I see you’re wearing gold and silver today. Can you mix and match metals like that? I thought it was only one or the other. Is that something people are doing these days?

Subject: Your quarterly review

We’re supposed to have your quarterly review today, but is it ok if we have it at the mall? I need help picking out shoes and sunglasses. Be prepared to discuss your goals for Q4 while we’re shopping.

  1. Why did you not share your response? I used to work with a lot of guys and it was similar to that, except instead of noticing something like mixing gold and silver, they would mock me for it, and I’d have to try to defend myself.
