I think that is the point more than anything. If you dont give people limits and structure they will just

run all over the place. My expertise is process and procedure and structure. I have always found that people who are willing to wear a suit to intervfiew for even a simple help desk job have generally better employees than ummm less nice dressers.

I think it shows a certain level of self respect and care for your work and your job when you try to look good and I think it reflects in MOST peoples work

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
