Yeah, I don't care if IT people dress in t-shirts and jeans, but I hate that poor excuse. I get it constantly from my co-workers. Shirts can be washed, you know. Sometimes they're even less expensive than hoodies. I crawl under desks in coat and tie, and I've always been able to get the dust off. Heck, I spilled an entire pink toner cartridge on a pair of flannel pants and they could be recovered without even going to the dry cleaners.When working at an office I really hated the slobby IT section types. Oh but they had to crawl under desks etc....yeah yeah...
While, I, myself like to wear my powdered wig daily, I couldn't care less what other people wear. If they want to be slobs with their own real, natural hair showing, I'm indifferent. On the other hand, it may be an issue in terms of professionalism: I really think an 11 lbs. powdered wig with no less than 17 ringlets is still the only way to be taken seriously in the 19th century workplace. And I can state with almost metaphysical certitude that this will be the case for the forseeable future.
it doesn't take more effort to dress well, but it makes someone lazy if they don't...
I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about how casual America has become and the leniency towards how one dresses, especially in the workplace. The Casual nature of corporate America bothers him greatly. He claims that people work harder, feel confident, and there is some sort of referencing hard work with business formal clothing. Essentially looking professional makes one act that way and preform better. Kind of a psychology.
The fact that so few younger people ever see even a jacket.
I wonder what the view point is of people that went to schools requiring a jacket.
