>where you can wear a hoodie instead of a tie.
A little off topic observation here, but people who can't handle adhering to a business professional dress code are exhibiting a low resilience personality. Not a good thing.
Not to mention the reality that a button down shirt, slacks and a tie, when properly fitted, are not constrictive at all.
- softawre 9y agoPeople who can't handle life at minimum wage aren't showing much resilience either, but why put yourself through that?
- vesrah 9y agoI suspect that business professional dress codes coincide with a number of other workplace downers that a lot of us don't like.
- x14 9y agoSome people value self-expression and would rather be judged by the quality of their work than their appearance.
- krapp 9y agoHoodies have become as much a standard of conformity as suits. You're just conforming to an unspoken requirement to appear sufficiently non-conformist. Show up in such an environment wearing a suit and see how much your self-expression is valued.
