lemonjelly 0 #1 February 1, 2004 Just found this memo that was sent to my friend from Human resources ...................... Dear All It has come to the attention of directors and management that GTA staff are not currently adhering to the company dress code. The standards of dress within the office have been continually falling and such a relaxed attitude does not present a professional image to our clients and customers. Please familiarise yourself with the attached dress code as given in the employee handbook. In particular, from Monday - Thursday all men are expected to wear a shirt and tie and no employees should be wearing flip flops or trainers for example. Kind Regards Human Resources Dept FLIP FLOPS************************************************* RED LIGHTS & OFF LANDINGS ARE JUST MY THANG http://www.redlightrob.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdgregory 0 #2 February 1, 2004 What is wrong with flip-flops? If they are good enough for Jimmy Buffet they are good enough for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #3 February 1, 2004 Dress code? Dress code? They want guys to wear dresses to work? Not likely! Do you have nay idea how much a kilt costs these days? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda965 0 #4 February 1, 2004 I dont see anything wrong with that memo at all. If a company had a dresscode, then people need to be adhering to it. There are some dress code rules that are a bit out of hand (like absolutely no open toe shoes or sleeveless tops at my work) however, those codes are made for a reason- to send a professional image out about the company. Oh well, its just work- wear the flip flops or whatnot after you get off. Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moodyskydiver 0 #5 February 1, 2004 Flip flops? you've got to be kidding me. I wouldn't wear flip flops to work unless I was a lifeguard or something. Thats about as bad as seeing all these poeple at the college going to class in house shoes...and I dont mean regular house shoes either, I mean the huge fuzzy comical ones that look like tweetybird or sponge bob or some other character.I have nothing against cute shoes..just dont wear 'em to class. ok ranting over "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

I'm a college professor. Students wear whatever they like in my class, I don't mind**. I wear whatever I like, too. I tell them that symmetry is important in science, and this is an example of symmetry. ** I did find it a little distracting when a girl sat in the front row with a short skirt and no panties. That was a long time ago.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flip-flops are great all purpose shoes. Easy on, easy off.

I'm not a fan of flip-flops, they always just fall off my feet if I try to walk normally. When I walk such that they stay on they make an annoying dragging-clomping noise.
