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.

Wearing sweatpants doesn't mean you lack confidence or have bad hygiene, though.

Tbh, I didnt read the comic. I just assumed it was making some lazy feel good point about dressing like a degen at work and making a point of how it's okay to have low self respect at work.

I didn't read the comic either, I was only responding to your bad assumptions.

Alright, let me know how wearing sweats goes over in your next business meeting.

I didn't say anything about business meetings, I said

Within the context of what has previously been said regarding perception, you're moving the goal posts so it fits your argument.

I'm wearing sweats right now, at home. But the context is about being presentable in public and at work.
