Will it ever be normal for news hosts to be dressed on the casual side? Some days, I really want to dress down.

Short answer is no. If viewers wanted a woman in a sundress or a guy in a Polo shirt to tell them the important news of the day, they'd just go down to Walmart and hang around the Lawn Center. It may not be true, but people think people who "dress smartly" are actually smart. When I started out in real journalism -- I mean, newspaper journalism -- we still had to wear slacks, button down shirts, and neckties. The older reporters said it hadn't been that long since they had to wear suits as well.

There are a lot of reasons why I don't envy news hosts, and this is a big one. So much time and effort, and it's hard to ignore the gender discrepancy in the time, effort, and money required to spend on appearance.

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person.

Thoughts?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
