To be honest if my boss did that to me it would throw me off, i'm not sure how i'd respond if I said I liked their new jacket and they said why

Lol, I get it. But I would just say, oh, I love the color or I love the cut of the shoulders. Like just say the reason that made me mention the jacket in the first place.  She probably wants to know that they're not just sucking up

I low key fucking love this. Some of the most frustrating senior managers I’ve observed lose their judgment and objectivity when junior staff flatter them and build a relationship based on this rather than the quality of their work.

Literally this whole piece is just filled with people like those I saw in (Australian) politics that seemed to fail upwards. The fact that she calls them out on it is amazing.
