You think that's wanting to watch the world burn?

The last meeting I went to after turning in my resignation, the assistant director made a joke at my expense. I responded with an insinuation that I was fricking his wife and his newborn daughter wasn't his.

You should start wearing a 3-piece suit with a monocle and top hat every day to show those young punks what style and class is.

You are about to find out what kind of management is there. If they punish everyone it's time to find someplace else to work, because weak management will limit your ability to grow professionaly.

In my experience those are clearly some of the worst employees. They require coddling and excessive attention/management due to their heightened levels of self-absorption and-in some cases-delusions of grandeur.

They're horrible in any situation where teamwork and collaboration is involved due to an insular, isolating attitude that alienates the group from them and serves to reinforce their own sense of being an outsider.

He can decide whatever he likes. You decide to do it after I've warned you, and you'll get one more warning-in writing, in your file that absolutely will impact you once we start talking about quarterly or annual reviews for bonus purposes or discussion of raises-and if you can't get with the program after that I'll fill your position with another smart guy whose got better professional socialization skills within a heartbeat.

Considering the main measure for success will be set at someone who knows what f*cking shirt to wear to work when we clearly spell it out for them, methinks the bar for success in my efforts to search for this "miracle employee," is far lower than you may realize from high atop your self-proclaimed perch on Mt. Olympus.

I'll pay to train and deal with a lack of initial output before I tolerate idiocy from some entitled, holier-than-thou prick.

Have fun job-hopping for the next 20 years, douchenozzle.

ETA: You may wanna start marking, "No," when you're asked on applications, "May we contact this employer," as well. That won't end well for you, either. Keep raging against the corporate dress code machine, Che Guevera!

Say goodbye to business casual.

I've seen this before with "Casual Fridays". People show up dressed as if they're doing their 3am shopping at Wal*Mart.

Easier for bosses to cancel the casual dress than to go through the mechanics of firing someone.

I agree that it's easier to install blanket policies rather than provide documented progressive discipline. But it's also far, far easier to maintain great output and consistently high morale when bosses and/or management/ownership root out issues individually rather than just screw everyone over on some of the "little things," that play a part in employee engagement.

Low morale makes the company a sh!tty place to work and folks generally lower motivation and job satisfaction when stuff like that happens. As opposed to empowering a manager or owner to deal with issues from goofballs who think their personal sense of non-conformity should not be sacrificed at any cost.

It requires supervisors to supervise in essence. Part of their job is to ensure adherence to policy. If its that much trouble then there are-in my opinion-lax maangement, poor ownership, or perhaps both. Which means that joint ain't no real peach of a place to work anyway.

I guess I've never worked a big corporate office, but is it really that big of a deal for someone's boss to tell them they need to follow the dress code and fire them if they don't listen?

I know what you're saying, but considering OPs office and that it has people who wear t-shirts for a business casual dress code, what is the business going to do, go to professional?

It's extremely rare that I see offices with business professional anymore, and my profession is one of the worst hold outs.

This arises complaints from some of the higher ups and several of the managers make their way by his desk to remind him how much it'd suck to have to go back to full business. He shrugs them off.

Today, him and 3 of his geeky arse friends are wearing the same damn shirts.


If your "higher ups" have any balls at all, they would send them all home without pay for a couple days. frick dickwads like that!
