Work is taking us on a trip to Florida and this has never happened before so I don't know what's appropriate and what's not wardrobe-wise. I'm definitely overthinking, so I thought I'd ask over here. What would you all pack? Would you take a bikini for the beach?

Most work trips people lounge by the pool/ beach and rarely go in the water. Also it’s about to be September…peak summer is over.

I would stick to a one piece and shorts, pair with a button down that you could take off to get some sun on your shoulders. I’m of the be modest around my coworkers so I’d def not wear a bikini.. if you’re super casual and comfortable with your coworkers you could get away with a crop top tank but just don’t be the girl without a lot of fabric on in front of your coworkers is my rule of thumb. 🫣

Heard!! This felt like a hug. I've never been in this situation so thanks so much for taking the time to craft your response.

Is this question specific to the bikini reference? If it is, I would definitely not go to the beach or a pool with coworkers, even when I've gone to resorts or nice hotels for work. If I'm staying longer or at a different hotel where I won't see them, that would be different.

Yes, but also wanted to know about the general situation.

Do you ever feel like people treat you differently at your firm because of your age? Like reverse ageism? As if you don't know enough or aren't competent enough yet? Just curious if others have ever felt this way.

I feel like gay men especially are constantly discriminated against in the workplace. I have been turned down for a promotion, yet again, in favor of a married heterosexual with kids.

Again and again, it’s a culture of parents helping other parents. No gays in upper level mgmt in our office.

I recently quit my job. My VP was a narcissist and never really looked out for my upward progression even though he said he was my sponsor.

When I gave my two week notice, I did not meet up or talk to him (I cancelled a good bye 1-on-1 b/c I was over it) - sent a short thank you email instead and ghosted. Was this justified?
