RE: How to succeed in the modern office..... If you can't be gray, be average. Part 1

in #blog5 years ago

My first office job was a two girl office, the girl I worked with was rather bland, she dressed nice but not extravagant. It was located in a building that had a lot of offices with a centralized lunch area. I would only go in there if I needed something then go side in the back hallway and eat my lunch. My boss came up the backstairs one day and asked me why I was sitting in the hallway eating lunch. I told him you see what those women look like, I felt embarrassed to be around them. He reached in his wallet and took out a credit card, he said here take this over to the JC Penny's and get yourself whatever you want, I will call over there and tell them it's fine you can use my card. I'd say he was probably one of the wisest men I ever worked for.
