John Gotti goes to Broni...Got to JCPenny or Macy’s. My father was a detective and had to wear a suit in bad neighborhoods every day. I realize IBM is not a bad neighborhood but if you don’t need a suit then you need something that looks good, you could wear anywhere, and you won’t be mad when you spill something on it.

Really depends on the audience: even with impeccable tailoring, people with a certain background will look past the content of your character and notice the cheap material and fused construction of a low-end suit.

Some partners are so stupid. In a free market system, if you want the good associate to work for you, you need to be a nice person. Otherwise, I have enough partners to feed me work and you’re the source of your own problem.

I will say this I love working with the students . I love getting to know them . I smile to myself when I go to work . I still feel this way after last week being asked my three different people about doing something where I told them that I was not going to do. following day I was then ambushed by admin (where I have never felt more like nothing. Following this encounter with people in charge I had an anxiety attack. This was terrible and I have no trust . TAs are mistreated. Similar story?

Our Digital marketing team is very small: Myself and the Digital Manager. I’m starting to feel that my manager is handing off projects that should be his responsibility and are projects that he doesn’t want/know how to do. Most are very analytical/reporting base, and frankly I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen him complete a reporting deck for the year that we’ve worked together. I’m starting to wonder what he even works on as he has enough time to have many hallway chats throughout the day.

OR circulating nurse here. Will preface this by saying I have the utmost respect for CSFAs in the OR setting. However, wondering if any other OR RN’s have had issues with CSFAs feeling and acting like they are in charge of the room or attempt to carry out tasks that you as an RN are supposed to do? I do love having help, but we have one FA who hijacks my tasks and gets upset when i do not do things the way they would and attempts to instruct me on how to do my job
