Whether you have to wear underwear to work probably comes down to the expectations your workplace has for clothing, Dr Kirstin Ferguson writes.
Each week, Dr Kirstin Ferguson tackles questions on the workplace, career and leadership in her advice column “” This week, a personal question about underwear in the office, and a worker promised an office role is being stymied.
What a great question and I am going to predict that everyone reading this will have a different position depending on their worldview. First, have you ever been told that you have to dress in a particular way? Are there workplace norms in your office that have been made explicit? If not, then I’d argue that you have been treated in a way that lacks any understanding of your intent and the context you are working in.
Your question asks “what is the expectation of clothing choices in 2022”? To that I can only say: it depends. In your particular workplace, it sounds like you had a reasonable expectation to believe you would be accepted for your personal choices. Your disappointment is exacerbated by feeling judged and disrespected for the choice you have made.
