Suits....how far have you went before wearing one to an interview?

[pissclams]

don’t wear a suit, wear a tuxedo

[chum1]

Dressing for interviews isn't what it used to be. If it's a business casual office, definitely do not wear a suit. My go to in this situation is oxford plus sport coat.

New CEO's first week in the office. He's been out in the field for the first month. This place is blowing up.

Is that good or bad?

[420seriouscat69]

I believe good in the long run, but some of the execs that are going bye bye, I had really good relationships with. Just a bit nervous to have to start over in a way.

[star seed 7]

Ben ji, did you suit up?

[420seriouscat69]

Wow! Just met the new CEO. Talk about a sexy mother rough rider.  I'm intimidated.

When I started my current job, this German girl and I reported to dude#1 who reported to dude#2. dude#1 left. Now, dude#2 and I both report to German girl. Super awkward. I'm pretty certain that dude#2's days are numbered.

I don't even know where to begin with all this. AMA.

Things have really shifted here. My boss is leaving next Friday (just found this out on Monday), he was like my BFF from day 1 here when we started as colleagues. Should be interesting to see what we do from here.

At this moment, dude#2 is training someone on how to do something he's been doing. Over the past few months, they've been assigning all his work to other people, telling him that he'll be working on something else. I think it's so they can get rid of him and that he may not completely realize what's happening.

Wait, so using letters as initial rank, Dude 2 started as A, Dude 1 as B, you and German girl as C1 and C2. Now B is gone and both A and C1 work for C2 but A is getting slowly pushed out?

I don’t even know where to start, but how did German girl come to be Dude #2’s boss?

They are an industrious people.

I'll have to give some thought to how to answer. It's a long, long story.

[chum1]

dude#2 talks A LOT. And it's not like interesting conversation or even conversation at all. He just always wants you to reassure him that he did the right thing or be totally exasperated with bullshit along with him or whatever. rough ridin' annoying. He just moved into the same room as me and German girl this week. A few days ago, she asks me how I'm coping with the extra noise. I said fine. She replied that I wouldn't have to deal with it much longer and winked.

[chum1]

Oh, God. dude#2 just finished training and came back in totally elated to have that task off his plate.

[8manpick]

Try not to murder him Chum, no matter how tempting

[chum1]

At this point, I just feel bad. Poor dumb bastard.

[michigancat]

ohhhh damn

[chum1]

Haha. Also, VP = dude#2.

This is a German girl who seems maybe a tad shy of being fully proficient at speaking English. We introduced ourselves and then she just marched me straight to the VP's office and told me I could sit in there and wait if I wanted. I was like "Maybe I'll go find the bathroom and check out the gym. Or even leave and come back in an hour." She said okay and then turned around and walked off.

German girl is now my boss. I have to move into a room with her and some other girl. This will probably be a good time to do some more posting to this thread.

oh no

More on dude#2!

So, I went to the store and picked up some $6 reading glasses to leave at work and $10 worth of lottery tickets.

The VP was there when I got back. He said and did a bunch of totally normal stuff for the next several hours. BUT THEN, as I was getting ready to leave, he told me that he wanted to share something with me. I'd learned earlier that he was a wrestling coach and has a son who is a star wrestler. He then told me that he'd taken his son to Nationals as a 14 year old and felt terrible because his son lost immediately. His reaction was to write a letter to his son. The letter is what he wanted to share with me. So, I sat there as he read verbatim this 3/4 page, single spaced, deeply personal letter about winning and losing and trying and getting back up and learning life lessons. As he's reading it, I'm like, "Oh crap. How am I supposed to respond to this? Is my response going to sound phony? What's going on here!?" Luckily, he kept right on talking after reading and the conversation flowed naturally.
