Been hearing whispers of an increased focus on dress code. Then a subtle link to the appearance policy in an email this morning. Curious how much more this sadistic hr department can tighten the sc--ws.

Then go to a bar!
Dress codes are d-mb. This job is d-mb. I just work here cause I need a paycheck until I get a new job where they actually trust the work force and value good work over corporate a&$ kissing BS and I can leave. If you are going to micromanage and treat people like trash don’t expect people to try. The only folks who still want to try and care here are broken and have no soul left. We are all sheep in a rich persons chess game. Do as little as possible.
I, personally, don't mind if the women show cleavage...
@OP Pajama pants will be allowed in new Warwick office
The problem is folks showing up to work in ratty graphic t-shirts, cut off shorts, mud/dirt covered sneakers, and “club wear”.
The regular policy prohibits all of this and all that is going on right now is reinforcing of the policy. Just like the connect week policy, this is the reminding phase, is if folks continue to ignore the policy it will get cracked down on and will impact pay and employment.
You should dress for success! Remember that in Financial Services you are trying to build lasting relationships with your internal partners, clients and co-workers, so you should dress appropriately. Women- avoid showing cleavage. Men- avoid wearing see through shirts or low cut shirts showing your chest hair. Honestly, this is common sense. This is a job you are going to and not a nightclub.
we get these hideous t shirts in tech. I will wear those to the office, but no where else in public. too bad they give us ugly car wash donations and not acceptable polos or anything dress code compliant.
@OP For years, when I was still in the office, I was a long proponent of casual attire in the workplace (jeans and sneakers if you wanted).
Then, over time, I saw a lot of my colleagues abusing the privilege with absolutely terrible choices for the work environment. I think workers have taken things too far.
In this day and age of people 25 and under walking around outside in their pajama bottoms... ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE... I see nothing wrong with injecting some style back into our culture.
I am not necessarily advocating shirts, ties, wingtips, etc. However, what we know as 'business casual' today seems like a good compromise. I'm completely in favor of it.
I shake my head in disgust to see how far we've fallen as a society. It's a sad, sad state of affairs. That's all I can say.
The men should wear skirts as a protest. Don’t shave your legs. They can’t say anything if you adjust your pronouns etc. I’m going to dye my hair hot pink in solidarity
I think I know the person. She could pick up a cat with her toes.
Yes, please, bring back a sensible shoes policy.
@b7 just shut up and answer the phone when it rings.
Imma head out this weekend to stock up on beanies, basketball shorts, sandals, sweats, hoodies, graphic print t-shirts. Maybe even some Jorts if I'm feeling inspired. I've got real beat up sneakers I'll use to tie everything together.
I hope it doesn't cause any trauma to all you sensitive souls out there
Will the dress code be directed at people who show up with highlighter colored pink and blue hair
What’s the point of a dress code? The bathrooms get all full once we do RTO, then we 💩 our pants and can’t even use what we dress in. Smh.
Hey bootlicker. If I'm so desperately needed in the office, they will have to take me as I come. And be thankful that I'm in at all.
Gee, this was zero issue with WFH. So one of downsides of mandating us back is that some have so little to do, that they need to take offense at what others choose to wear.
I can see a real easy solution...too bad that our brilliant leadership can't seem to clue in. Till then, find a way to live with it.
Bye bye 😘
@b0 If people can’t put on their big boy/girl pants to go to their big boy/girl jobs, they should try McDonald’s. Hope this helps!
That's nice for you. Please come to realize that other people view things differently and may have conflicting priorities. A simplistic one-size-fits-all approach isn't optimal.
Just a part of growing up and seeing the world, outside your boundaries. You will get there!
The firm treats us like children therefore I’ll keep dressing as such. If they want us to dress like adults then treat us like adults.
Most of everyone here is quite literally missing the entire point. Would you show up to a date dressed like a scrub? We are human and judge via appearance. The same ones that are complaining about no opportunities or no advancement are the ones dressing like slobs every single day. Look good feel good. Trust me, I don’t want to be in that he-l hole either but I don’t let my appearance reflect that.
avert your gaze if it's such a severe issue for you.
oh my gawd! are you ok after all that?
Yes. Bring back a business professional dress code.
It gets really old seeing Smita's talon like toes because she wants to wear sandals or flip flops to work.
The amount of people I have seen in sweatpants and hoodies is unbelievable. No one wants to be in the office, but that doesn’t give you the excuse to dress like a slob.
Honestly, this needs to be brought to everyone’s attention. It’s not hard to look presentable. I understand being forced to be there and the desire for slight rebellion however I saw someone in a beanie and basketball shorts yesterday.
