All of my employees are female. When they ask how to dress, I hand them a copy of Popteen.
I could swear that this was lifted from an old 30's movie like the Thin Man with Ronald Coleman but I can't find a cite.That is one of 30 Rock's greatest lines ever.
If I had my own company, it would likely be one dealing with land use planning, landscape architecture, and economic development. Since the vast majority of our clients would be cities/villages/township and county governments, and quite a bit of the work on site would involve being outside and possibly at a construction site, the dress code would probably be something very basic like: chinos, collared shirt, rubber-soled boots or shoes. If your role keeps you in the office all day, chinos and collared shirt would be the minimum there as well. If you are meeting with community officials or making a public presentation at a council or planning commission meeting maybe a blazer/sportcoat with tie optional. When dealing with the public, i.e. taxpayers, the last thing you want to do is show up to a city council meeting in a meticulously tailored suit (especially in a smaller, rural community or a blue-collar suburb) and give the impression that you are overcharging for your services.
Your primary concern is that you have the best coders on the ground running. If you are worried about what kind of pants and shirts they have on, you really are not cut out for that world.
It is best not to mess with the nerds. Ply them with mountain dew, ****** pizza and free tickets to dragon/comic/nerd con and forget that you ever gave even half a **** about what they might be wearing. Assuming you want good coders.
Just a hint: coders are cheaper in India, and they do not require Mountain Dew.
Same with lawyers.
Is there a reason why the OP insisted on capitalizing the word "Firm" in every usage, by the way? Is this hypothetical firm the sort that would employ, say, Wilford Brimley to chase down and antagonize Tom Cruise?
If so, I'm on board.
Janitors room not to be used for sexual purposes during business hours.
No Smoking permitted but Vaping is ok.
Easy... if your company monitors Internet usage. Whoever goofed off the most for the week gets to clean the following week.What kind of cleaning policies would you titans institute governing usage of the employee snack and lunch fridges? Would responsibilities rotate among all users, or in cases in which the employee has posted in this thread, would the responsibility be presumptively assigned to him punitively?
Unfair! Korean, Indian, and Thai are 90% of my diet. Forbid those and someone will demand likewise for buttery popcorn and stinky burritos. And have you ever caught a whiff off those Lean Cuisine frozen microwave dinners? Vile.Also, would fish or fragrant ethnic foods be allowed for reheating in the microwaves? Oh, like a fish curry or anything Koreans eat?
