white socks in general is lunacy, make the piece of clothing most likely to get thoroughly dirty hard to get clean (-looking)

I dress more smartly than my boss’s boss’s boss, and that still means comfortable jeans and whatever shoes I like (i wear what you’d call waiter shoes because they look nice and feel great and it’s actually quite rare for people to get down on their knees next to me to peer at the label)

my work would probably prefer I wore shoes around the office, but I’ve seen plenty of people not bother

wearing jeans to the office because the important decision makers wore jeans was like pulling teeth for the first few days

if socks and sandals are the new ... look....

that may be a bridge too far

at that point shooting up the office seems about equally preferable to appearing in person.

i miss wearing a cheapo garbage suit every day. it was comfortable and it was 0 effort since there was a dry cleaner inside my office building. and nobody cared how it fit anyway

i had a friend who worked at texas instruments who got similarly called out last year for wearing iirc dark blue instead of black dress pants?

even people who openly state they don't give a poo poo often do, even if they are unaware of it. pack mentality is hard to fuckin break, man, it's kind of a fundamental human thing to do

we are essentially monkeys with very highly developed sweat glands

edit: I guess, given the monkey thing, I should be glad that tribal "belonging" is marked by something as silly as clothing, instead of compulsively loving each other and picking bugs out of fur. the clothing thing sucks but it could be worse!

depends. here in latvia, minimal monthly salary is 500 before tax. no name brand fitted suit is 800.

shoes? cheap if you have baby foot size like 44 or whatever. had i have a need for a matching pair of basic oxfords at 48ee? that’s another 500 custom job, these things physically do not exist within at least an hour worth of airfare
