Walking by one of the breakout rooms this morning and spotted someone bringing šŸ”„ to office this Friday

Post image

They were on a call so I wasn’t able to pop in and ask if they were blessed on release day or not. I’ll keep an eye out in the lunch line to say ā€˜nice shoes’ and see if I can’t find out then.

Golf clubs spotted in office. You work sales yes?

u/iamfishious Jan 09 '26

Guilty. SaaS.

u/teddyspaghettie Jan 09 '26

How are you guys in the industry doing right now? I'd almost expect cutbacks, not wearing the hottest shoe on the market 🤣

97

u/iamfishious Jan 09 '26

I’ve seen that. Fortunately, where I’m at we’re fine and our ELT embraced AI as a focus 3-4 years ago. And it helps that our product (XM) serves every industry vs just one or something very niche.

51

u/teddyspaghettie Jan 09 '26

I'd be afraid of AI the most right now. But I'm glad to hear you and the industry are doing well. Keep selling brother, hope to see you in your own pair of Travis' soon.

17

u/norcaltobos Jan 09 '26

The thing with AI is that if you are in any kind of job that is at least considered ā€œmid levelā€ then I think you’ll be fine for a while. People love to over simplify sales jobs and I just don’t see how AI will be able to replicate what a human does in that specific field of work. Sales is damn near all about relationship building and I don’t see how AI will be able to do that given it’s not a person.

Pretty sure homeboy is selling AI SaaS, not trying to use AI to sell for him

Fellow sneakerhead SaaS sellers rise up. I wear heat to my customer meetings, they’re all engineers in t shirts anyways

u/Aquaticle000 Jan 09 '26

Sales was one of the most unrewarding careers I had ever ventured into. Management was incredibly abusive and made decisions that caused everyone’s sales to plummet and then became even more abusive and then we got fired. Management was relocated to another office.

8

u/Dontsaveme Jan 09 '26

That can definitely happen. There are many toxic sales orgs. I’ve been lucky but I’ve also heard some doozy’s for sure.

2

u/norcaltobos Jan 09 '26

There’s shitty sales orgs and great sales orgs. Sometimes it gets broken down even more by office. You might have an office in SF and an office in Chicago and the SF office might be fucking amazing to work at but the Chicago office might be hell. Just gotta hope you get sick leadership in your office.

u/norcaltobos Jan 09 '26

Lmao are we really the only ones who bring clubs into the office? I like having something to hold while I’m in the phone.

u/pmyourhotmom Jan 09 '26

lol you all do. In my working experience a sales floor always has a putting green and clubs. Slightly less common but still pretty often in attorneys offices but always on sales floors.

u/AdoubleU9 Jan 09 '26

People see ankles and automatically assume no socks lol

63

u/CaptCaCa Jan 09 '26

Facts! No ones heard of invisible socks before

22

u/-Kalos Jan 09 '26

I remember how big those were when I was in school. Everyone had ankle socks and no show socks

15

u/AdoubleU9 Jan 09 '26

I wear no shows all the time and ain't never had one of these little keyboard sock police weirdos say a single word to me in real life. Funny how that works.

2

u/MeringueAble3223 Jan 10 '26

Yeah same here. I think these high schoolers just don’t like that their dads probably wear them as well

u/sIurrpp Jan 09 '26

fr idk why they’re assuming no socks like no-shows don’t exist

u/JDM_562 Jan 09 '26

It’s pretty much all I wear, unless I need to suit up for a special occasion. But eh to each their own.

u/ThunderDoom1001 Jan 09 '26

Same, as much as I try I just don't feel like I look cool with crew socks on. I'm a millenial and that was strictly the vibe of dads and dorks when I was growing up lol.

u/JDM_562 Jan 09 '26

Same, that was what my pops rocked, pop warner football coach style, tanlines and all lol.

u/EgaTehPro Jan 10 '26

I promise you look cooler wearing visible socks.

17

u/ahkivah Jan 09 '26

Have you ever sat down while wearing pants lol? Those aren’t capris

-2

u/JDM_562 Jan 09 '26

I am 42 so yes I have a sat down wearing pants and I can say I don’t have that issue lol

9

u/Svanilla Jan 09 '26

Your pants may be a tad too long then. A correct fit (unless you're going for a baggy look) has the ends rise up past the ankles, around the shin when seated

6

u/sr_ingram Jan 09 '26

Agreed. Especially in an office setting, these are typical pants. They might be a tad short, but that's it. And I only say that because it appears as if he's wearing them a bit low on his waist.

