Fortunately for me, I've never had to deal with unruly vendors. I don't know if it's too much to ask for, but I hope I never deal with them. I lack the patience to handle such matters with tact. It's not something that I'm proud of, but it's the truth.

That is lucky! Thank you!

Got braids. You'd think I literally got a face transplant from how shook my coworkers are. I would say over 10 people have stopped me to ask about them or comment on them and I've been at work for maybe 2 1/2 hours. It's all been positive, but am I wrong for still finding it annoying? They don't lose their minds when Sarah gets bangs or whatever so I wish they could keep that same energy.

My friend works in-house at a national home-goods chain. Management recently told the entire design team they are barred from having portfolio websites and shouldn’t promote themselves while working for the company. They are also barred from posting work on social media, even if it’s already launched and in the public domain. This seems wholly unreasonable to me. Are demands like this common? Or enforceable?

Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
