do you ever somewhat agree with anyone? Or do you just like being difficult for the sake of it? You're debating what people should wear to work! For the record, you don't have to post in every single thread.

what's that got to do with the topic? If you don't like me put me on ignore. I fail to understand why so many of you apparently can't stand me, yet don't do this It makes no sense... I'll reply to whatever the fuck I want. Anything more ya wanna say take it to pm before I'M accused of hijacking another thread :cool:

but refer to one of my earlier posts... i work in hotels and i am constantly around guests.

and it's not like saying 'dance boy dance.' it's a company setting standards, and if it's within boundaries, i have no problem with that.

OK fair enough in a hotel... I did say in that post that it makes no sense if you're in an office where you meet no clients or customers... never hear of the internal customer and keeping staff happy?

:eek: since when? Jeans look better than anything IMO

If you have a nice body and the jeans fit well and you are not wearing trainers, but nice shoes and a nice fitting top, like a button down shirt or a nice little sweater, then yes, it is acceptable for a Friday. But old faded jeans, trainers and any old top just is slovenly and shows potential clients that you don't give a shit.

I was only asking. But you obviously answered it!

Jeans and a nice shirt. Exactly what I am wearing today. casual Fridays are great. Although if you have a corporate office that meets clients, not so much.

i never said you did make the rules.. i was saying wearing slacks is for octogenarians... the outfit you described earlier made me think of Carlton Banks from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air

You just gave me the visual of NYPJ1 sitting in his slacks and shirt, with his pink sweater draped over his shoulders singing "its not unusual" to his cougar co-worker as they make a 15 million dollar oopsie.

construction is different ,, the attire is dirty jeans and boots
( but that doesnt mean roll out of bed into ur clothes)

that's exactly what it means... seriously you can turn up here looking the worst of the worst and nobody gives a shit cos they probably look just as bad

funny enough, no I'm not bothered... some of us aren't as shallow about appearances

I've never had anyone say anything to me. I don't mean I look homeless... jeans and a top are my general work attire. Which jeans and which top doesn't matter at all once the work gets done.

i don't understand where you get off classifying companies as shallow, because they require their associates to dress presentable, be clean shaven and smelling nice?

sounds like you have a personal tiff against such standards.

nope, I just don't get it. Your employer should really only dictate your work to you... not how you look or anything else.

no need to get nasty on here folks.. lets all have a laugh but no need for petty arguments and stuff

Yea but c'mon, if you work in a place where customers come in often, it's different.

I've said twice if you're meeting clients or customers, fine! If not, I don't see the point at all. I'll say it again just in case:

If you're meeting clients or customers, fine! If not, I don't see the point. Can somebody tell me why it's important to dress smartly for work if your clients or customers can't see ya?

Ok...we get it. YOU don't see the point. No need to tell people they are vain if they like to look nice when they are at work.
Some people like to put care into their appearance.

That's fair enough... but I want to know why they expect everyone else to put the same care and effort in? Some people spend two hours getting ready in the morning, others spend 10 minutes... should there be national guidelines or something?

why 'should' I?

Once I give a shit about getting the job done, shouldn't that be all that matters? What about naturally ugly people? They're kinda fucked in this world of yours aren't they? Should they not be allowed work at all? That's kinda mean.
