Does this mean I gotta get rid of all my t-shirts and start wearing pants without holes in them and a tie? :?Joe DeFuria said:digitalwanderer said:Hold on a tic, does this mean I'm a rich person?!?!
Yes, welcome to political class warfare.

So either I'm rich and can do what I like or I'm not rich so I can still do what I like....win/win!

When I was doing the unofficial project management on the technical part of a very large IT project (you know, managers and IT...), I sometimes did not shave for two days when there was an important political bickerfest (high-level meeting), just to distance myself from them. And I never wear a suit for business, especially not when it is expected of me. I just know very well what I'm talking about.
Heh, I intentionally skip shaving a few days and get scary looking before parent/teacher conferences with my son's teacher I don't like...it intimidates the hell out of her.

Exactly. I totally agree. Wearing a suit gives off the message that you're into sales, marketing or politics (management). People who don't get their hands dirty. If you want to know what is really going on, you want someone who looks like they took it apart and build a better one.
When the company I worked for at that time stated that I would be wearing a suit in the future, I bought a leather jacket (the thing that goes over your shirt) and put that on.
They never asked again. 8)

If you're rich, you're supposed to do as you like.
yeah, digi... if you want to you can wear a black jesters hat around everywhere and act like its totally normal. especially if you're in a bright purple mercedes. funny as hell.

Yea, it really is a shame that you can only advance your career (salary and scope) by becoming a manager. And quite a lot of the IT people who gravitate to large, politically important projects don't know anything about it, they're just wannabe-managers. Which is the single most important reason why just about all big IT projects fail to work as expected.

Now you just need a beard trimmer to keep it at "potentially hobo, or lazy rich dude" length
I got one that keeps 'em just Zonkers length.sytaylor said:
