Pip: No not that kind of shoe. I am pretty open to wearing what you want at work if it fits the office culture and company

standards.

But this had a clear acrylic base thatr was like 1-2" tall and one of those at least 6" ice pick like heels was just soooo wrong.

Now on a stage with lights and a good beat those shoes rock.

Have the same "really" feeling about skirts that are too short, tops cut to low, ball caps in the office, flip flops, and inappropriate t-shirts.

Its a JOB/Career people and if you dont have enough respect to respeect the job the leadership wont respect you :)

Does she have any customer interaction? - JaxSean Jul 18, 09:42 35
- Company code of conduct and dress code, so I would say the leadership cares. We do have random customer appearance here. -- nm - Capstern Jul 18, 09:45 33
  - I hate that kind of old school crap. - JaxSean Jul 18, 09:49 31
    - I think it matters. Shows respect for the job and the company. Admittedly its pretty loose here but no tank tops, flip flops, and - Capstern Jul 18, 09:53 5
      - no giving dudes woodies in the workplace! -- nm - kare Jul 18, 09:54 4
        
        And I so want to strange people who wear hoodies to work, in a professional work place :) -- nm - Capstern Jul 18, 09:55 3
        
        those self serving, stuck up, obnoxious a-holes -- nm - Bill Belichick Jul 18, 09:58
        
        okay, now that's just going TOO FAR mister - kare Jul 18, 09:58 1
        
        Again I am just amused what people will do. Its a struggle for me to not wear slacks and dress shirt but since the CEO - Capstern Jul 18, 10:04
    - kid you not, even we have a dress code no no. No tank tops. -- nm - CQ Jul 18, 09:50
    - There's a line at some point. Should be allowed to wear just a bikini? -- nm - Inigo Jul 18, 09:50 21
      - I think that is the point more than anything. If you dont give people limits and structure they will just - Capstern Jul 18, 09:55 17
        
        meh. For the most part, I disagree with you. It depends on the workplace. - JaxSean Jul 18, 09:59 1
        
        Again this depends on if customers visit your office or not IMO -- nm - Capstern Jul 18, 10:05
        
        who are you, and how did we get back to 1960?! -- nm - kare Jul 18, 09:59
        
        I almost wonder if it is a generational issue - I don't think someone in their 40's would consider not going to an interview dressed up - Epiphany - fat, dumb brunette hen Jul 18, 09:58 5
        
        less generational, and more "young people are dumb". -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 10:00
        
        i wear suits to interviews, and hoodies and jeans at work, yet somehow manage to get promotions and raises and bonuses. weird! - kare Jul 18, 10:00 3
        
        Yes my team in Seattle was way different and Seattle corp culture is well very hippy driven. Here in TX its different, just like Loosie said about DC - Capstern Jul 18, 10:08
        
        context matters a lot. You couldn't pull that off in DC unless you're a techie (and even then...) -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 10:01 1
        
        sure, context matters. but i still manage to be a productive employee, and our companys' self-governed dress codes don't keep us from being - kare Jul 18, 10:11
        
        I disagree. look at us here. we're pretty much self-policing. the rules are understood rather than stated. - the endless summer of smamanda jones Jul 18, 09:57 7
        
        I'm not sure what the issue is here. It's a company policy. Capstern is enforcing it. - Inigo Jul 18, 09:59 6
        
        Oh she doesnt work for me. :) My staff know better. But what I am saying is that - Capstern Jul 18, 10:01
        
        No issue, just that he's defending the idea of it. - JaxSean Jul 18, 10:01 4
        
        There's no need to dress up if no one sees you. -- nm - Amy Jul 18, 10:05
        
        Yes, no need to complain. They're hot. - Inigo Jul 18, 10:04 1
        
        common sense works great until one person wears crazy shit. - loosilu Jul 18, 10:06
        
        I agree with the idea of it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 10:04
      - Sure. - JaxSean Jul 18, 09:53
      - is she hot? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 18, 09:52
      - You? Only if you wax first. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:52
    - presentation matters. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 09:49 1
      - agreed. I can be as misogynistic as any guy at times, but I really dont like women who work for me trying to - Capstern Jul 18, 09:57
  - this means nothing. we have a dress code here and people wear sweats. -- nm - the endless summer of smamanda jones Jul 18, 09:49
- (face-to-face) -- nm - Spawn Jul 18, 09:43
ok, that's a stripper shoe. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 09:39 4
- agreed - that is not fashion, that is making $ on the side - someone needs to check the board room later -- nm - Epiphany - fat, dumb brunette hen Jul 18, 09:44 1
  - (and bring Washingtons) -- nm - Spawn Jul 18, 09:45
- I figure, at least it didnt have goldfish or dollars in them so that was something right? -- nm - Capstern Jul 18, 09:40 1
  - That and no lights? Sounds like she has a little respect, then. -- nm - Spawn Jul 18, 09:41
