Someone’s jealous.

To be honest, it’s no one’s business what anyone does with their money. As a manager, it’s not as if she can’t afford it, but she’s choosing not to buy it. That’s her business and it’s your business what you do with your money.

I wouldn’t have answered the additional question and found a way to change the subject.

OP, please be careful and note if she starts treating you differently or starts making comments that make you feel uncomfortable. Jealously can cause people to act strangely and if you ever feel uncomfortable, speak to your counsellor to see if you can get rolled off the engagement.

I think she means she got an opp to obtain the nice bag when other person tried and it was unavailable

One of my associates carries a 6k channel bag and we give her crap all the time just like everyone messes with me for driving an 02 Honda. It's all just fun and games for us.

The fact that she asked you if it was real or not is classless. She is just jealous, and obviously a petty person. She just should have said, what a beautiful bag, if she had to say anything at all. You don’t have to justify yourself to anyone - you go girl, and if nice bags make you happy, then go for a Berkin next!

Honestly, I returned a luxury bag I bought (literally was 50% off, I can’t afford full price I’m a senior) because I felt funny carrying a nicer bag than my boss and the person above her. Wish I felt differently but I felt really self conscious

Sounds so petty. But if she’s your boss, you really need to sit down with her nicely and make her understand that you love dressing nicely and professional to the office.

My SO is the best dressed in her office, she wears whatever that makes her happy. If her managers are jerks who can’t stand staff being better off financially than they are, then I’d say that firm isn’t worth staying.

Go to the bank & withdraw baby - cuz bands make her dance

Just ignore it. Best option

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?

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.
