I stg why are white people so familiar?? Wore a wig today instead of my natural hair, tell me why a coworker told me I looked "more put together" with the wig on? Not the only annoying comment I got but this one was just blatantly rude. I don't say anything when becky wears her ratchet ass ponytail half the week so leave me alone. What is it like just existing in the world without people commenting or thinking about your appearance?

Someone said this on a thread I read a while ago but they act like Black people just came out of the woodwork and it's a surprise when we switch up our look. The real issue is all these white people growing with no idea how to address or respect people different from them.

Ouch! I don't think anyone has any business commenting about how we choose to wear our hair, do our makeup, or dress at work. Completely inappropriate topic of discussion in the workplace imo

That definitely sounds very shady. Not "you look nice today" but "more put together" sounds like she was intentionally implying something. I hate it. Please keep your un-solicited passive aggressive comments to yourself.

They literally could have just worded it like a regular old compliment instead of making it so backhanded. The nerve!

Lol that's so rude, I don't know why people think stuff like that is ok to say

I would have said and u look tore up from the floor up sweetie. I've worn different color wigs and honestly Becky is just mad because her hair is a mess, and can only do one style Flat,with no volume. Plus when POC wear wigs we look stunning and can pull off any color

Hahaha! You had me at Becky's ratchet ass ponytial she wears half the week! Seriously though, I really don't understand why people think they have every right to comment on other people.

I started working for a new law firm, much larger than the firm I was working for previously. The main attorney that I work under had noticed some mistakes I was making (I am a NY paralegal who took this position with the understanding that they’d be teaching me NJ and NYC real estate). Anyways, the attorney decided to tell the HR manager about the mistakes I had been making. Rather than HR discussing with me, the manager told my dramatic coworker to tell me..how should I handle this? Very hurt!

So my junior lies a lot. About everything. They work hard and are reasonably smart, but they would swear a black pen is red and vice versa. When you catch them out, they keep digging.

What’s the best way to deal with a partner that prefers working solo? For context, this writer I work with conceptualizes by himself, emails the Account team, gives deep input, and makes decisions for us without consulting with me (his “partner”) most of the time. While I appreciate his proactiveness, I feel excluded, limited, and without much room to co-lead the work with him. I don’t know how to bring this up without sounding like I’m b*tching about it.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
