What do you mean suit and tie seems overdone? There is no excuse for not wearing a suit

Suit and tie. Don’t be an idiot.

It's only intern like when it's a really bad fitting suit, or there's some other obvious wardrobe malfunction

If you walked into an interview in anything other than a suit and tie, I wouldn’t even ask a question because I know you’re not serious for the job

Business formal...I mean formal wear, definitely formal wear.

I think this might be a difference of commute. If you take the train to work then carrying ur suit to the office after u changed is pretty obvious. If you drive then sure that makes sense

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

Hello Fishes, I interviewed at a company in October and they responded to me after a month. I accepted the verbal offer last week Wednesday. They said they would give written offer in a week. I have recruiters from the same company reach out for positions at different locations. My current recruiter said once I accept this I can't interview for other positions at the same company. Their process is so slow that I don't really want to miss out on any chance.What would be a great time to follow up?
