How do you deal with office mean girls?

Navigating the “we all went to Syracuse and were better than you” clique is getting exhausting.

The behavior is petty and mindset is borderline PR elitist.

What's your go to office dress type shoe?

What are the best ways of dealign with an aggressive boss?

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

Off topic.
Women - what outfits can be considered as business casuals?

Ever been ghosted by a coworker? Repeatedly? Any tips to get them to finally respond to you so you can do your job?

I have a senior who feels the need to break down every little thing they’re working on, repeating over and over the actions they are going to take after I ask them to do something. I get that he’s likely being overly prepared and wants to make sure I recognize he understands the asks, but I feel like it’s excessive. I’m not a micromanager and don’t need this level of detail. I want to make my senior feel supported, but is there anything I can suggest in this case without sounding like an ass?

I’m starting to work in the IB division in NYC soon. Was wondering what’s the dress code in the office. Would Business casual be fine?

Imposter Syndrome:
I was hired even though I felt unqualified. I now realized the people that hired me thought I was senior at my previous job when I wasn’t... I never lied about anything during my interview and talked about my duties. I only realized this after I got hired and the team introduced me saying all these fabulous “senior” things that I did - which is true (more like acting senior duties) 😅 what do i do!! Do I tell them I wasn’t a senior? I’m not behind on my work or anything

Is there any not very expensive black tie gown shops near Toronto downtown? New to the city and office party has black tie dress code!

What’s the consensus on tattoos in the insurance workplace? I’m in leadership and considering exploring my options due to recent personnel changes. I work remote and have arm sleeves, and any time I would be in-person I’d of course wear a long sleeve shirt to be professional, but worry about a cuff rolling up and tattoos being somewhat visible. Nothing is offensive by any means.

Is the SALT team in your company considered the “stepchild” of the family?? Intrigued to know if this just my team or everywhere in general.

I just found out a new colleague was brought on at 20% higher salary than my current salary. (Have been w/ firm 1.5 years) She doesn’t have a 4-year degree (working on it). How do I bring this inequity up and ask to be compensated equally? I have years more experience and My work is more complex - she is basically a receptionist. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Thoughts on wearing (not obnoxious) college rings (not HYP, etc.) to the office? I feel like the practice varies heavily school by school. Is there a certain where it becomes less acceptable?

I work remotely for a small 9-person startup and my boss insists on daily 30+ minute meetings. It’s rare that there is an actual point. Usually, we just go around to everyone to discuss what we’re doing that day. I understand the importance of communication, but this is just wasting time and stressing people out.

Who do I contact for guidance on how to handle a partner’s suspected fraudulent billing practices?

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

I've been at this job for almost 5 years now, and ever since the day I started, there have been problems with my coworkers. It's not just one person—it's everyone in my department, and they all seem to be working against each other instead of together. Should I leave?

Is it a bad idea to date someone from work?

When you email the partner with a question on one of your cases and he responds “okay thanks” lol
