Jeans and a T-Shirts are not less than a suit. It is not the clothes that makes a person.
As I said, it shows a number of things, including how seriously you take the situation. I also didn't specify you had to wear a suit, but something decent that expresses that you're taking the situation seriously is often called for.
Clothing is a form of non-verbal communication, like it or not. You don't have to agree with it, it's just the way humans have operated for thousands of years. Wearing business apparel instead of a graphic T-shirt is no different from saying "Good morning, Mr. Smith" instead of "What's the haps, duuude?"
Is the person in a suit the person you are, or the person you pretend to be.
That's rude. Is the person in the blue jeans the person you are or who you pretend to be? Or is clothing just a form of self-expression and non-verbal communication?
You're presuming a lot about why people wear suits, and insinuating they couldn't possibly have a personality to match, and you're being amazingly insulting in the process.
I've never seen anybody in a suit (matching pants and jacket, etc.) during their own time.
Doesn't mean they don't exist. I've known two. As to myself, I often enjoy wearing a button-down shirt with suspenders and a bow tie on my own time. I wear that because I want to.
So when I see somebody in a suit, I know something is up, they probably want to sell me something.
I'm sorry you've had that experience, but I cannot say that, in over ten years as a software developer or internship supervisor, I've known that correlation to be true. Don't confuse your limited experience and careless conclusions with definitive reality. That's the exact same cognitive bias that fuels racism and sexism.
Note, with suit I do not mean business/smart casual.
So, it's only one form of clothing that warrants your prejudice? All due respect, but I think the problem is your viewpoint, not reality.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
