Issues That Female Project Managers Face At Work

The question that one might ask is “is it our job to dress in a way that makes everyone in our workspace comfortable”? Call it “dress down Friday’s” or “business casuals”. Employees are always confused as to figure out how casual is ‘casual’ as they do not want to over-step the boundary of the liberty given to them and receive a letter from the HR.
