I sometimes feel mad when my boss gets mad at me for wearing jeans and a collared shirt on Wednesday, even though it's compliant with company policy.

22 Eargesplitten posted:I might have to take a 2 month long contract. That's two <1yr contracts in a row. Would it be poor form to put something in the description of the job mentioning that they're contracts? At this point I've got 11 months, 9 months, and now potentially 2 months. That doesn't look good. When I was contracting, I just had one heading and the various contract high point(s) were listed below it, not as separate headers. code:DigitalMocking fucked around with this message at 15:05 on May 3, 2016 |

I wear a tie to work every day. It's about as fun as it sounds. But, the job pays well and I otherwise like working there. So a tie it is.

Same here, at least we get business casual fridays so we can wear polos and slack. Also one work from home day a week so it's really only wearing a tie 3 days a week.

I haven't worn a tie in so long, I'd need youtube to remember how to even put it on.

Pretty much the only rules of my attire are no shorts (this is a recent change in the last couple years) and collars. Given I work at an MSP as a tier 2 slash site tech, so I'm customer facing. I don't wear nice slacks cause gently caress you if you think I'm going to crawl around on the floor and ruin them, but I make the effort to wear a button down or polo and look nice. Sometimes even just a nice sweater or cardigan with a tshirt under is fine. I've never really had a job where I had to dress super spiffy.

Colonial Air Force posted:Time to will have to wait for now. I'm in a particularly good spot at work. I've been working from home for over a week now, moving up to 6 weeks of leave whenever my baby comes.  If everything has gone to poo poo when I get back I'll reconsider. But I might also just ride it out for a bit because the pay is good and I've got tenure coming out my ears.

Making the transition from private sector to gubmint was an interesting change in dress code. It was kind of worth it though, it feels good to dress professionally and nobody wears Korn t-shirts to meetings.

This reminds me of a diatribe I heard at a consultancy firm about how Millenials don't know how to act and think it's acceptable to wear "garbage like Metallica shirts" to company meetings. Sounds like that gentleman had his life in order, sir!

My perfect workplace attire would be fashion from about 1810, but barring that, I'll take clean over anything. I used to wear slacks and a polo or button-up, except on days I knew I'd be in a server room, but since I work at a ski resort now, I just wear jeans and either a polo or a decent long sleeved shirt over a tee.

adorai posted:It takes more effort to do that than it does to just tie the tie. Untrue, I wore a tie every day for highschool, it is simpler to tie it once, then loosen it to take it off, then re-tighten each day after putting on. Sure, you will have to occasionally re-tie it, but not often.

When I see someone in a tie at the office, I immediately assume they're a vendor and trying to sell us something.

you WILL ruin the tie that you do this with. (referring to the leaving the tie tied forever thing) Honestly, it's not hard to tie one, the problem is that when you do it 5 days a week at some ungodly hour in the morning (I'm not a morning person) you will gently caress it up often and end up spending a few minutes re-doing it. I can tie a tie without a problem, but do you really want to have to do it every morning while you're half asleep and somewhat likely to gently caress up? No.

DigitalMocking posted:When I was contracting, I just had one heading and the various contract high point(s) were listed below it, not as separate headers. Only problem with this is that at a glance it looks like you're hiding an employment gap. And often times all your resume gets is that glance. Could work if it's pretty well in your past and you have continuous recent employment though. If you have been fairly continuously employed, I'd nth the recommendation to put "[Company Name] (contract) mm/yy-mm/yy"

A trinity knot just looks like you knotted your tie together trying to figure out a real knot
