You just went from talking about how casual tees (as opposed to dress tees?) are hot right now to this?
And I don't think I've ever seen someone come in here asking for advice on what to wear to an interview (in the corporate arena with REAL BUSINESSMEN) and responses indicated polos, oxfords.
You're trying too hard to stand out without any real direction in your initiative to properly contribute.
Did you follow him to thr interview or just happened to bump into him two hours later, following the interview that you heard him discussing on the subway and then conveniently, he's talking about racism because he didn't get the mail room job.
Sounds...likely.
I'll give you this, you're a creative dude. You must come up with some impeccable outfits.
Trying to stand out
? Sorry I don't suffer from the need to belong guy, secondly don't GIVE me anything. When you
LIVE IN NEW YORK for real you see the same people two or three times a day on the train. People have
CAREERS, "odd jobs" or are "self employed", meaning they don't
PUNCH THE CLOCK (which I'm sure is why there's so much confusion)
Canary Wharf completely, and utterly ***** on Manhattan and Wall St., dude really tried to come in here on some pompous know it all gig. Fug outta here.
There's no golden rule in the board room or stock exchange floor.. Every corner office honcho doesn't have to dress like Gordon Gekko or Patrick Bateman.
Really? Pompous? "Corner office honcho"? Ah I see what's happening people are taking offense to what being said because you haven't seen it and it's foreign to you.
There's thousands of jobs that rely heavily upon
FIRST APPEARANCE. Some are in fact on Wall St, some are in Long Island.
For instance
"consultants", not the Bobs from Office Space, or Marty Kaan from House of Lies. But real life people who do belt tightening for large firms, some are psych majors, philosophy majors, some are even EX-FBI Profilers.
They can tell who's confident and who's got their chest out just by what they are wearing, how they look in WHAT they are wearing. Little small things like the watch you wear, laces in your shoes, being able to respond correctly to questions about fashion.
Sure here on Niketalk you may feel like "K Steezy's" choice of wardrobe is "the look" you're going for and because if you're not in an INTERVIEWED you're not being interviewed.
The guys work doesn't stop at 5pm, they chop heads off ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE MAIL ROOM and people YOU THINK DON'T MATTER.
If they're bringing in a client who purchased a BILLION dollars in fashion related textiles or clothing (yes real scenario, wait until fashion weeks comes or seasonal prep) and their presentation was air tight even told a few lies about ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES dressing the part. Then a "K Steezy" type guy strolls in with an important brief everyone was suppose to have a copy of, but the client sees he's wearing the wrong tie with his shirt, no watch, wrong belt, wrong materials. He can sub consciously thwart the prospect from signing because he looks like he DOESN'T BELONG and he's PLAYING THE PART. It happens...when a partnered firm just lost BILLIONS that could've saved them this year because of a mail clerk's wardrobe choice you think they're gonna say
"It's cool man, that client was just pompous, Niketalk says we shouldn't judge people on the clothes they wear and everyone wears what they want regardless if it's in or not"
They are canning the HR who hired him, the mail room supervisor and "K Steezy" himself.
There's MBA's on this site who know what I'm talking about, and this is just ONE example of a job that takes wardrobe seriously. Try wearing a "K Steezy" outfit around Goldman Sachs or McKinsey & Company and ATTEMPT to spout out some of this "Niketalk Manisfesto".
Sidenote: So now because you don't agree with the consensus you're "pompous"? ...what doesn't that make me if I know wrong info or contributions are being given and I don't say anything out of fear of "not being liked"?.
