11/10/2007 | Actually in a good share of offices you see people wearing jeans quite
often, and I don't really see anything wrong with this as long as the
individual is clean and neat.

05/15/2007 | Ok, here's the deal people. Most idiot companies are determined to control as many facets of your life as they possibly can, period. If they could control how you dress AWAY from work they would, and don't doubt it! True, some problem employees need to be kept in line, but to treat everybody like cattle, which is what EVERY company tends to do, is insulting. I believe that if an employee shows common sense in his appearance, and dresses correctly for whatever job he may have, then he should be allowed to wear whatever he pleases, within reason. But policies such as ONLY white dress shirts, ties and blue slacks are controling, ignorant, insulting BS! Life is too short for adult people to be treated like school children wearing their little bitty uniforms everyday to please some bonehead who hasn't got a clue! Remember, the only thing in life that you truly own is your self respect, and if you give that away, you have nothing.

12/04/2004 | Ah...NO! I like the idea of a leave-me-the-hell-alone day instead.

09/25/2004 | Depends on what the job is. If your in a job working directly with customers, it will decrease the image and attitude of the company.

09/24/2004 | i had my own dress down day last summer when it was almost 115 degrees outside. in the afternoon i changed from slacks and a dress shirt to shorts and a muscle shirt. my manager at the time dressed like an undertaker, even on the hottest days. the look on his face when he saw me was priceless; i think i took five years off his life.

09/13/2004 | Dress down days help you be yourself around your co-workers for at least one day. If you just dress down for one day out of the week, then people can see a little more of what you are like outside of work. For the other 4 days of work they get to see the more serious side of you. It is important to try to look nice, but you can do that with casual cloths also, not just dress cloths.

07/21/2004 | Overrated 90's crap. I'm tired of everyone dressing like s#$% on Friday. At work, I dress like I'm at work. At the bar or death-metal concert, I wear leather. Never the two shall meet

07/18/2004 | Yeah, like being allowed to wear jeans every Friday really ups the morale level when every other department in the building ALWAYS wears jeans. While I see a need to dress nicely when you're dealing with customers, I think working around heavy machinery shouldn't require me to dress up.

07/17/2004 | I've never found this to be a big thrill. It's like a grocery store being able to sell wine and beer 6 days a week but not on Sunday. There's a hint of hypocrisy in the whole thing like being required to force a smile. Also, it begs the question - if I work in the kind of environment (i.e., basically out of the public eye) where casual clothes are fine and dandy one day a week then, why am I wearing dress clothes the other four days? I say unless clothes are job related, why not lighten up and let people follow their own fashion sensibilities? I actually worked in a dorky place for about a year once where they tried to boost moral by declaring one day a week Funny Hat Day (I kid you not). Uh, I dont know about you but I'm pretty sure thats dangerously close to Humiliate the Employee Day - or maybe Celebrate the Managements Retardation Day.

07/07/2004 | If somebody ordered me to wear jeans to work on Friday, I would quit. Casual Fridays always backfires for a company anyway. People abuse it and end up donning something that is so inappropriate, that it ends up causing a SITUATION between management and the employees. I once saw a young secretary come in wearing shortalls and a tank top (she did look rather cute though).

07/07/2004 | A few years back I had a job with the state. Since all state jobs are union, and unions fight for employee benefits, every so-called privilege that you get is considered to be a hard-fought W for the union. Well one of those W's was a dress-down day on Friday where you could wear jeans to work. Being fresh out of college I had my own ideas about the workforce and I didn't see it as professional to wear jeans to the office, so I didn't. And did I hear it from my coworkers! Many confronted me, especially the union reps, saying the union fought hard to give me the privilege of wearing jeans to work on Friday's, and me wearing dress pants was a slap in everyone's face. So this was certainly no motivator or reward - I was actually forced to wear jeans. What a bunch of garbage. If I could go back in time I would have worn a tux on Friday's.

07/07/2004 | Dress down days are depressing, unless dress down day is every day. There's nothing worse than being with the same company for a couple of years, and seeing the same tired old jeans on your coworker every single Friday. In my last job, I made a point to never dress down on dress down days - fight the damn power.
