i'll take someone with that attitude problem over a doormat any day.
- slantyyz 15y agoNo, I'm saying that there's a scale. If you're a rock star, more is tolerated of you. If you're just average, you can't insist on rock star treatment.
- sgk284 15y agoThere's nothing rockstar about wearing comfortable clothes.
- slantyyz 15y agoComfortable clothes and dressing up are not mutually exclusive. Just because a nerd might not know how to find comfortable dressier clothes does not make a suit uncomfortable in itself. And what I was trying to say is that a rock star (insert profession here) is more likely to be able to get away with saying "I'm going to wear whatever the f--- I want to wear" than someone who is just good, especially in a workplace where wearing jeans and t-shirts is not an accepted norm. And that's usually the case outside of the tech startup and creative worlds.
