Would you wear a bathing suit to an office pool party?

If you look bad, you feel self conscious and it could unfairly hurt your career.

If you look hot, your male coworkers might talk about you or at the very least be envisioning you in a swimsuit the next time they see you at a meeting.[/quote]
not that they aren't already but why add fuel to the fire?

Next week we have a team building at Deep Creek..not being in a bathing suit would be very strange.

uh, no. but it's nice to know that some workplaces continue to experience such wealth in this economy. man, you must be out of touch.

Actually companies are experiencing all time highs in profits. All one has to do is marginally be slightly aware of the stock market to know that.Sorry yours does not share in the spoils.

well since i work for the gov't, i don't expect my "company" to
bankroll anything for me, but thanks for the condolences. and your post reads as naive too. sure, companies are profiting, but who is making off like bandits? certainly not the average american who is still trying to survive in this economy. certainly not that company's employees either. guess how many folks got raises in private industry last year?

again, clueless posts.

Tax payer does enough bankrolling for your lazy useless fat ass.

So many uptight people! I've been to work pool parties, they were family friendly and a lot of us got in the pool with the kids. NBD

I think insecure is more like it. I guess that is what happens when you let yourself turn into a Sloppasaurus Rex.

Wait a minute. What else would you wear to a pool? A snowsuit?

If you're so self-conscious, then don't attend. But if you do attend, wear a bathing suit, for crying out loud!

Back in the day, my biglaw firm had retreats in miami and mexico. We all wore bathing suits, of course.

Generally, my reaction is, "not a good idea".

But, I've lost a lot of weight and look really good right now.l... I could see me doing it now!
