I just want to know what's corporate America's deal? Why must I dress in these uncomfortable clothes to do this job? Does it make my work performance any better? Is my report any more stellar because I wore pumps instead of sneakers? I think not.
I don't care how rich or powerful corporate America is; it's time for reform. I truly don't think its a bad idea to let your employees wear clean, neat jeans and t-shirts to work. I want my workers to be productive; their usually productive when their comfortable.
Cost is also a big thing, Do people realize how much a good button-up shirt or wool skirt cost? Am I even getting paid enough to buy a weeks worth of outfits? I don't think I am. Clothes like that come with special washing directions that ACTUALLY need to be followed correctly; just ask Gene Kelly what happened to his wool suit when he sang in the rain...
Plus, when your a woman, they always have something to say: "Ma'am it's come to our attention that you're extremely sexy and it is distracting your fellow coworkers from doing their job. If you could tone down your sex appeal it would be a great asset to company productivity; thank you." You know what I say to that? "Take your company productivity and shove it somewhere; you people don't do jack squat as it is. I worked hard for my body and I bet we would get more work done than ever if I came to work stark naked."
Tattoos and piercings are another thing. I mean its totally inappropriate to come to work with your face looking like a block of Swiss cheese but I shouldn't be yelled at for a tiny cartilage piercing; I promise you its not that serious. And tattoos are beautiful works of art; I have two. I would love to get several more but corporate America told me no.
Maybe I'm overreacting. Maybe I'm a free-spirited hippie-love-child. Maybe I'm telling the truth. Or maybe your just mad I actually have the balls to say what you've always been thinking.
What do you think?
