Rant...ish? It's more mixed feelings...

Had my first day yesterday at a new job in a big company. I came dressed really nicely in a suit and tie. Went to orientation with everyone new coming in.

Felt like I made the right choice to up my effort in dress code.

Met with my manager, was led to my team. Everyone is dressed casually. Unshaved. Giving me hate stares.

Felt out of place. But kind of happy that I can try less.

Still. What's up with programmers and being toxic to people dressed nicely o.0 I don't need to look like I came out of crunch time every single day to prove my worth...

It's really weird getting these looks. It's almost like highschool all over again. When I let my mother dress me and looked like the nerdiest kid on the block...

Then again, today I'm wearing sneakers and causal clothes. I either feel like I cave in to peer pressure... But at the same time I don't mind it. Erghhh... Still hate this...

Mixed feelings... I donno.

    It's just most likely the level of environment, if you came dressed in a suit to working as a burger flipper, people would give you the red eye too.

    Your place is a burger flipper place and not some fancy corporate environment too.

    @FrodoSwaggins I feel you. In a perfect world you'd wear what you want and everyone else can suck it.

    I just hate that people act like wearing a suit makes you a shittier coder.

    Now that everyday is casual, there should be “Formal Friday”.

    @python3 holy shit, is this actually a thing? (i mean the assumption that a coder in a suit is a bad one)
