Well, this is a new one.
Some career counselor has advised women not to wear wedding rings to job interviews because it gives the impression that they're "high maintenance." It started with this blog post and then blew up on social and started spilling out everywhere. The exact advice reads as follows:

""When a man sees that ring he immediately assumes you are high maintenance. When the woman at the office who has the largest diamond on her finger, sees that ring, she will realize that if you are hired she will fall to second place and will, therefore, not like you. Lose the ring!"

Wow. What do you think?
