so why would somebody employ you in the first place?

I'm really feeling sorry for the ugly people now

Like I said, if we can get the job without a face to face interview, it's too late for the boss.
Looks don't matter so much with so many IT and computer related jobs however.

WHY ARE WE DRESSED up? because them are the rules
and down here its normal (as in most professional buisness offices)


AND THE WHOLE OFFICE DOES IT ,,SO THESE FEW PEOPLE SHOULD ALSO

Ah HA... the 'lemming' argument good one!

You're going around in circles without answering any of my questions. WHY should it be necessary? Because it's the rules? That's not an answer! Because everyone else does? That's not an answer either

why is it necessary? because it is a requirement for the company i work for, and they are paying me a good buck to show up in their "evil wardrobes" to preform my job.

if it's not your cup of tea, find a job more suiting (pun!) for yourself and move on with your life.

lalalalaaaaaaaa

funniest debate thread I've seen in a while outside of moving train...no joke.

but why isn't it ok? and why does it bother you so much what other people wear to work I'd really like answers to these... but you can keep avoiding it.

I hope you're not spending too much time thinking about it when you should be doing your work :cool:

I did I'm just trying to understand the rest of you is all. I've said I understand the hotel thing... but I don't understand a lot of other companies.

well if i am just sitting in my office, doing computer work... yeah, i would love to be in jeans, but that is just not realistic for my company.

i once read an article, that explained the reasoning behind this. alot of companies didn't want their associates who sit at a computer all day (with no guest/client interaction) in casual attire (jeans and a shirt) because they feel the associate is going to become too comfortable, relaxed and mellowed out and not be as productive as someone who has to sit at a desk all day in an uncomfortable suit.

eh, made me chuckle.

so it bothers you when people look like bums? ahhhhh, dear! See it's the norm here because there's no POINT dressing up cos you WILL get dirty. That makes perfect common sense... what doesn't make sense is why everyone dresses up in the professional world.

Bums don't ask me for handouts because they think I'm one of them.

lol, that IS funny! I've worked in hotels before and did the dressing up thing... and yes, I have to say I FELT more professional cos I LOOKED more professional... but unfortunately I WASN'T more professional . I was just lazy with a professional attitude
