[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My non-public facing partner at IRS has always had to wear business dress. No business casual for them. They don't even have a dress down Friday option. [/quote]

I have been at IRS for 35 years and have never heard of this.  Everyone used to dress up more in the early years.  Now it is business casual with some people pushing the envelope in jeans.  We are non public facing and anything else would be ridiculous.  Can you imagine managers behind closed doors...is Cindy's top ok?  I am not sure if it is professional.  Men are easy.  Any button up shirt and a tie I can be fine with..but that top has a bow??  Are bows professional??  We need more specific guidance.[/quote]

If you all hadn’t been wearing JEANS to work you wouldn’t be in this situation.[/quote]

That’s fair[/quote]

I have two kids working in n big tech.  Tshirts and jeans are the norm.  Shorts in the summer.  A collared shirt is dressing up.  [/quote]

My son is in Seattle working for Amazon and if you or anything but clothes that you buy at REI you’d look at a place[/quote]h

If a dress code like this is implemented, good luck hiring anyone under 50.

Even those of us over 50 think it's nuts, but at least some of us have older clothes we can dig out from our closets without having to spend money. [/quote]
