[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has its purpose even though most don't understand. Most people have small brains.

An example I worked in a department of 40 where my Boss was very strict on dress code. Suit and Tie, sharply dressed. No ever walking the hallways to a meeting with Jack off. Women had to wear business suits, NO PANTS, pantyhose. High Heels, make up. I used to have a Barneys suit, Seiko Watch, Johnston and Murphy Shoes shined to the max by shoe shine guy before any big meeting, my white shirts starched to max, even my Belt was designer and my suits I had 10 were rotated and professional dry cleaned regulaly. My boss tried to hire no slobs. He used Head Hunters to clean out the slobs. He also has us 50/50 men and women and we were diverse but diverse like a macys catalog.

So why was he doing this. Why it got us on Executive Floor on 50 Floor on Wall Street. We were on same floor as CEO and where Board met. Where the EVPs and SVPs had meetings. We shared bathroom and coffee section with CEO and CFO. Are whole department became the future leaders of company. We got best raises  and promotions and bonus.

The say showing up and appearance was 99 percent of success. My boss was Extremely fierce on work house. Show up one minute late get in trouble. At lunch no more than 1.2 could do lunch at a time and had assigned lunch times. He did not ever want CEO, COO, CFO walking by our dept not seeing busy people in suits working.

Sounds crazy. But was hard to last in that department. Everyone in company tried to steal the staff and we promoted a lot.

He retired and next person went casual route, flex hours, hybrid did not care about appearance and looked like a lot of sloppy folks with department 2/3rds empty every day and eventually it became a dead end where careers go to die.

Why are you randomly capitalizing words that shouldn’t be? Do you not know what a proper noun is? So weird and Trumpy. [/quote]
