PhillyKev 0 #52 June 17, 2003 Quoteyou noticed that i didn't make the Title "Come see how studly and hansome i look in a shirt & tie" right? Just being a post whore. It's called passive/aggressive complement trolling. Girls don't say "My ass looks great in these jeans". But that's what they want to hear in response to, "Do these pants make me look fat?"

Pablito 0 #53 June 17, 2003 I used to dress like that for work I stopped, they never said anything about it until i stop dressing like that. Kakhys and a Polo Shirt is the way to go!!!

Zenister 0 #54 June 17, 2003 QuoteQuoteinnovation does not come from those who fit into cookie cutter molds... True, but you may want to keep in mind that not everybody works in an innovation field.... The IT industry is notorious for having people dress in any way they possibly can. The undertaking business for instance, does like people to dress in a certain fashion. Same goes for those in the medical field. IN the same line many people in a business environment will have to adhere to some sort of dress code. Such is life. ALL feilds are innovation..the static mindset makes people think that they arent.. and some places it makes sense..military (for obvious reasons although some of the dress restrictions are arbitary and meaningless, left over artifacts) Medical..ease of identifying coworkers and staff as well as simplicity of clean up.. Undertaking (lol good example) because of the overt sensitvity and social issues..dont really want your undertaker in torn jeans and a "Disturbed" or "Live Undead" tshirt even though i know one who dresses like that when not at work, or at work where you dont see him. but the "business" environment is totally arbitrary..Far to many bad judgments are/have been made on the type/cost of your suit, shoes, watch and your tie than the information and background your company and its employees actually provides..and i think people are starting to see thru the superficial affectations that a business puts out for credibility and actually looking and records and accomplishments.. even in sales..i've annoyed at least one stereo sales man by picking the brain of the 16 year old that was just browsing...he knew far more about how the components interacted and what kinds of speakers/ cables combos & configurations would sound best than the drone in the white shirt and tie who was having a hardtime spelling Hi-Fi without quoting the sales literature i'd already read. appearances are only important factors to those who judge on superficial qualities.. you can put a monkey in a labcoat but that doenst make him an engineer...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Agreed. Unfortunately, much is governed by public perception. I agree that it is not always right to do so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #56 June 17, 2003 In my industry appearances are everything. Money managers are selling confidence and ease of mind. Anything that distracts from that is bad. You want the client comfortable, impressed, and not distracted by natural superficial bias. You want their gut feeling to be that they trust you with their 600 million dollars.

Deuce 1 #59 June 17, 2003 Well. My staff doesn't have to wear a tie, or business attire. Just no jeans and T shirts. We're in the business of Government, and when ya'll (member of the general public) walk in, you want to be treated in a way that makes you not feel ripped off for your taxes. My people do their level best to have you walk out saying "Wow! What a surprise, that didn't suck after all!" People react to the care people take in presenting themselves to the public. It's kind of like how most folks feel flattered that their date of whatever sex took some trouble to look presentable when they rang the doorbell. But when you're pissed, you want the guy in the tie to come out from the back and listen to you bitch, and assure you that the buck stops at the tie, and fix what's got you pissed. That's certainly not everybody, but it is most people. I'd prefer to walk up in my rig, camera-suit, and helmet, but I have no need to actually go out and LOOK for trouble. It definitely knows where I live. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
