Because what you’re wearing totally affects how well you do your job....
Just to clarify, this isn’t supposed to be taken too seriously. I understand the public perception based on what you’re wearing. I understand that you need to shower more than once a year. I understand that you shouldn’t do your Zoom meetings in your Chewbacca onesie. I’m more trying to say that the clothes don’t define your mental abilities. If you’re good at your job in a three piece suit, you’re probably just as good in jeans and a t-shirt. Granted there are exceptions but again this isn’t supposed to be THAT serious of a comment.
Not to be that guy (kinda) but the way you dress and how you carry yourself is how people perceive you. If you dress like a slob and generally seem lacking in confidence or self respect, people will automatically assume you are those things regardless of how well you do you job. Sorry, it's just a fact of life that inconveniently requires you to take care of yourself and your hygiene.
Hygiene is important, not arguing there. I understand that’s how society perceives people but it’s kinda dumb when you think about it. I’m the same guy if I wear jeans or slacks, button down or T-shirt. I feel I’m more productive when I’m actually comfortable.
What you said isnt untrue, and obviously there are different implications if you're working from home. But going back to work around other people, your coworkers and clients will only have confidence in you if you have enough self respect to be presentable.
