I’m Canadian and heading to all cities on the US West Coast (Seattle, Portland, San Fran, LA, San Diego) this summer. I want to shop for the most chic yet affordable work wear for Deloitte offices - I’m 39 yo. Recommendations please for stores, styles and anything related. Pics would be great too. Thanks in advance ladies ..

Nordstrom Rack is so much better in the US. I always make a point of going when visiting and searching for brands like Theory, Reiss, Vince, etc. that I don’t often come across at my local Nordstrom Rack

Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom are similar.

If you’re Canadian, Saks is the owner of HBC so I would stay away from there.

There aren’t brands only available in the US you can’t just not shop for elsewhere in the world

It's also likely cheaper for them to purchase here, and there may be better brick and mortars available in the US versus wherever they are in Canada.

I know when I travel to certain cities in the US (NYC, LA, Chi) I have specific stores I like to visit because the experience is better than my home city (also a large city in US)

I have a brand new person on my team- she is totally new to the field, has recently returned to the workforce (solo mom of 3 teens), is very smart. I knew when I hired her that I’d have to lean in to get her to where she needed to be. She has a ton of potential but lacks experience in a professional setting. I need to help her level up her written communication skills. Any suggestions on books, resources, strategies? She is learning by doing and takes feedback but I want more supports for her.

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left.

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

Have you ever compare yourself to another peer on a team and also feel you are being compared to by the project boss? How to feel confident?

These folks are seniors as well. Partner looks to me to provide a status update, and all I can say is in process.

This is more of a rant than anything but advice is welcome. I’m so fed up with my manager micromanaging everything. We miss client deadlines frequently because deliverables are backlogged under their review, they make comments on things they weren’t in client discussions about, and won’t listen when told client wanted it X way. I’m at a loss for what to say to them because I’ve tried repeatedly to fix this to no avail.

Overall, worth the price!