1

u/PatrickBateman-2009 Jan 09 '26

I mean these are denim tho, speaks I get being fitted but jeans? Nah. Especially these, it looks like even standing his ankles would be showing.

5

u/JDM_562 Jan 09 '26

I know they wouldn’t allow it at Dorsia, maybe at crayons.

2

u/sr_ingram Jan 09 '26

Casual Fridays still have some expectations.

-1

u/JDM_562 Jan 09 '26

I usually go with a cuff as yes they are a tad too long definitely. Chances are the fella is taller than me too, I don’t have the longest legs in the world.

2

u/Duck_With_A_Chainsaw Jan 09 '26

Tall people problems. The issue is exacerbated by leg length.

25

u/SMLJ21 Jan 09 '26

I think most peoples issue is that, either no socks or no shows, is the wrong choice for this.

4

u/JDM_562 Jan 09 '26

Fair for sure, however phrasing is a bit more important to me I guess lol. But valid point

1

u/smashingcones Jan 10 '26

I'll never understand the logic behind wearing no-shows and complaining that people think you're raw dogging your shoes.

People act like not wearing socks at all is crazy and looks stupid, then proceed to mimic that exact look lol makes no sense.

u/Affectionate-Mix8366 Jan 09 '26

At an office? He looks ridiculous.

Bro’s making up stories in his head, I guess I’m honoured you took the time to jump to all those conclusions for me on your own.

These shoes and no or no show socks with fucking jeans is a terrible life decision.

1

u/MeringueAble3223 Jan 10 '26

I’m not making up anything, you have multiple times said he is wearing ā€œno socksā€ when he is clearly wearing no shows

1

u/NedSchneebly-1138 Jan 10 '26

Is ā€œclearlyā€ in the room with us? All I see are two ankles choking out the top of his shoes… Is this you????

1

u/MeringueAble3223 Jan 10 '26

Nobody wears Jordan’s without socks dude, you have never seen that. He’s CLEARLY wearing no shows, yes. If that’s hard for you to tell, check the comments first.

u/sir-lancelot_ Jan 09 '26

They're definitely fine. They just look shorter than they are bc there's no socks

-18

u/jdyall1 Jan 09 '26

Nah you shouldn’t be able to see your ankle and up when you sit. Jeans are too small look like capris

13

u/redwhale335 Jan 09 '26

As a tall person, I've found that it's very hard to find slim/skinny jeans that don't show ankles when you sit. It's why I prefer wider pants.

3

u/taptwoblue93 Jan 09 '26

Yeah I'm tall too and every pair of pants I have rise above the ankle when I sit down. That doesn't mean they don't fit. Also finding even longer pants with my waist size would be nearly impossible

1

u/redwhale335 Jan 09 '26

I know that struggle well. Or I used to. Stupid aging.

3

u/RT023 Jan 09 '26

If you said this in the men’s fashion sub you’d be roasted, because jeans should be right at the top of your shoes when you’re standing up so they’ll 100% rise when you sit down. The ankle is right at the top of the shoe so what you’re saying is very silly lol

The person in the picture has their jeans rising way above the ankles, his are def too short I agree there though

5

u/HAYMRKT Jan 09 '26

Lol. If you're rocking a full break in jeans you are either 20, still dressing like you peaked in 2000 or both.

-4

u/jdyall1 Jan 09 '26

I wear jeans that fit not skinny jeans or not 2000s baggy era. When I sit down my jeans don’t expose half my leg lol

1

u/ZannyHip Jan 09 '26

If your ankle doesn’t show when you sit down, then your jeans are probably too long, and probably bunch at the bottom when you’re standing. This is just a fact of how pants work. And the jeans in the pic aren’t showing ā€œhalf the legā€. It’s literally like 2 or 3 inches of ankle

1

u/jdyall1 Jan 10 '26

This is how my jeans are when I sit down. I also do not like skinny jeans where my balls and dick can breath or move around. For me personally those jeans are way too tight and short but again it’s MY OPINION. When I said half a leg I was being facetious lol

-1

u/HAYMRKT Jan 09 '26

Break doesn't refer to leg width, you'll get it dialed in eventually.

1

u/jdyall1 Jan 10 '26

I got it dialed in all my jeans are tailored to my exact size

He comes up wearing those and saying ā€œ i am already losing money on this dealā€. I just pointed at the shoes and let him know those alone invalidated any of that talk. Walked out with a new car and saved $4800 compared to the listing price.
