A horde of trailer-park visigoths can sack the Capitol and Republicans say “what’s the big deal?” But let one guy show up in casual clothes and they lose their goddamn minds.

    Is anyone here in a client facing job allowed to dress like this? This guy is on TVs and websites around the world dressed like he rolled out of bed and grabbed yesterday’s shirt out of the laundry. Not on the weekend where he got called in for an emergency, but for a regular workday; one where he was scheduled to lead the all-day meeting he was in.

    The vast majority of Americans have a dress code for work. It really isn’t an issue when the boss shows up to work looking like a hobo to fix something on their day off, but if they dress like this every day its a slap in the face to all their employees with a dress code.

    If this guys showed up rocking a turtleneck and jeans or a polo and khaki shorts and people lost their minds that would be one thing, but look at that picture again and tell fill me in on the latest version of whataboutism.

    Nothing wrong with relaxing the dress code some, but this guy is a walking example of why most companies have them.

      I’m looking at that picture and I don’t see anything that would cause a safety hazard nor anything offensive, so I don’t give a shit and neither do the vast majority of people. He’s not wearing anything that would negatively impact his job performance, it’s fine.

      Also, its the legislature. If there was a dress code, it should be red and blue jerseys with their donor’s logos on them.
