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! |
