Not a typo, it's a deliberate "dilbertism".

 

[legendario]

I wear what I like to work as it'll be covered by a lab coat anyway

And penetration by americans doesn't sound too bad...

Angelina and a strap-on pls.

 

[Will]

Am I allowed to say "suit you sir"?

 

[granny]

Cool, that turned into a really interesting read for me when I got in from work, thanks guys

Same here except for days like today when I'm in teh public (well, a bunch of GP's) eyes

Today was interesting in light of this thread actually cos I spent 30 minutes eavesdropping on a bunch of the female support workers at the meeting as they were cooing in their post-menopausal way over the assorted consultants and surgeons present. There was a clear preference in their hormonal gushing for the surgeons who earn considerably more money than the consultants and hence wear much snappier suits. I'm no judge but I don't believe the surgeons are inherantly more attractive than the consultants or GP's but the certainly have snappier suits...

That beardy bloke who gets all the scientific work on bbc1 recently did a programme on how women pick mates who're more able to care for children through money, and stuff. His name has Winston in it somewhere. Only I don't think he's Ray Winston, or Winston Churchill. Anyway, women like rich men. Factaroonie.

 

[projectarnold]

Robert Winston I think and he's not beardy he's got a fantastic Groucho Marx tash tho

 

[mank!]

I remember watching a BBC documentary on getting drunk. Some scientist got pissed and they recorded it, made quite interesting viewing actually.

Or did I dream that? Anyone...?

 

[danger]

Heh being a stoodent I normally where whatever I find on the floor... personally I find having to dress up this smart a pain... I'd rather just wear a vest, boxer shorts and an open bath robe (Think "the dude" ).

Has to be said that whenever I bring my Fire Suit home to go training in the states, Mrs Will makes me wear it!!!

 

[Summo]

By coincidence, she makes me wear it when you're in the states.

If you are working in a modern commercial business, especially in the financial sector, you are going to have to accept that suits are the norm, its not about control, its not about opression.

Its about looking smart and presentable, looking proffesional and trying to present a preffesional image. There are palces where it is not needed and used unnecasarily, but thats more to do with the tastes of the management than any kind of tool.

When you meet people, first impressions count, and if you look a mess, or you are wearing a t-shirt that says "dip me in chocolate and feed me to the lesbians", the first impression you form with people you are dealing with will not be good, and it works against you.

In some cases your business may have regular visits from clients or other business areas and maintaining a smart work place and prefessional working environment can help win over that client, or at least stop them from running.

Theres also a social aspect, similar to the arguments for school uniforms. If everyone is dressed more or less in the same style, there is unlikely to be a clash between the puffa jacket wearing raver of old, and hoody wearing skater of new etc. Without the preconceptions of what someones clothes are, people get on and deal with each other as that, people, i dont see any bullshit in the office that i work in, a group of departments of more than a hundred people, it would not be this harmonious if everyone was allowed to dress how they wanted, it sounds pathetic but when you see people in the street you form an instant oppionion, good, bad or neutral on them, primarily based on their cloathes.

There are genuine arguments for and against business wear, and all are valid in some cases, however the argument that it is some kind of conspiracy control method is just utter bollox.

I work in a call centre. They used to make us wear a shirt and tie because the office was also the head office for Scotland, and senior people would visit.

Then they opened a flash new office and all the senior management moved out. Did the dress code change? Did it fuck.

As I write this, we are having a dress down day. Life is relaxed, happy, and there is no anarchy in here. But come Monday morning, I'll still have to dress up.

I think far more companies than we imagine would be open to the idea of casual work wear in some departments. The whole American work ethic penetrating the UK as it is, wed all be much happier in jeans and a t-shirt and happy = productive = money = more fat cats.

My boss doesn't agree with people being happy. His attitude is that we belong to him and as a result why should he waste money/time/effort on us being even remotely happy. We should all shut the fuck up, do our work without saying a word, and leave 30mins-1hour after we're due to.

Occastionally to make it look like he cares, he'll buy us some pastries from the local shop. "oooooo thanks mate! that really makes up for us having to work on new years eve!"


unlike the murphys, I'm quite bitter

 

[Durzel]

They've always worn uniforms at McDonalds though?

 

[marky--]

OK what is it with women and suits? I'm wearing a suit today 'cos we've got a GP's meeting I'm helping out with, and no less than 7 different women have said "Ooh you look nice" to me.

You didn't let her finish her sentence. It should have been:

"Ooh you look nicer in that because you usually dress like you don't care"

Fair play on stopping her halfway through though, any normal guy would.

With a skirt, not trousers. Yes.

Shouldn't you think about leaving then?

p.s prime1 doesn't have a sense of humour, clearly.
