To be fair with super man I'd imagine at least one of his coworkers would think man Clark looks a lot like super man with glasses
I've definitely seen a page from an issue where one of his coworkers says something like "Hey, you guys ever think Clark kinda looks like that Superman?" and they all bust out laughing before another one says "Imagine Clark saving anyone!"
But Clark looks like Superman as a schlub. One excuse for nobody noticing is that he slouches, speaks in a higher register, and walks around like he's worried about bumping into things. Clark Kent is kind of a big awkward guy with a strong jawline and bad eyes. Superman is what he might look like if he got in shape.
The other leading excuse is that nobody thinks Superman needs a secret identity. He's an invincible solar-powered alien who can fly. The fuck is he gonna do, walking amongst the rabble? Batman is unmistakably just A Dude, so he's gotta have a day job and a bed somewhere. Superman is a demigod. He doesn't even need to cosplay to see new movies. He can sit on the roof and use his ill-defined x-ray vision. Even gets to bring his own snacks.
