However, it is more used at some companies and less used at others... it's hard to determine the office culture sometimes - in some places, you sound rude or unenthused if you don't exclaim your thanks. </p> <p>Hoodies at work are hands-down a bad idea, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-dressing-can-damage-even-tech-career#post-620356 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:49:03 +0000 JennyAnne 620356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting article. When I was in the work force (before being stay-at-home mom), I wore a uniform, but there were a few people (who didn't wear uniforms) who could have learned the difference between dressing up for the bar and dressing up for the office.

It retails for $148." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-dressing-can-damage-even-tech-career#post-620321 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:07:12 +0000 Angie 620321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pop it on the links love post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-dressing-can-damage-even-tech-career#post-620319 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:05:01 +0000 Amy 620319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would show this to my husband, but he's just laugh...</p> <p>I also use too many exclamation points. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-dressing-can-damage-even-tech-career#post-620312 Tue, 15 May 2012 15:51:10 +0000 ironkurtin 620312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://it-jobs.fins.com/Articles/SBB0001424052702304451104577389973837656292/You-re-Not-Zuckerberg-So-Leave-the-Hoodie-at-Home" rel="nofollow">http://it-jobs.fins.com/Articl.....ie-at-Home</a></p> <p>Maybe I should share this with the boys at work.
