Mmmm. I don't think I am going to try to lead a revolution here. The manager
who did this isn't the type to change his mind, even if he is wrong. (And he
is!)
I did consider myself lucky that I don't work much over 44 or so hours a
week but I don't meet with customers, except for one guy and he dresses
casually too. I spend most of my time coding or doing SA stuff and I don't
know why it matters what I wear. I'm always clean (!) and neat. I even iron
my nice sweaters and expensive tees that I wear....
Phooey. I was hoping to last here at least until the end of this contract so
I could get more cf experience. Oh well.
Maybe it is time to move. Or change careers again. Or move and change
careers. Maybe I could have a stand selling sunglasses.

A dress code for IT workers? Why?
*sits in a jeans and a jersey at work*
They tried to do that here too a while back.
I believe we said something to the effect, that if we are forced to wear
shirts and ties, we'll work 8 to 4 just like
'normal' workers.
Oh..and all that extra time we spend logging to our machines over the
weekend to finish or sometimes start jobs and stuff?
Nope.
Oh and when we're sick and you want something done for a client, and ask us
to do it from home. Nope.
Oh and working overtime without compensation and doing whatever it takes
even things totally outside our job description to
get the job done for a client? Nope.
Oh..and spending time on R&D for things such as 3D Modelling, Integrating
Flash Animations with 3D Art and E-Commerce etc.
that no one asks us to do but helps to add that little ooomph to make the
sale to clients? Nope.
We'll be just like normal workers, who would laugh themselves silly if asked
to do any of those things without getting paid a
lot extra.
We're still in jeans and jerseys today, though we each have a shirt and a
tie handy if we ever have to meet an 'important'
client. (So far the important clients haven't batted an eyelid when we go
with a manager to a meeting in jeans and jerseys to
lend some technical know how to a sales pitch.)
Oh and shades...don't forget the shades..

p.s. if you try this and get fired don't blame me.

Says us: "A dress code. He's implementing a dress code?!"
I must find a new job. I can't take it any longer....
Need muffins to throw at management. Or, alternatively, to suffocate myself
with. Why couldn't I have been one of the lucky layoffees?
Now I have to go buy some "appropriate attire" this weekend instead of going
to the beach.
