fyp brah

not very FIFO

disclaimer, I bought the v8supercars one...

[Rekin]

nice one, I thought you would be reppin' one of those GPS time-adjusting watches with you flying all over the world and all..

[emts]

they take too long to sync, most only check their time once a day, and when I go through so many time zones it too long.

for travel I use a pebble steel smart watch that syncs real time to my phone.

and phones sync of the local network so I'm always correct

sorry for taking an interest in my car....

ps; ive driven just over 3000kms since i got it in may this year

[emts]

seriously Paul, what do you think this is, a car forum or something.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Dress for the job you want etc

[Birds]

That's a bit hard for me

[HEKT1K]

haha nothing wrong with fashion.

discussion point: if a workplace culture condones the use of designer tie-clips, this may allude to the point that business-attire could be a factor on the judgement of colleauges. (excluding colleagues who deal with external clients etc)

May not be an issue in your space as mentioned but could be in other places.

Have always worn company issued uniforms for both Site & office along so never had the issue.

However where ones uniform is prescribed, the stand-out factor is usually the flashiest watch.

More people teased me about my Tiffany tie clip than admired me for it lol

Helps that I'm good at my job and not a terrible bloke though

if your career prospects are limited by the type of suit, then your work culture is worth no more than a 80 thread-count suit.

You're all missing the main point here, that Ric was told not to dress sexy at work but continues to spit in the face of authority.

And all that dress for the job you want shit just goes to show how shallow your corporate shit holes are...

[paulr33]

at telstra we don't have a set uniform or corporate standard

flexible working

[Birds]

Slacks, dress shoes and a collar are the only prerequisite at mine

Can have whatever facial hair etc. polo tops etc.

yes but you have to work for telstra...could be worst...teletech...

our office is collar and no ripped/offensive clothes.

but when customer facing need to dress well,

that said after getting suits tailored properly, they much more comfortable than anything except tracky pants

[dezz]

Any of the old timers remember that emo casey faggit?

Looks like our paths will cross once again in the motorbike world

[dezz]

Buff out?

[emts]

The way you present yourself is an extension of your personality.

Chefs are a great example. You never see a scummy motherf**ker working in a fine dining kitchen putting up good food, and you never see a kempt ass motherf**ker working in a shithole on lygon st.

I base part of my hiring on appearance and always will.

If you can't be f**ked dressing well I don't want you in my office/kitchen/wherever representing me

[dezz]

I didn't say anything about dressing like a homeless kunt, but if the fact you don't wear/can't afford a $3000 suit means you don't get a promotion over the sexy Ric looking mother f**ker at your work, who isn't as good at your job as you are, then your corporate world can smoke me.

And the dude from the car was apparently, surprisingly, not injured. (accoring to his mate I spoke to)

I'd say he'll be very sore for a while at the very least though
