I can understand an employer having certain rules about how well you have to dress, such as not allowing shorts and jeans or mid drift shirts and sleeveless tank tops. That is their right, however I do think this bullshit of making a staff dress so professionally when they don't deal face to face with the customers is stupid but of course still their right. If you don't like it you can find a job elsewhere.

 

I worked in a call center for years, as in a place where no patients every clapped eyes on us. The dress code was just a way of the director announcing her presence with authority. It was not company wide, only in her department was it so strict. Of course I did it while I was there and have not dressed like that since. My next job allowed jeans on Friday and all week I was welcome to wear scrubs, that was so fuckin nice. Buying alot of fancy clothes for work can be expensive, things I would never wear outside of work.

 

HOWEVER, I don't think its right for someone to make a sexest statement that a woman should have to wear a dress to work and not be allowed to wear pants unless the day has been declared casual. If pants or trousers are good enough for the men they why is this not good enough for the women as well?

 

What say you?

[RoyalOrleans]

What say you?

 

What say me? I say alot of bullshit.

 

On this matter, I have to say that dress codes at work are essential to maintaining the company's values and perception in the eyes of their customers, their competitors,and the public.

 

Hence the Brown Suit I slide on every single day. UPS does not supply skirts in brown for the deliverywomen. Thus, I have to believe that a woman can wear the same outfit as a man.

I have been at jobs that tell you men MUST wear a suit... and likewise, if they were to say women must wear dresses, I wouldn't see a problem with that... That's equality... be careful what you wish for, it just may come true!

How is it equality that a woman has to wear a dress, when a man can wear a suit? Their not the same thing. Woman can in this culture wear suits with pants, why is this not satisfactory? If we're talking about true equality then women should be able to wear a suit with pants. Requiring a woman to wear a dress is in and of itself sexest. I have no issue with women being required to dress nicely for work just like men, that of course is only fair.

Even nurses aren't required to wear nursing uniforms with dresses. As RO has stated UPS doesn't require it, I can see the Postal Service doesn't require it.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Well, I'm for all men dressed in company provided Armani suits, older ladies in either nice dresses or pantsuits, and all young beautiful women in the office should wear their company provided French Maids uniforms complete with fishnet stockings with those hot little suspenders, garter belts, and the lacy accouterments.

 

Hey, if your going to mandate clothing, at least mandate something worth looking at, right?

And if a man comes to work in a skirt? Where does the company stand on that; If its "No no" then the discrimination is both ways, or depending how your outlook, none existant. If you believe in gender specification then theres no problem, but don't be so arrogent as to think gender roles in society limit only women.

[Komrade Vostok Hazard]

Maybe they should can the whole issue and require that employees show up naked....

Just for the record, I love men in skirts...

I would LOVE to work at a company where men came to work in a kilt or whatever else they want to call them.

We have already had a thread about tradtional dress such as men in skirts started by a Somali guy.

[eisanbt]

My point wasn't about gender appropiate dress in such a way, it was that were a man to come into your work in a dress (As is required/accepted for female workers) He would probably be more scoulded then a female counterpart who shows up in a pants. In this way, the gender bias is not female limited.

My Grandfather, (my mother's dad), was from Italy. I have several hundred photographs of him from his youth at about 20 until his death at 80. My friends like to look at all of them as well. My favorite part of showing them to people, is waiting for them to realize that he was always in a suit. Always. Every single picture he's in a suit. Usually with a hat.

 

Imagine that.

 

Yeah, I want to work at that company too!

heh, I've seen this pic b4 on a UK topical quiz show called 'Have I got News for You'. Look at the fuckers face, he knew what he was doing.

 

There's an English stand-up called Alan Davidson who tells a story (apparently true) about a friend of his who worked at a factory which was due for a visit by the queen.

 

When the queen goes on a visit of this kind, it is a requirement that a bathroom is set aside for Her Majesty's use only.

 

It seems that Davidson's mate was in charge of maintainenance for this toilet, and after she left, he went in to clean it, and found a pube on the seat, which he put in a matchbox and kept as a souvenir.

My dress code for the women would be white panties, a shirt just long enough to cover while standing and white socks.
