Slightly different reason but if you are on the younger side it's not always best show up to work with something north of $10K on your wrist, tough to project that young and hungry vibe. Totally unfair to him and slightly different example, but we had a new guy start and his car was in the shop so he came his first day in his mother's V12 SL Benz, he didn't make it to lunch before everyone assumed he was a lazy rich kid.
