Like I said in my previous post, standout through your work ethic, not for wearing a tie one more day.

Toss The Salad.
Don't forget the lip gloss sailor. Chapped lips don't impress CEO dicks.

Sorry, you will spend your life sucking cock to be somebody.

nyong said:You violated the dress code. Plain and simple.
If a job requires you to wear khaki shorts and a t-shirt, you do it. If it requires a suit and tie, you do it.

Is this what professional life has become?
I CARE ABOUT YOU, TEAM. SO GO AHEAD, GET SOME MUSHROOMS ON YOUR PIZZA.

I did read the OP thank you very much. Only the OP knows what his co-workers are like, and he seems like a reasonable guy.

NintendosBooger said:I sound like an elitist because I choose not to observe a new, stupid tradition that presidents and CEOs grudgingly put into place? What competent company boss doesn't want his/her employee to come to work dressed professionally, if not openly at least secretly?
It's just how you said it, man.eznark said:It was a "pick your battles" example. When you spend 50-60 hours a week with the same group of people little things add up.
Laugh if you want but the approach has worked well for me.

True this. Picking battles and navigating thru politics is key to survival.eznark said:It was a "pick your battles" example. When you spend 50-60 hours a week with the same group of people little things add up.

Ugh...NintendosBooger said:Well, started my new office job this week, and I've already been the target of criticism and ridicule from my manager and a few of my co-workers.
Apparently, they take DDF (Dress Down Friday) very seriously, and so when I elected to come to work today in a business outfit (in an attempt to look good to the top brass), my work area was under assault by angered co-workers urging me to dress down on Fridays from now on, or else -- according to them -- the department heads might take notice and dismiss the dumb ritual altogether.
Then my manager stumbles into my spot, concerned that I wasn't being a "team player."
I like wearing a nice shirt, tie, and dress shoes. It's called looking like a professional, and not like some slack-jawed mongrel.
I'm wondering, however: Am I jeopardizing myself and my job security by not playing along?
Diablos said:It's just how you said it, man.
"I'm a part of the TEAM. That means we look out for each other. We keep each other going. If someone likes mushrooms on their pizza and I don't, well, I eat it anyway, god dammit. Because we're a TEAM."
Think about it. Take a step back and realize how unbelievably stupid workplace politics and policies have become.
The point I'm trying to make is that this stupid, childish, quite frankly pretentious bullshit shouldn't be a sacrifice in the FIRST PLACE. Don't you get it?malek4980 said:Diablos, dressing down or eating some fuckin' mushrooms isn't a big sacrifice to make to get along with co-workers and management.

by any means necessary!
I keep laughing at all the hate being piled on. and now there's the bro-rape scenarios getting played out on the "executive" ski trip. :lol
great thread.
lil smoke said:True this. Picking battles and navigating thru politics is key to survival.
but doesn't it seem a bit... dumb though, for a company to be THIS serious about a NEW employee's dress? I understand it as a joke on the rookie, but sounds like a bunch of petty pricks.
On second thought, OP I would start looking for another job.
I would hope co-workers are more interested in things that actually matter.

You sound like an ass kissing, elitist, snob, who has it in him to push others down to boost himself up.
Not saying you are. Just saying, that's what you sound like.
