There are plenty of arguments against a backpack. However, if you’re client is judging you on your mode of travel for your laptop then there are larger problems afoot. Otherwise, a backpack distributes weight better - even on one shoulder. It causes the same divot in a suit or blazer shoulder as a briefcase with a strap. It’s multi-purpose. I’ve seen plenty of partners switch to backpacks if you like to follow by example. Just ensure you buy a something that is work appropriate. Those camo versions of Tumi backpacks are not

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company.

HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?

Never tell your colleagues where you are joining beforehand.

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh
