ISO a shoe recommendation

I am looking for a women’s, nonslip, all black shoe recommendation. I’m tired of the clog and sneaker look. I don’t want the Mary Jane or ballet flat look from Shoes for Crews. Looking for something stylish that can be worn with women’s business casual. Any brand and price. Just curious if all the usual is all that’s out there.

No Stage - How do I know?!!!

Okay, so I am in an interesting situation. I have spent the last 5 or so years as management in casual fine dining/fine dining restaurants. In these roles, we would usually have stages and trial shifts. I have now switched carreer paths and am in the nightclub/venue circut. How do I make sure I ask the right questions in these interviews to ensure good staff? I want to make sure I can cover that gap so any advice is greatly appreciated!

Improper Training

Does anyone else feel like their training for being a manager has been significantly lacking? Since ive come aboard where I am I have gotten like 5 days of training total for what I actually do. And most of that was just how to run the floor, close and open. I now run a beverage program with an insane amount of moving parts and I get little office time and had almost no training. When I asked for more training I got maybe the worst 25 minutes of training I've ever gotten. Since ive taken over ive just constantly been behind and dont know if I will ever catch up going into the holidays. Just don't get how they think people will want to stay when this is how I have to operate.

It's hard to work at C....

In this restaurant, I've experienced that as a manager, you have to do everything. Marketing, finding suppliers, handling maintenance, dealing with suppliers that haven't been paid, negotiating with the mall about delayed rental payments. You also have to pick up the slack for crew members because there's a manpower shortage. You have to be an all-around, jack-of-all-trades type. There's also politics involved; if they don't want you anymore, you're out immediately. The expectations are huge, but there's no decent support system.
