    They believe that because that’s how it used to work (and still does in some industries). That’s their lived experience.

        Maybe not in general, but it IS the reason that if you look at photos of the million man march, they’re all dressed up. Reason being, they were afraid any media coverage would paint them as degdnerates, thugs, and vandals. It’s much harder to paint that picture if they’re marching in unison wearing 3 piece suits, and their sunday best.

        This in the middle of the summer when that was wildly uncomfortable.

          That was also a time when a man wouldn’t dare leave his house without wearing a hat.

          Times have changed. The only people who care about the shit anymore are boomers. People can go to work in the pajamas for all I care.

            I like that a lot. I’m GenX but I always hated the suit & tie bullshit. These days I don’t even own a suit that fits. The last time I wore one was at a wedding in 2005 or so.

      This. I work in un-unionized trades, which is arguably the least changed career since the time of the Boomers, and this advice does still actually apply
