His direct supervisor does not- mostly slacks and a polo. He just likes wearing a suit and tie.. Not really any other reason. If he could wear a tie to everything, he would. On casual Fridays, he wears jeans, a button up shirt, and a tie.
IT manager on the weekdays, logistics computer specialist in the guard. Douche by Elle's standards because he won't go to work without a tie.
Also, we rarely have all of our electronics working in the house.
No no. I am a lawyer. I am familiar with the concept of ties. It's only douchey if he wears one while his direct supervisors do not because he is evesomuch more professional than they are.
I went to law school with a guy who took final exams in a suit. He said it gave him a psychological advantage because it scared the other students. I bet there are people on this board who remember him. Biggest Douche Ever. Sadly, lost him to Harvard after just one short semester.
I disagree with your assertion that the intent of dressing up is Bc they think they are better than/more professional than anyone else. My h doesn't care what others thinks about him. He dresses up in a casual work environment because he says it helps keep himself in a professional mindset. It has nothing to do with what his supervisors are wearing.
H dresses up for work also. Hes always worked in a professional.attire environment so when he switched to his current employer, whos very casual, he just felt more comfortable and professional. I don't think hes a douche.
No, really, it is douchey to dress significantly more formally than your supervisors. In a business environment you take your cues from those senior to you. A little more formal is great. But wearing a suit and tie while they are in sweatshirts is douchey and everyone in the office knows it.
H goes to work in slacks and a polo or maybe a buttondiwn while his coworkers, including his supervisors, go in jeans and polo's. Its not a signifigant difference but still less casual.
Well, really, who doesn't love the feeling of cloth cinching his throat? I hear constrained breath can be very comforting.
Listen, there is no reason to dress like that except thinking it gives you some weird edge over your co-workers. If someone who reports to me showed up in a suit and tie every day I'd probably think "wow, someone sure thinks he's a grown up lawyer." I wouldn't hold it against him professionally or anything but yeah, socially, I'd be thinking "weirdo.". And I'd think he was a gunner. And I just can't fully trust gunners. Or compensating for something. It's off putting to me.

Yeah, that's not weird to me. A full suit and tie is weird. A polo and pants can be as comfortable as a polo and jeans. That makes sense. It's not a huge difference. I was thinking more along the lines of wedding a suit and tie while your superiors are in polo shirts.

Yeah I get what you're saying.
H can do his job in his underwear, but at the office he prefers to be business casual. Its just his preference.

I still need to know what makes my husband's job (narcotics compliance) douchey. I mean, he is definitely a douche sometimes. But I never thought his job was the culprit, lol.

After our split, he quit working offshore and is now on a land rig drilling for oil. He realized what that was doing to our family and marriage. 1 week away is WAY better than 3 gone.

This exactly. When your supervisor is in charge of talking to students about tuition and loans, and he's wearing a tshirt that doesn't cover his gut, and half the office is walking around without their shoes on in what should be a professional setting, and guys are wearing baseball hats when dealing with students, there is something wrong with how the supervisors are leading, IMO. My H dresses up because that's what he would expect from someone he would talk to about money. His mom told him to dress for the job he wants, and he took it to heart.
In most cases, yes, take cues from your superiors. but when your superiors are not dressing even in khakis and polos, it's hard to follow that in his work setting. Plus, it makes him feel good, and that's what matters. He gets more respect inside and outside of the office that way.
I was bragging about it because he looks hot in a suit (and he doesn't wear the jacket, just the rest of it).
A) How close is this restaurant to me (Michigan) B) Is he hiring? Specifically for desserts, but I can do everything and need a new job!
But for realz now...
My H is a "Youth Specialist" and a county youth facility. He tries to straighten out delinquents before the f-up too much and end up in the detention facility.
He wants to 'break into' the youth parole officer field.
My h worked as a counseling psychologist at a youth detention center for a while. The kids he encountered there were terrifying sociopaths - crimes like murdering their parents/siblings, etc. He still has nightmares sometimes. I admire your h for wanting to deal with that.

Test technician for a company that builds radio wave tubes for aircraft. Basically he spends all day working on a 40 year old tube that doesn't function properly but is worth over $30,000. Fun times. He is also in school to become an Electrical Engineer.
