Understanding this quote
The speaker exaggerates to suggest that management can place extreme importance on appearance and dress. A tie that does not match a suit is presented as a possible career-threatening mistake, making the standard seem overly strict. The quote therefore points to how formal presentation may be judged as part of professional acceptability.
