Zenister 0 #32 June 17, 2003 QuoteYeah, but would someone respect your opinion as much if you had on a skydiving t-shirt and baggy jeans? I ...., you're in the real world now i have to point out that anytime i'm in a meeting and someone wearing a tie opens his mouth its usually not worth listening to...all the people who do the real work are in BDUs and pullovers/jeans/cargo pants..ties are a sign your brain has adjusted to functioning for long periods of time without adequate O2 only the adminosphere managerial types ever wear them and no one listens to them anyway..they dont know how the real world works outside the glass boxes..____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

When you're in sales, you have to project a certain image to make the customer comfortable and believe that you know what you are talking about so they will want to part with their money.

TheRus 0 #35 June 17, 2003 ties are a sign your brain has adjusted to functioning for long periods of time without adequate O2 Agreed... and with an 18" neck it is TOUGH to keep enough O2 where I need it. Thankfully I trained my brain to function on a low-O2 environment with extended alcohol research several years ago. Did away with all those "extra" cells sucking up precious O2 without contributing.

Geez, Arthur, you're pitching a fit just like my son does when I make him wear a shirt with a collar....only he's 12 years old! edited to add: if you don't want to wear a tie, I hear McDonald's is hiring.

TheRus 0 #39 June 17, 2003 Look man, I can relate. I HATE that I have to dress up in this ridiculous clothes to do a job that I could do in shorts and a t-shirt. You saw pictures of what I looked like so you know how I LIKE to look. It does not change the fact that people (as a whole) will pre-judge you based on how knowledgeable/competent/whatever you appear to be (in the area of specialty you are representing). In essence, you have to look the part you are going to play. It's part of the modern business world. Once you get all grown up and are in charge, PLEASE do us all a favor and change it.

PLEASE do us all a favor and change it. it is and has...just lots of dinosaurs that need to die before things will really change..a great many companies have figured out that "appearance" (meaning the drone uniform) has nothing to do with professionalism or productivity. lots of old school (and ex military officers) are having issues adjusting..but i just saw a retired Col try threaten to fire a software guru last month because he didnt like his haircut (none) or his manner of dress.. (shorts & loud shirt) it was really neat to be in the 'after' meeting.. "uh sir you might want to change your approach to james..he wont listen if you yell, and he just wont show up (or will show up and bitch) if you make this an issue....and your deadline cant afford that..." innovation does not come from those who fit into cookie cutter molds...____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Clownburner 0 #42 June 17, 2003 Patience, young Jedi. When I got my first executive job I made sure to write in my contract that "I never have to wear a tie, ever, for any reason." The dork suit is just part of the hazing we inflict on those new to the business world. Good luck, BTW!7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRus 0 #43 June 17, 2003 innovation does not come from those who fit into cookie cutter molds... Agreed. But at the same time, you can't feed your kids when you don't have a job because you didn't suck it up and wait for the old man to die. I'm on the inside and I am doing what I can (I'm actually WAY more "modern" than anyone in this office even with my new look). Although I do envy people who are in positions where they have training/skills that allow them to do as they please without regard to the dinosaurs because the work CANNOT be done without them.

SkyDekker 1,465 #44 June 17, 2003 Quoteinnovation 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #45 June 17, 2003 Actually, IT does have a dress code.... just as Zen said (I think it was you a few post back, sorry too lazy to check), he wont take anything that comes out of a suit's mouth seriously...Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
