Hence, dress codes. Employees who dress lazily, sloppy, or barely (!) can seriously hinder a company's progress/profit. And most likely the employee (or employer) doesn't even KNOW that they have hindered the progress of the company. But customers make an impression of a company by their first impressions. So dress codes are not anything "personal", but merely a tool to insure that a professional attitude/persona is put forth of a company.<BR/><BR/>So yes, people run the risk of having even stricter dress codes enforced if the ones already set in place are not followed. The company is looking to protect their profits. A loosely dressed woman or man may affect the profit. Unless you're in a business which prefers you be loosely dressed! ;-)Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802559471478481194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13898027.post-1121293272523487182005-07-13T17:21:00.000-05:002005-07-13T17:21:00.000-05:00I agree too.

We're not allowed to wear jeans...the guys are so guilty of trying to get away with jeans. And the low-cut tops are too much. There's a teacher in the building who wears mini skirts and low-cut tops....together. If that isn't a reason to call someone in the office to speak about dress attire, I don't know what is. May I also mention that the person in question is a 4th grade teacher. You've got boys and hormones being mixed there. Not a good idea. Same thing in an office. No one wants to see that thong...no one wants to know about that tattoo you just got next to your boob or on your butt, really.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13898027.post-1121143987554933312005-07-11T23:53:00.000-05:002005-07-11T23:53:00.000-05:00exactly! i would love to come to work in casual c...exactly! i would love to come to work in casual clothes every day; simple jeans, a favorite tshirt, and shoes that are comfortable, heh. <BR/><BR/>as it is we're lucky to get business casual mon-thur, and jeans fridays. =P i certainly don't want to lose few perks, heh.PBnJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219496143792767847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13898027.post-1121138607851724302005-07-11T22:23:00.000-05:002005-07-11T22:23:00.000-05:00I actually hate dress codes.

It ruins it for everyone!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
