Mandatory Dress Codes
Are stupid. They serve no true purpose unless they relate to the image that the company is trying to establish for clients. Employees who do not interact in an area where clients can see them should be allowed to wear essentially anything they'd like. I don't know why companies are so absurd regarding jeans. I wear them everyday anyway and tell them to eat turd. And I just won a free trip to Disney World for being awesome.

Re: Mandatory Dress Codes
I agree I don't see the point of uniforms for employees who don't have to work for customers/clients.
Re: Mandatory Dress Codes
I don't just mean uniforms, I also mean t-shirts and jeans. Why do we have to wear khakis and not jeans? It made sense in Catholic school, where they were trying to save parents money and keep kids from focusing on vanity, but we are adults now. If I had my way, everyone would wear a t-shirt and jeans to everything.Originally Posted by Tuuvi

Re: Mandatory Dress Codes
About half our office wear sandals in summer... I wear (skinny) jeans everyday... Only when meeting with customers does anyone wear formal attire. So yes, I agree.

Re: Mandatory Dress Codes
Kinda funny, there is a bit of a riot here about dresscode here as teh queen wore a headscarve when entering a mosque in Oman. I'm still undicided on what to think of it, leaning towards just paying respect, I absolutely despise the very existance of the royal family but here goes
Re: Mandatory Dress Codes
Well, safety can justify a dress code just as much as meeting with customers. Steel-toed boots and hard-hats in a work zone, biohazard suits in a contagious disease lab, or whatnot. But no, I'm not a big fan of formal-wear at work just because.
