A fun "fish out of water" movie is The Intern with Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. A retired executive applies for a senior intern position and shows up in a suit & tie - and gets & keeps the job because of his excellent people skills. Thing to watch - over the course of the movie he converts his slob coworker into dressing a little sharper.
- Jtsummers 10y agoHow you dress can affect how you act. I had a friend whose job moved to telecommuting for his last few years before retiring. Before then he always wore a shirt and tie (not the jacket, south Georgia), after he switched to sweats and a t-shirt unless he had to visit a customer. That lasted about a month. He couldn't get himself into the work mindset in that attire, those were the clothes he wore when he got home and stopped thinking about work for 20+ years. So he would get up, every day, put on his shirt and tie, and sit at his desk in his home office for his work hours because he couldn't be productive any other way. Your attire is part of your ritual. If your work day begins with a cup of coffee and a conversation with some friends in the office, and you skip it for a week, your week feels off. Because your ritual is off.
