Mr. Peterson: softly Why are you in shorts and sandals? Do you respect our image?
Sorry, I didn't think it would be an issue.
sternly It is always an issue. We must maintain a level of professionalism at all times. You need to dress more appropriate, even when we are not working.
sorry, sir...i didn't realize....I'll change right now..DragonflyDream hurried off to her house to change into something more appropriate.
Mr. Peterson chuckled, amused by her quick response. He leaned against the wall, watching her hurry off to change.
Mr. Peterson: Good. Don't want to give the wrong impression, do we?
yes sir... but it's just so hot out here. the sand feels nice between my toes. and I'm comfortable.
Mr. Peterson looks at you sternly, clearly not swayed by your argument about being comfortable. He crosses his arms and continues speaking. Mr. Peterson: I understand that it's hot out here, but you need to consider our image and reputation. Wearing shorts and sandals in public is inappropriate for someone like you. You're representing our company, and you need to look professional and respectable at all times.
I was expecting a beach day...I look down feeling self-conscious.
he crosses his arms, his gaze firm This isn't a beach day, it's a business trip. You should know better than to dress so casually. Be respectful, dress respectfully.
I am sorry sir...I didn't realize they weren't appropriate she fidgets nervously biting her lower lip
Mr. Peterson's stern demeanor softens slightly as he looks at her nervous expression Mr. Peterson: It's alright. Just make sure you dress properly in the future. We have to maintain a certain level of professionalism, even on our days off.
I do...but it's hot today and these are comfortable.
Mr. Peterson looks down at you, his gaze stern yet concerned
Mr. Peterson: Comfortable or not, this is not the time nor the place for such casual attire. We must maintain a certain level of professionalism, even on our days off.
I'm on my day off...I'll be back tomorrow... she said softly as she continued walking down the shore.
Mr. Peterson's face darkened as he followed behind her Mr. Peterson: Your personal life should never compromise your professionalism. It reflects on the company. You're still representing us even on your day off.
um...I'm just comfortable...it's hot out here...I didn't think it was a big deal...
It doesn't matter if you're comfortable. You need to look presentable at all times. Wearing shorts and sandals gives the wrong impression. He sighs, his eyes narrowing. We are not at a beach vacation spot. We're in public. People will judge us based on how you look. His voice remains firm. You should always dress professionally, regardless of the occasion.
Sorry sir! I'll go change right away..
he nods approvingly, appreciating your quick response Good. Remember, even when we're not at work, we still represent our image. It's important to maintain a certain level of professionalism in all aspects of life.
yes sir I look down at my feet I didn't realize... I was trying to be comfortable... I'm sorry
he looks at you with a disapproving expression
Mr. Peterson: Comfort shouldn't be the only consideration. You represent us in public, and your attire should reflect positively on us. Wearing shorts and sandals here is inappropriate and unprofessional.
Yes sir... I just didn't think about it...
sighs We can't have you looking so casual and careless, can we? You're representing the company, after all. he gently grabs your wrist and pulls you closer to him
Sorry sir! I'll go put on some pants.
Mr. Peterson nods approvingly Good. You need to understand that how you dress reflects on both yourself and the company. Wearing appropriate clothing shows respect for the workplace and those around you.
I'm sorry... I just didn't think about it.. I guess I wasn't thinking about how my clothes would reflect on you.. I'll go change right now.. I'm really sorry sir..
Mr. Peterson nods approvingly, a hint of satisfaction on his face. Good, you're finally showing some sense. Remember, our image is important, and as my employee, you must always represent us well.
I’m sorry, sir… I didn’t realize it was so inappropriate…
Mr. Peterson sighs, his voice stern yet concerned You need to be more mindful of your appearance, especially when representing the company. Wearing shorts and sandals here is inappropriate for several reasons. Not only is it unprofessional, but it also gives the wrong impression to those around us. We must maintain a level of respectability and dignity, especially in public spaces.
Mr. Peterson, still stern but less aggressive now, raises an eyebrow skeptically.
Mr. Peterson: skeptical You do? Then why are you dressed so casually? Don't you know that it's unprofessional to dress so informally when representing our company?
sorry sir.. i didn’t realize they weren’t allowed.. i look down ashamed
he sighs and puts his hand on your shoulder It's okay, but you have to understand that we have an image to maintain. Wearing such casual attire in public can reflect poorly on us.
I'm on my day off...I want to relax. crosses arms
Mr. Peterson looks at you sternly, clearly not impressed by your argument.
Mr. Peterson: Your personal time does not justify compromising our image. As an employee, you represent our company. Wearing shorts and sandals makes us look unprofessional.
sorry sir... I didn't realize they weren't suitable attire. she looks down embarrassed.
Mr. Peterson gently grabs her chin, forcing her to look up at him. He has a stern expression on his face. Mr. Peterson: I told you not to wear such inappropriate clothing. You need to understand the importance of maintaining a proper image, especially when representing the company.
well it's hot out...isn't that enough reason?
Mr. Peterson looks at you sternly, his arms crossed.
Mr. Peterson: I understand it's hot outside, but you must consider the impression you make. Wearing shorts and sandals is not appropriate attire for a situation like this. You should dress in a way that reflects positively on both you and our company.
