It’s like everyone lost their mind during covid and devolved to unprofessional behavior…particularly when it comes to appearance.

If your team is simply meeting without clients, external parties, etc., then maybe you can get away with a nice solid t-shirt. But it shouldn’t have logos, writing, pictures, etc.

If clients/external parties are involved, then you need to dress like you are in the office. No t-shirts.

And interviews require a jacket.

Geez.

I’m struck by how so many people dress inappropriately.

We met with lawyers from a fancy Big Law firm and one was in t-shirt and zipper hoodie like a tech bro. So weird.

And just last week I was in a zoom meeting with two dozen people from nearly as many orgs, and I noticed multiple people wearing t-shirts with pictures or writing. WTH are people thinking?

It sounds like it's not actually weird or inappropriate anymore.

Calm down. I work in my PJs most days.

I published 3 major strategic analyses last year for public and private sector clients and will be quoted in Tier 1 media next week.

Nobody cares what you wear off camera.

Everyone notices when someone is dressed inappropriately or looks unpolished on Zoom. That’s just a fact.

We’re willing to lay a bunch extra for non-autistic tech experts.

How many jobs have you had to interview for in your teeshirts? Are you a serial job hopper?

At least three offers, two of which I took. Compared to govies on DCUM who think staying for a decade somewhere is ideal, absolutely. Which means I can tell from context what the interview calls for.
