When I first started working, I wore a necktie to work Monday through Thursday and would never think of showing up to an interview not wearing a suit, and since then wearing a suit to an interview has become somewhat frowned upon and other than a brief flirtation with “necktie Tuesday,” I can’t remember the last time I wore a tie to work. It’s a pity because I look damn good in a suit.
- ghaff 2y agoWhen I first started working, ties in the office but not working on-(work)-site. After grad school, suits were pretty common in product management/marketing/etc. and ties at least pretty common in general. When I came in to talk to some people I mostly knew for my last job ~15 years ago, I did wear a tie and jacket and a couple people joked a bit but I knew them and they had been around long enough to know I just wasn't taking anything for granted.
- dhosek 2y agoI remember once showing up to the office after taking the morning off and one of my co-workers asked why I was wearing a suit and I told him I had a job interview. He thought I was joking and later repeated this to someone else and then said that I had fooled him with that before. Except I did have a job interview and I was so glad to be out of that workplace.
