I’ve started dressing a little nicer - especially for summer. It kills me when people at work got me with the “oh what are you all dressed up for?!” Or “you going somewhere after work?!”

I can’t explain it, it just makes me feel like I look dumb

Why are you dressing so dumb?

I said because it’s summer

Since you’re clearly mature, balance it out with a classic… “have to dress nice for your mom.”

I often dress nicer in summer since casual summer clothes can be so dumpy. Jeans and a t shirt can be fine in other seasons depending on fit and shoes, but shorts and a t shirt is pretty sloppy.

I’d just look at them and say “thank you” if they ask why you are dressed up. If they ask if you are going out say, “maybe.”

They say that because people have no class anymore and dress like they don’t give a shit because they usually don’t. Keep dressing nice, people can go f*ck themselves.

Tell them it’s your season to shine. 😂 I always wear dresses and do it up in the sunnier months because it’s fun, and why not? Those who don’t take advantage of summer fashion fun are missing out.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

15 YOE, recently started my first tech PR job at a large, stable company & have been asked to get ~20 SMEs in front of media. Subject matter is not sexy. I lead PR for all of U.S. & have no other PR colleagues. My agency’s budget is 100k/year & they’re spread too thin to hit their KPIs. I feel set up to fail & feel we should be focusing on a handful of SMEs and only our sexiest topics. Any advice on mitigating unrealistic expectations for coverage? Anyone handled similar problems in the past?
