DrGravitas Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The 'big news' has come down from The Company: effective immediately, casual Friday is now the dress code for everyday! No more dress pants, I get to wear jeans everyday! No more tie, either (might kinda miss that.) As much as I do enjoy dressing up all fancy and nice, it can get to be a bit if a pain and cost (those pants don't last as long as jeans) so it'll be a nice change of pace. Hrm... my nice winter coat is going to look a bit awkward now... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiro Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Reminds me if where I work. So glad we get to wear jeans on the weekends. You can only wear dress pants for so long before you start dreading the moment when you have to slip em' on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conker Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Going from dress code to no dress code truly is magical. Band tshirts all day every day! I dress like a teenager 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dress like a teenager Hehe, they haven't released the complete details yet but we're betting they're still not allowing T-shirts (even though so many people get away with band T-Shirts on Fridays already.) I'm so confident they won't that allow T-Shirts that I'd put up a bet and if I were wrong, then I'd go to work in that Fur Reality souvenir shirt I have hidden away in the back of my closet It'll be a while until the release the details, though, probably. It took them 3 days to put out this email and in the intermittent time, they still didn't put together the actual code (despite having a formal casual Friday code already specified). I guess they were too busy making up the hype emails :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossa Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 When I saw this, I figured Gravitas had up and joined a nudist colony. Well, that is a nice improvement, though...luckily, we can wear pretty much whatever at the library, which is nice. I'm not good at wearing dress clothes and ties. In fact, I don;t even own a tie or dress pants, or a suit...have not had to go to a wedding or funeral in a while, but I have thought maybe I should get some dressy clothes, for job interviews, and in case somebody dies, or something. I mean, the dead person will not know what I'm wearing, but the others at the funeral would look at me funny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U-235 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Personally I'm a fan of dressing up sort of. I have a weird style. Jean's (tight but not completely skinny), basketball shoes, button down shirt, and a tie with a belt. That's me dressing up for a test. I'd wear that every day if I could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysocyon Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 This reminds of my last office job. It was business casual, but everyone pretty much wore whatever they wanted. One person honestly asked if they could take off their pants while they worked! Good times. I occasionally liked to dress up and wear a tie. I kinda miss that. There's not much of a dress code working at a factory, as long as nothing is a safety hazard they don't care what we look like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrecker Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 What? No flame retardant clothing, reflective stripes, hard hat, safety glasses, steel toed boots or gas monitor? You're goona die! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazerMaster5 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Man, I can't wait until I get a cool job involving welding. Jeans would be almost a requirement, and I would never have to dress up because I would get dirty anyway. Until then, my theater job requires black dress pants and a blue polo with the company logo on it. I guess you could say jeans are the working man's dress pants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopaw Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I hope I end up someplacd that doesn't mandate suits and ties, I can't do a winsor tie knot whatsoever. I'd rather go in a boiler suit or high viz overalls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I'll mail you a track suit if you want one. I have three Adidas suits and I'm retiring one of them from service. You can have it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelwell Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I'd like to just wear good quality jeans and a dress shirt. Something classy but also able to move around in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagged Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 In call centers where I used to work, dress codes truly suck because the customers you interact with won't see you anyway The manager excused the dress code with "The CEO might pay a surprise visit and I want you to look good" The CEO never came during my time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
