I would hope co-workers are more interested in things that actually matter.
"Sacrifice" at a job means a lot more than if you do/don't want mushrooms on your pizza. Unless you work with a bunch of fucktards. I'm just sayin'.

Yes. I can't believe there are only 3-4 people in this thread that actually get the point!MidiSurf said:I'm with op. If he wants to be formal even on DDF then let him be formal. We don't have any dress codes at my work place but I would fucking quit my job if someone would start bitching about what kind of clothes I wear.

Diablos said:Whatever, this debate could go on forever. I'm so glad my next job will involve working from home a couple days a week and not going to an office with a bunch of fools.
I worked in an office once, and it sucked. But even they didn't care about this kind of stuff.

famous last words at this new job?NintendosBooger said:If it's really DDF, then why do they prohibit employees from wearing sweats and shorts, even on Fridays? I mean, why stop with jeans?
Fuck you guys and fuck your suggestions. I'm not letting anyone tell me, either directly or indirectly, to dress to their level.
maybe.. but i was only half serious.eznark said:Amen. I'm here for a few more months, just until my house is built, then I am gone.
But like I said, going along to get along is the key to getting out soon.
OP is destined for a life of being the asshole middle manager despised and depressed.
you're laying it on a bit thick
Yeah the agenda/ass kiss stuff is pretty bad, and too transparent. You gotta be slick about stuff if you want to move up, thats for sure.Ferrio said:Yes, and the op is one of them too. He's dressing up because he has an agenda. No one likes a kiss ass. If you make co-workers look bad because you do a better job than them fine, but if you're going out of your way to make them look bad on trivial shit you're no better than them.
Eggo said:You don't get it. This has nothing to do with what clothes the OP is wearing. It's the mountain-sized chip on his shoulder, massive ego, and plans for global domination... that's why he's the object of ridicule IRL and in 4 pages of this thread.by sucking his way to the top (both figuratively and literally)
If the OP could just be cool and not piss off those around him, nobody would care that he's dressed up on casual Friday. But all the baggage is the real problem.

I guess I hear you. Our job isn't 'family' like that, so i can't really relate. I come in and mind my business and do my job.KevinRo said:listen to this.
if your job has a certain working environment that everyone is use to, then there is usually good harmony within the workplace. after a while, you and your co-workers can joke with each other, treat each-other like friends/family and even hang out after work.
but ( i know from experience ) when some douche-bag comes along and fucks that shit up, usually things don't run smoothly from there on.

On weekends, I hear you wear leather chaps. Confirm or deny.distantmantra said:Fridays I wear nice jeans, a button up shirt, loafers and a brown or black courdoroy blazer depending on my shoes. Nice change of pace from the Monday-Thursday slacks/shirt/tie routine.

Even if we were like that, I probably wouldn't make such a big deal about a noob coming in with a desire to dress that way he wants. It's kinda childish.
This would be different if it were like... he came in and wanted to turn off the lights cause he likes to work in the dark, but everyone else has always wanted the lights on. That is understandable. Threatening someone's job because he isn't wearing the right fabric is... I don't even have words for this sort of nonsense. we're talking about JOBS. The way people pay rent, eat food, live. It's not some kids game.

Humans can be petty and small and they don't like others who purposefully distance themselves from others. He's working in an actual office with actual people and should act accordingly.

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?

What the fuck is wrong with you douchebags?
Don't dress down. Fuck 'em. Do your own thing and let all these office snobs who bicker about petty shit suck the boss' dick under the table to get their measly two-dollar-an-hour more promotion. You work your mojo with those suits.
Thank god I don't work in an office environment anymore. I'd piss off everyone in the fucking building apparently. My dress down technique was wearing a pair of Vans with my suit. Yeah bitches.
