Dress code

Here is the email work sent out about the new dress code. They must think we are the dirtiest most retarded pieces of trash.

Our Company's objective in establishing a dress code is to allow our employees to work comfortably in the workplace. Yet, we still need our employees to project a professional image for our customers, potential employees, and community visitors.

Our dress code is a combination of professional and business casual. Because all casual clothing is not suitable for the office, these guidelines will help you determine what is appropriate to wear to work. Clothing that works well for the beach, yard work, dance clubs, exercise sessions, and sports contests may not be appropriate for a professional appearance at work.

Suits are always appropriate attire. Casual attire may include dress slacks, dress shirt and tie and/or professional sweater. Shorts are only permitted in the warehouse environment and are to be the length of walking shorts. Proper under garments are required at all times.

Clothing that reveals any cleavage, your back, your chest, your stomach or your underwear is not appropriate for a place of business, even in a business casual setting. Clothing that gives the appearance of undergarment or underwear is not appropriate for a work environment.

Even in a business casual work environment, clothing should be pressed and never wrinkled. Torn, dirty, or frayed clothing is unacceptable. Any clothing that has words, terms, or pictures that may be offensive to other employees is unacceptable. Sports team, university, and fashion brand names on clothing are generally acceptable.

Certain days can be declared dress down days, generally Fridays. On these days, jeans and other more casual clothing, although never clothing potentially offensive to others, are allowed. Even on these dress down days we require clothing that is appropriate for a work setting.

If your dress attire is deemed inappropriate for work, you will be asked to return home to change into attire that is appropriate for work.

Stupid, but you look good in what you wear to work now. Don't stress too much, it's just a different pair of pants.
