As a quick aside, I have been super busy, stressed, yadda yadda and ignoring the one thing that brings me sweet relief: blogging. It is good to see you all again.
I hate dress codes. Especially because I hate dressing up or looking nice and that sort of thing. In fact, if I were in a position of not interacting with future employees on a face to face basis (or customers, etc…) I would happily not wear the getup.
That being said, dress codes are an absolute necessity. There are exceptions to this rule that I don’t really feel like going into or inserting myself into a debate over but one thing, one universal idea that goes into why I like dress codes.
Some people need to be told what to wear
Some people I do not want to see any more of. Some people want to show skin and it might be distracting to co-workers. I hated our shorts policy. Some people were wearing shorts that were too short and we get to have fun conversations about short length. Then some people wore shorts that weren’t professional (rips, etc…). I just got tired of the combo of having to try and regulate all the different types of shorts there were and trying to disuede some people who shouldn’t wear shorts. And especially this time of year, I get a few complaints about it and I usually make up something about how we are a professional office and yadda yadda yadda, but for the most part, the reasoning above is all I need.
