[00:16.11]Did you see the way [00:17.713]that Brian come to work yesterday [00:19.374]Ever since [00:20.882]he come back from that comference in Silicon Valley [00:23.657]he's been coming to work dressed [00:25.337]in jeans and sweatshirts [00:26.458]It's like he's decide to make himself [00:29.196]at home in his office [00:31.153]I don't know how long [00:32.551]it'll take before the management [00:34.129]talks to him about it [00:36.01]He was really influenced [00:37.59]by the way they do things on the west coast [00:39.838]I guess the working atmosphere [00:41.161]is a lot more relaxed and casual in California [00:44.529]It comes from the information [00:46.226]technology industry [00:48.120]there isn't such a large [00:49.620]division between home and office [00:51.832]so people want to work in the clothes [00:54.433]they feel most relaxed in [00:56.17]Maybe so [00:56.770]but it seems kind of strange [00:59.209]with the rest of us [01:00.519]in white shirts dark suits and ties [01:02.893]It's not as bad as that [01:04.905]We are allowed to wear [01:06.989]more casual jackets and trousers [01:09.258]Besides [01:09.581]didn't you hear [01:10.913]what Brain found on his desk this moring [01:14.337]What's that [01:15.841]Management decide to [01:16.893]give him four brand new white shirts [01:19.586]That's their way of telling him [01:22.153]that this new style of dressing down [01:24.53]is not quite acceptable [01:38.678]Even if our company didn't have a dress code, [01:41.344]I still think people would wear formal clothing to work. [01:43.594]I wouldn't be so sure [01:46.824]Pleplo want to wear what they feel most comfortable in. [01:50.192]Maybe that's ture for some position, [01:53.384]but I think the marketing and sales staff [01:55.866]would definitely not agree. [01:58.148]They dress for sucess! [02:00.168]You can't go out on a sales call [02:02.618]if you are dressed in jeans. [02:04.593]It's just not respectful to your clients. [02:07.440]I think what you wear is so overrated. [02:09.384]I would rather have a down-to-earth, [02:12.529]honest and solid sales person than a painted, [02:15.312]patent leather,designer suit salesman. [02:18.242]It's not as simple as that. [02:20.866]People judge you by your appearence, [02:23.120]whether you like it or not. [02:25.399]So dressing professional is being professional. [02:28.275]The image that [02:29.212]you portray to other is so important in business. [02:32.808]It is your image and how others perceive you that [02:35.992]makes the difference between landing or loosing a sle. [02:39.568]Maybe you're right, [02:41.192]but I'll take my sneakers and jeans any day!
