Dress code next time. Please.

After watching the Armor 2.0 stream and seeing a Bungie figure dressed like they just woke up was unappealing to say the least. One of the only good things about Activi$ion was that they always had a professional and refined appearance. While it’s okay to be casual in a work place such as a game development company it is most definitely not appropriate to appear that way to the consumer. I’m not friends with the dev team and I’m not watching a Sunday night game with them either. I’m a consumer. Part of being a consumer is having a safe knowledge that the creator of my consumption cares about the product. So tell me how could the team care about the product if they don’t care to wear shoes? Please have a common decency dress code next time. Edit- no this is not about gender. No I don’t want to see formal wear. My intended point was I would’ve liked to see something above minimal effort. While I respect the work that the dev team does that appreciation does not transfer over to being happy with seeing pure disregard for respecting each other’s time. I understand that tech culture is dominated by people who don’t care about the newest fashion trend but professional presentation is still important. Had everybody on the stream been dressed casually I would’ve seen no problem. In the past the dev members have been dressed casual and that’s fine. Something above nothing is all those of us with a problem are requesting. On a side note the sexism and the idea of “being a snowflake” both have no place here. This isn’t meant to be a hate mob. This is just feedback so Bungie knows that the consumers expect to see a level of professionalism above none. Edit 2- yes. There are more pressing matters with the actual game. However the problems with the game do not override the problems with presentation. There is room for both discussions to occurs. Hopefully somebody has relayed that below causal wear is not the appropriate wear for a live appearance.

    I would say the level of professionalism she displayed is equal to the level of professionalism Bungie puts into this game to be honest. This is why I will continue to play whatever they offer for free because giving them more money to waste doesn't seem smart at this point.

    • It’s all about professionalism. If you look like a hot mess I’m not going to listen to a word you say. Unless it’s my wife and she’s sick..... that’s the only time it’s ok.

      • I agree, the whole rolled out of bed look doesn’t work for anyone no matter gender or size. There’s a way to look casual and this wasn’t it, if that’s how you walk into Bungie and do your job and the dress code is fine with it then more power to you, but you’re presenting on camera to the public. I would think you would want to have some kind of professionalism with yourself. This wasn’t a slumber party. Jeans and a hoodie (and shoes) would have actually been fine, but homegirl look like she’s been farting the day away in her pjs.

      • Yeah, the woman in the livestream looked like she smelled like stale Cheetos and beer farts. Casual is one thing, she took it too far.

      • Oh. My. God. I just watched the stream for this. How utterly unprofessional and just gross. Wtf with those feet on the table? Does she know this reflects on the company? Wow, if I was her boss I’d have a word with her. You can’t take these people seriously.

      • Yeah, I agree whole heartedly. When presenting yourself to your audience, the image is very important, and wearing no shoes and pajamas like some 16 year old emo girl isn’t really going to go a far way in terms of your audience going “wow, these people really care” if you start slacking in one place, it spreads.

      • So..I had not watched the stream yet. Saw this post, and went ahead and pulled it up. Saw her first thing, dressed down, and no shoes. I can understand dressing down for comfort while doing your job, if it’s permitted, but when you’re discussing and presenting what you have been working on...I personally feel PJs and no shoes is definitely not okay.

        • This is the first time we are seeing the new Sandbox lead since Wiesnewski and Hamrick left the studio. I actually had to google her and make sure she wasn’t some Seattle hobo. First impressions mean a lot and go a long way. Baaaad first impression. On another note I went to work today in my pjs and unwashed old socks. It was weird especially the part when I had to make a presentation in front of a bunch of customers and prospective customers, everyone was looking at me funny I dunno why ?

        • I do agree the lady did not show the respect to the audience who are viewing. Two points I think of. 1) The lady will get what she deserve in life. No respect to others, she will receive none later on. 2) Imagine it's a man did that kind of behavior surrounded by women in the same presentation....the guy won't stand a chance.

          • I don’t really care what their internal dress code is but that was a bit cringy. Have a little respect for yourself and the viewers.

            • I can accept the pyjamas if the company is ok with it, even though I don't like it... BUT - Feets on the table???!!! What normal beeing put your feet where you put things to drink/eat??? (I get it if people do it in their own home if they don't care...) But in front of wiewers??? As a represent of a company!!! No, no and no. Not nice at all. It's offensive.

              • After hearing Ms. Or Mrs. Brown speaking about how lazy she is and wants to be and her in pajamas. My first thought was she was one of the reasons Bungie had to do a delay. In a business world where you are trying to promote your product, first impressions are lasting impressions.

                Bungie did say their work hours were crazy, maybe they sleep in their office because they work so damn much? I don’t care what they wear, as long as they do what they can to make the game the best it can be. They should also take a vacation, I know what its like to work an insane amount of hours

                  • And Luke Smith said they ‘worked hard.’ Bullllllshiiit. They drink beer at work, take a month off for Christmas like school children, half-ass/re-skin/recycle content, take paid maternity leaves, ret-con D1 story, show up to streams/work in pajamas, put their dirty feet up on the table unprofessionally and disrespectfully, throttle XP, block polite and legitimate criticism, type wrong descriptions of in-game items, etc. And of course, the Bungie fanboys are in full force blindly defending yet another deplorable act by their precious little multi-million dollar company , pulling the sexism card like the journalists and society programmed them to do, because apparently, women are above being criticized for appearing and presenting a huge company unprofessionally during a worldwide livestream. It doesn’t matter if they wear their bedroom clothes, put their feet on the table and wear no shoes. Fu** off. Whenever you’re in a public setting, especially under a professional environment, whether you are praised or critiqued is entirely fair game. Honestly, it’s the management’s fault in the end; hiring based on gender rather than merits leads to poor image, poor products and poor sales. Bungie will learn this the hard way as they continue to fall from Grace.

                    • Exactly ,nobody SANE trying to be rude here ,i liked previous streams being little corkey (im not sure i spelled right) but this one give me impression of giving big middle finger in first plan. I dont want to generalize it here but imho most gamers have awkward personalities ( i know i have ;) but adding "features" like feets on the table and pj dosnt blend good with product you want to promote, we know its form gamers to gamers but somethings needs to be kept under "the table" if i may say so.

                    • This whole thread is hilarious. Made my night. Lots of feed back from both sides. It would be awesome if somehow this leads to a meeting at Bungie in a few days were everyone is told they need to start adhering to a more professional dress code while at work. It won't happen but it would be funny. All the melenial SJWs that work there would have a melt down and start bringing in their support animals to cope with having to dress appropriately.
