I'm a Suit

[Jack_Dawson]

My first executive job. It's weird. Ties. Every day. Bigger salary. Perks. Admins. Decisionmaking. Responsibility. Weird.

2. please accept my sincere condolences....

I'm fortunate to not even own a tie, let alone ever find myself in a position to wear one.

5. You don't own one tie?

What about...a wedding? A funeral? Even tie-haters have ties. Right? I mean, I know I did. Yikes. Well hey if you don't have to wear one, and you like your job, you're more than halfway home methinks.

9. not even one....

I bought one for a job interview over 10 years ago, but never took it out of the suitcase when I interviewed for my current job a couple of years later. I haven't seen it since moving to CA-- I don't think I brought it along.

10. So what do you do?

Like...what line of work are you in?

4. Congratulations.

I wear a tie every day, too. But, I have no executive power. I'm just a tool for the man.

:D

6. am in an adminstrative/executive job as well

for the first time. But for a start-up non profit. Killer hours - huge responsibility. Wierd sense, from time to time, per position.

7. Look at it this way, . . . .

. . . . You can probably order common people around and assert authority in a lot of situations just based upon how you are dressed.

Use it wisely.

8. LOL..."common people"

"worker bees" take your pick. I've BEEN a worker bee my whole life that's why I'm tripping out. I did NOT take the ivy league - MBA - great job out of college route, tfds.
