Only if writer agrees to wash my clothes at their place.
No one even dresses up at my office job even for the Skype video call management meetings.

I've worked from home for almost a decade at this point and getting dressed, even if it's just throwing on jeans and a T-shirt, helps me concentrate and get in a writing frame of mind. Other writers I knew would always get weirdly defensive about me doing it.
I just don't like the feeling of baggy clothing.
The guy writing that article is a total dick though. Who gives a shit what people wear at home?

That's all I could focus on. How much time is he wasting doing all that laundry and cleaning those floors?
And with what cleaning products?
Yeah, I saw that earlier today. It's crazy how he made himself go from relatively unknown to one of the most hated people on the internet. Talk about an article backfire.
You shouldn't have to be told not to wear cargo shorts.
No, ERA, "GameStop Chic" is not acceptable adult wear.

I was wearing a tank top during our last WebEx. Fuck it. I can't even get a haircut or a new foil for my electric razor right now. The hell I'm going to iron a Polo shirt and some khakis for a 20 minute meeting.
I don't own any currently but I may buy some cargo shorts just because it bothers you. I'll pair it with a wife beater.
Oh for christ's sakes, fuck off.
One of the things that this quarantine+contingency has taught me, is that being furloughed + having low but enough money to buy food and pay for services and facing the possibility of my loved ones dying, it's making me less anxious and nervous than the four years I have been at my office. I don't know if I'm going back to work, but I'm sure as hell not gonna feel sad if I get kicked out and get a lower paying job, anything but there.
I think I found the balance of "I need just this to have a comfortable way of living", and certainly draining myself in a fucking office isn't the way for me and I'm finding a way to freelance and be my own boss. Go fuck yourself with the "be an adult and dress like one". Of course, I'm grateful to have a lot of safety nets that a lot of people don't have, but I just can't stress enough how happy I am for not being in that fucking job right now.

You're right L.A. Times, I am an adult and as such I will dress however the hell I want when I am working from home where no one sees me. I will dress appropriately as the situation calls for it.
Waking up, eating breakfast and moving to my couch to work on my computer and make phone calls is not a situation that calls for me to wear a dress shirt, slacks and dress shoes, unless video confrencing with my employees or partners.
(I also run my company from my home half of the time anyway so shelter at home orders haven't changed my schedule too much but, I digress)

I'm gonna guess that the author doesn't have kids, or if he does, he has someone dedicated to caring for them while he works.
My wife and I both work full time and we have two kids under the age of four. We spend our entire day passing kids back and forth so we can make time to do our jobs. Don't tell me what you think I have time to do.

Pretty much. People need to quit giving this stuff clicks or any attention. Its what its designed to do.
"Acceptable adult wear" when the audience for this stupid article are people staying home and only seeing people through hard to see Zoom or Teams chat windows. I think I'll wear whatever and people like Adam can F right off while thinking that dressing well is somehow important during a pandemic that has claimed over 150k lives.
Dude looks like he walked straight out of Animal Crossing.The guy who wrote this:
What's the one meme about "the internet killed journalism so now we have to pump out shitty emotion triggering headlines to get your clicks"? Cause it sure seems to apply here
People out here dying, and this dude crying about wearing house clothes in the middle of a pandemic when people are effectively unable to leave their homes except to shop.
