Anyone else find it strange that Slack and Company has advised their employees that they are shutting the agency down on Friday, yet they still have available positions showing up online.

Pooping at the client site and the dude 2 stalls down was making the weirdest fucking noises. Burping, grunting, idk what the fuck. I think he was masturbating for a good 10 seconds also.

Ladies, please help. I’m interviewing for a VP role at a major entertainment company in a few weeks and I am stumped on what to wear. This is the final round, so I definitely need a pantsuit or blazer+dress combo; but am looking for sleek/modern styling that doesn’t make me look like a boxy, old grandparent. I’ve tried Theory, Reiss and Boss but the color palettes are starting to stray from black and navy.

Any recos for contemporary suit/separate brands and where I can buy them? Help!!

How many emails and/or Slack messages do you receive and respond to on a typical day? My employer wants everything answered within 24 hours but in reality responses need to be made almost immediately. This makes getting back on task and being productive almost impossible when there are constant interruptions. Any advice on this or asking for accommodations? I think my best option is to change jobs.

The company I am interning with uses this way to keep track of projects: always answers to the same email thread (I find it confusing). Today I initiated another email conversation because I was confused by the super long email thread with a client. When asked why I did this I told my manager I was confused and she answered me this: we have always done this way, it’s not that I like it but maybe you can tell me what is better from your many years of experience. Was she arrogant or it’s just me?

Hi Fishes,
Can you decline the job offer after receiving the offer letter when you haven't even accepted it? Would it cause any problem? Also, sharing your payslips, current job offer letter BEFORE getting an offer from any prospective employer is safe?
