A black Chanel caviar leather bag was a dream dream dream bag of mine. It was not just the name Chanel but the quality behind the name. I wanted a bag that could stand the test of time and the wear and tear that I give to the bags I use everyday for work and travel.

 If there is one thing that anyone working in the modern world can agree on, it’s the need to develop a good relationship with your boss. Your boss, after all, has a critical role to play in your career; they will play a decisive role on your opportunity to advance further in the company, or - if you decide to move on - they will usually be the most obvious choice for a reference. As a result, all workers have to carefully nurture their relationship with their boss, doing what they can to stand out, make a good impression, and be considered a vital part of the team.
Unfortunately, there is one scenario in particular that seems to make all of those things impossible: the times when you realize that your boss has made a mistake. There’s no denying that the realization your boss has done something wrong creates a sinking feeling.

We give your our tips to getting through this sticky situation.
