Not acceptable, but people are going to do what they want to do without realizing there will be consequences.
RSM 1, I think the whole point of people in tech (not just CEOs) never wearing suits is because it’s not required to actually do the job. Just like tech CEOs, accountants don’t need to look a certain way in order to do their work.
It is important to understand that appearance is the first factor that inspires confidence. Especially with strangers that don’t know you. This is also what professional office attire is signalling. That’s why skimpy or revealing outfits are not acceptable. And we know this. We proved you can be just as effective doing your job in PJ due to WFH policies but we still dress up for client meetings etc. Anyway you slice it, visible body tattoos especially on the face will limit the success of people in client facing roles. We know this but like to gaslight ourselves into believing otherwise. I guess some people prefer experiential learning
It's a learned mentality tho. We were taught to think that certain ways of dressing were or were not professional. Over the last decade, this standard has substantially changed. Today, If you dress up too much, it can be seen as a negative. The older generations tend to have trouble adapting, but the newer generations are much more relaxed.
I'm the client now, not client-facing, and I don't care at all what the auditors are wearing. Neither does anyone on my team. I've been told that I dress too fancy just because I don't like wearing jeans lol
I know someone with one of those bull nose rings and she works at EY and apparently no one has an issue with it. I feel like that's wild but I guess times have changed?
There’s a reason why it’s called back office work.
