A lot of times it is that, Slade; but a lot of other times, girls are just stupid.

If what I've seen is in any way representative, girls start wearing clothes that are inappropriate for the workplace at about age 12 and understand the slogans printed across their t-shirts perfectly well.

...girls are just stupid.

here, here...

I agree that people need to dress in a manner that is appropriate for their jobs and their surroundings. These women can't say that they want equal opportunities without living up to the same standards that the company sets for it's male employees. I shudder to think of the day that men are permitted to go to the office in those "sexy" net shirts and slicky gold shorty shorts. *shudder*

The thing is, these aren't little girls, or even teenagers. These are middle aged women who have been in the professional world for a while, dressing like they don't know any better.

I'd like to see someone tell this to stripper...

[Sailor Abbey]

Sexy clothing is proper attire for exotic dancers.

that and nudity....






...obviously.

I remember in Speech class, I was told that you should dress well during a job interview. The book actually said that it was perfectly OK for someone to be refused a job based simply on their dress.


"Well, you've had 16 years experience, and great people skills, but we're looking for someone with nicer shoes."

Life is too important to be taken seriously.

Zewb: Yep. There's an entire list of bullshit protocol you need to follow in order to do well at an interview. One of the silliest things I learned was that you don't button your bottom coat button because if you have to unbutton your coat to sit down, you are making your potential employer wait for you.

Now, am I the only one that wouldn't even think twice about that if I were interviewing someone? Can you imagine how ridiculously anal interviewers must be to actually care about something like that?

I tie my new employee's hands behind their backs and make them pick up papers with their eyelids. if they succeed they get the job.

I hope to someday have an interesting job that I really like where I can show up barefoot and in the same jeans I wore for the past week, and no one will care because we're doing something awesome like making robots. I am young and idealistic, alas.

[barend]

if you're making robots, you'll probably get to wear a long white overcoat that will cover what pants and shirt (if at all) you are wearing...

however building robots is not the kind of job you want to do barefoot...
stepping on diods and capacitors and what not may be less than comfortable.

[Emu]

hmm, good point.

labcoats are hot.
