Omg grow up
I know. Imagine having such a cushy life that you're sitting around worried about your co-workers outfits.

I say this as someone who loves advertising and my comment isn’t in any way denigrating the field: We are not an important enough industry to make this request.
No, we're not. Some people have zero common sense though. Don't get me started on the disgusting in office, and clearly at home, lack of hygiene.
lol…no shorts? Go work at a bank.
Are you the same person who posted about how many Polo shirt buttons to button during office hours vs. happy hour? If not, you should both team up!
Nope. The idea of what’s considered “professional” dress is completely arbitrary and manufactured. It simply has no bearing on anything that happens at work except to those who are interested in enforcing conformity with rules. Focus on what actually matters.
@VP1 You have VP level hopes and dreams
I will not be agreeing to this. You get on the ny subway in august in “professional” attire and enjoy your sweat.
RTO is bad enough as it is. Shorts are fine. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Get a hobby man
Hilarious idea for an SNL character sc1!
Whether you like it or not, you will be judged by some people on what you wear.
Some people won’t care or notice what you wear.
Some people will form a negative or positive impression of you based on how you dress and present yourself.
That may flow through to decisions on promotions, raises, bonus, who gets the next cool assignment.
Do what you want. And take the consequences good or bad.
They’re probs going to lay me off before any of that happens. I’ll wear what I want. ✌🏼
Speak for yourself but I can confirm the summer is a ways away from being upon us in the Midwest 🤬
Yes, 50s in Chicago!

I don't care if you're in shorts, I don't care if you're rocking athleisure ware, I don't care if you just came from a surf session, but please, for the love of God, don't be a barefoot in the office person 🤮
Why do you care what other people wear? Just mind your own business.
I’d never trust anyone in a suit to sell me a wild, weird, wonderful idea, that’s shorts energy
It’s 2025, grow up
Thats a pretty hot take from someone whose office is in a mall.
Fascistic Callous Bureaucrat
no
Dons don’t wear shorts.

Nope. If it’s hot as shit, I’m wearing shorts. Also I’m a creative and I can wear whatever I want as long as I do a good job.
Why do you care? Unless you are client facing who cares. we get hot weather and personally I will wear what I want as long as its neat and presentable. Do you want to pay for my wardrobe for summer? If not dont worry about it.
Who the hell is returning to the office hahahahahahhahahha
