>This concern about appearances adds another layer to the already challenging office environment. This sentence sums up the biggest headache of my professional career. I have never worried about appearances, but instead focused on doing good work. To my detriment. I know I've missed out on key assignments and at least one promotion at my current employer because I don't sell myself or focus on perception management. I guess what I'm saying is, this exists everywhere, in every field of work.
