That way you can party on a board while at the same time be to the extreme in the office.
Wait, slow down... so you said vans WITH the suit? *scribbling down on a notepad*

good thing you made the right choice and got out of the office environment.. you seem to be not cut out for it.pirahna1 said: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.
:lol I'd have the greatest topic ever to be posted on Gaf if one of my co-workers ever did that. He would have to rock a purple fanny pack and a tie die shirt as well. He'd have to.lil smoke said:So what if everyone wore pink spandex on fridays? :lol
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?

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.

The co-workers were probably kidding around with him since he is new... and judging from the character he's displayed so far, I'd say he's probably over-reacting to their comments.pirahna1 said:Apparently everyone on GAF works at an office and gets fucking butthurt when someone comes in looking better than them?

Looking down on people who dress down on the appropriate day for it...is snobby. Considering yourself above said people because they participate, is pretentious. Thinking that non-participation will get you ahead, is petty.
tak said:I see this as stupid on both ends. It's stupid your co-workers care that much, and it's stupid that you care so much to dress professionally.
If your management thinks a clean shirt and nice pants are more important then the work you put out (assuming you don't work with customers) then they're not very smart.

All the higher-ups wear suits regardless of what day it is. If my direct manager comes to me again about this dress down bullshit, all I have to do is walk into any one of their offices and explain to them the situation. I'm sure they'll sympathize being professionally dressed, SUCCESSFUL earners.

nyong said:I'd love to hear how you would handle this.
Here is the simple fact. If your co-workers don't like you, you're out of a job. Period. Especially considering you just started work there. And believe me, if they want to fire you it won't have anything (officially) to do with a refusal to dress down on Friday.
MidiSurf said:You have to have good reason to fire somebody and not dressing casually is not good reason. They have to point out that he's not a team player and ignoring DDF doesn't mean you are not a team player. If the DDF isn't mandatory then he is safe.
Yup. Would never fly in HR. Companies are scared shit of lawsuits. However, OP would have to be completely on point at his job.MidiSurf said:You have to have good reason to fire somebody and not dressing casually is not good reason.

My company has the clause. It is possible that the supervisor can just say "we don't need you anymore", but he is a new employee and there had to be a reason to hire him in the 1st place. But that rule is not that black and white. There has to be some reason. He has rights!Jamesfrom818 said:Not really. This was mentioned before but in some states you can fire people just cause you want to.
