I went from a job being able to wear what you like, to a job where it’s apparently ‘expected’ you wear a suit in the office.
My team is non client facing, the only people they see, are each other.
I hate it. It’s an utterly ridiculous policy. Everyone complains, and 75% of people can’t buy a suit in the right size, tie a tie properly, iron a shirt properly or even get it cleaned on a regular basis.
I’ve already broached the subject of turning us casual and been told the age old b*llocks “casual clothes, casual mind” 🙄
Yet apparently we have dress down Fridays. So it’s ok to have a casual work ethic for 20% of the working week…
I’ve already told them to stop wearing ties, been hauled up over that one. Ironically, then complimented about the positive attitude it’s created.
Utterly pointless bit of clothing for most jobs.
