In my 20 years of experience as an engineer, the more a company cares about how you look, the crappier the company and the worse quality of engineers working there.

In general I have a rule: if there is a dressing code, I run.

I once worked in a company that did not allow us to wear shorts in Summer... Never again.

I don't think you'd be able to wear shorts in most companies where I live lol. Pants are the norm.

Idk, not wanting cat ears in a picture that is client facing is hardly a dress code. I'm imagining the choker is more of a collar too. (Also this post is probably fake.)

is probably fake yes, but I don't see many issues with cat ears or other accessories honestly. I think we should start normalizing for people to wear whatever they feel comfortable with. Understanding that clothes don't mean professionality would help with many diversity and inclusion issues.

and this comes from a middle aged man that dresses quite "normally" (although I hate suits with passion, you can't even clean them yourself properly, most useless clothes ever)

Idk, one day I went to my town hall for my ID card and the guy had a hoodie with a large "DE PUTA MADRE" caption.... Didn't make a good impression on me tbh.

what is the issue with that hoodie? in which sense do you think that your case was better handled if the person had a fancy suit? did the person not do their work properly?

also the hoodie was clearly a very good one if it was "de puta madre" (I'm originally from the basque country, where that slang means "very very good")

I don't see how the fancy suit comes into this, still, I think a public officer should at the very least avoid wearing clothing with vulgar captions.

I guess if you want you can go to work wearing a t-shirt saying "I BUTTSEX YOUR MOM", let's see how it works out for you. Or go naked, for that matter, if you don't want any limitation at all when it comes to clothing.

That's not what that translates to lol. It really does mean "very good" though if you want to take it literally, it'd mean son of a b*tch.
