Google’s Privacy Chief Backs T-Shirts, Not Ties
Google Inc.’s global privacy counsel, Peter Fleischer, wants to see t-shirts replace the tie as standard business attire, saying the tie
1. “constricts circulation to the brain”;
2. “acts as decorative camouflage for the business suit, designed to shield the middle-aged male physique, with its shrinking shoulders and protruding paunch, from feeling sufficiently self-conscious to hit the gym”.
“Wouldn’t you like to know whether your business partners are fit? Why should you trust a man in business if he abuses his own body?”
In addition, he said casual attire may also result in greater creativity.
“If your fashion editor can hardly imagine a better garment for men to exhibit their personality, power and masculinity than wearing ties, well … I work at Google. Our unofficial motto is, ‘Be serious without a suit’”
Background:
Google, like many other technology companies, allows employees to dress casually for work.
However, several of Google’s senior managers are shown wearing ties in their official photographs.
// Introduction In Chinese ——
Google 的首席隐私律师建议，应将 T恤 取代 领带装（正装，定为商业人士的标准着装。
他为我们列举了“领带”的两宗罪：
1、束缚了大脑的血液循环；
2、掩饰了中年男性下垂的双肩和隆起的腹部，使得他们忘了自己早该到健身房去锻炼锻炼了。
同时，Peter还认为，休闲的着装更有利于提高员工们的创造力。
背景：
象跟多IT公司一样，谷歌允许员工穿休闲服上班。
不过，一些谷歌高管平时仍然穿得一丝不苟。
谷歌 CEO 施密特（中）平时也是衣冠楚楚，而两位创始人（左前，右前）则代表了谷歌的休闲文化
