If they're changing their pronouns, those aren't guys, they're trans women. Don't be an asshole.

You’re better off not doing it.

Live in the real world, not the ideal one. The real world means some people will find it weird or unprofessional— if you want the optimal choice, it’s to look traditionally professional.

In professional services earrings can only hurt you unfortunately. I used to have earrings but took them out for optics. It's unfortunate but that's just the way progressional services is

They will, but do it anyways.

I think they’re hot. They’re also easy to take out once healed!

I wear my earrings to the office though on days I go in I try to keep it simple (studs or tiny hoops). Haven’t had a problem with it yet!

As someone with facial piercings who has never had a problem at work, go for it!! If you’re really worried you can get them pierced with a neometal threadless textured titanium disc - they come in multiple colors that look like a mole or a freckle - or a glass stud. Dm me if you have questions, I’m always happy to talk piercings

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

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?
