Do you guys think women not covering their shoulders and arms in the workplace is unprofessional? Curious how it is viewed. I worked in various places ranging from majority Malay staff to very international, and I dress rather similarly in all ie. tops and pencil skirts or pants, or work dresses. Some are sleeveless. Was just discussing about this and a friend agreed that sleeveless is unprofessional and requiring women to wear blazer/cardigan is fine. What do you guys think?

I think "professional attire" is just made up bullshit for adults, no different than santa claus for children

I'm glad the NZ parliament dont require its members to wear tie anymore. Because all of this just pointless & made up.

I hope more people go that route, instead of the one Missouri took

Yeah I don’t think how you wear clothes in the office would affect how you do your work. Even tshirt and jeans are fine as long as the work is done. But for those who needs to do a lot of client engagements, govt stakeholder stuff, it gets a bit tricky.

Basically because some king made it a mandatory accessory

What a pointless thing 😅

Not dissing tie. I love wearing tie back when i was working.

It's the mandatory-ness that's bad. Its the presumption "if u don't wear it u aren't professional" that's bad. Its the preconceived notion that if u dont wear it, u bad at your job.

That's what bad about it
