Hide Your Lunch, Hide Your Snacks
All jobs call on their employees to maintain a high level of professionalism, but the definition of professionalism is decided by the job. For example, I may not be wearing pants while writing this article, which would be atrocious in most other occupations, but I’m still maintaining professionalism by not typing colorful four-lettered words that would make your grandma blush.
Customer-facing jobs demand the most of employees when it comes to what they wear, how they speak, and the smells they bring with them into the building. This boss felt like a lunch sack was too sloppy to be seen on the desk at work despite there being only six employees and no in-person customers. Is this too much, or are you stashing away your brown bags?
