Gross, there are so many idioms like this that went from commonplace to totally tone deaf, in the span of just a few years. “Open the kimono,” “presentation length should be like a skirt - long enough to cover the essentials but short enough to be interesting” etc on and on and on.

I mean, they were all pretty funny (and I’m a feminist leaning female), but to me it’s interesting that those kinds of idioms went from “colorful” to “wildly inappropriate” so quickly.

I am beyond stuck in my first 1.5 years of my career.

I was over promised opportunities at my first gig and then Covid hit. Leading me to have no portfolio worthy pieces from this 💩 agency with nothing great in sight. (place hasn’t won a pitch in my entire time here + lost clients)

I’m juggling re-vamping my site and a side project to hopefully make my book more robust.

With no kind of leadership or mentor, I’m just figuring out how to dig myself out of this hole. Any advice for this chump?

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle? What happens if what the employee said is slanderous and a “he said/she said” situation? I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?
