Noted, Scott. But in the interest of accuracy, I'm waiting for word the new look is a permanent fixture. At the moment, Corporate features him three different ways (see, above).

  1. Historically, dress-for-success experts said men in leadership jobs, especially in finance, should avoid facial hair because it may make them appear untrustworthy. That's why very few U.S. presidents have worn beards.

  2. I worked for a paper once where they had a dress code: no denim, no beards

  3. That's funny, Jim. I thought that people believed that a person wearing a beard was lazy.

    He's just begging the board to get rid of him.

    "Hey... look at my goofy beard. Fire me! Give me $37 million! I'll go away!"

    Maybe he grew it on furlough and decided to leave it.

    I still can't get over that picture. He must have missed the e-mail that said "tomorrow is picture day... please dress appropriately and make sure that you are cleanly shaven."

  4. Jim, that is a very funny comment. If absolutely no one trusts you, how can you possibly appear less trustworthy by having facial hair?

  5. I grew my beard in response to furlough.

    As a woman, I didn't think I could - but I have to say, it does help me think when I rub my chin.
