We need to make colored shirts more acceptable at work. Pastels, faded colors, and specially light blue only looks good on people without skin pigmentation. 😞

I’ve seen many people of color at my office wearing light blues and pink and they look fine

OP, CT makes plenty of dark patterned dress shirts. Teal, purple, navy, blue, dark green, red, etc. all of those are professional in a patterned shirt, but not solid

Personally I hate light blue unless I’m dressing like Patrick Bateman for Halloween.

Colored shirts are totally acceptable if you can pull together an outfit that looks good, however I’ve found most people can’t do this. If you can—go for it

No we don’t

What colors do you want to wear exactly?

EY1, anything that is not pastel, or a faded color. Light blues, pinks, and greys just look terrible on anyone who is not white.

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

Moved to industry and noticed my boss has been dumping all of their work, meetings on me and blocking calendar for personal time. How do you manage this? I have been overwhelmed since I joined past 2 months. They are nice and supportive it’s just that the minute I complete one task they start pushing more and more to me with no breather in between. Some items that they owned before I joined are also something I have to ramp up on.

Hi. What do you do with a gaslighting boss and coworker in a small office? I also don’t feel like my boss even cares about me. Examples- there was a man with a gun in parking lot that I had to flee from and call police, he didn’t care- just asked me when I was coming back to work.😳 zero compassion. didn’t care I had a blinking light above my desk, waited two months to fix it though my eye was twitching! Makes me feel like a burden for taking care of my health, etc. and gaslights me regularly!
