| Did my boss just insinuate that I'm unprofessional? So basically I'm the communications director for this guy who is running for a state congress position. The governor came to town today, so we held signs in the town center and then went to the governor's town hall meeting thing afterward. But I wore jeans and a North Face, because when I last held signs that's what I wore and it was fine. However my boss was dressed in a suit jacket and slacks. When he saw how the governor's press people were dressed - business casual - he said to me, "I'm glad you're not dressed like them. Those people, they have a certain look about them. I'm glad you're not all dressed up." Or something like that. I apologized that I hadn't dressed up and he said it was fine. However, I think he was thinly suggesting to me that next time I should get dressed up. Should I do that even if we're just holding signs outside and it's not a big event? Also, did my boss call me unprofessional in a roundabout way? I'm just out of my first year of college, and this is my first job that I've had outside of food service. What are the basic unwritten rules of jobs like these that no one tells you? |
