This honestly does not sounds like a lot to ask, especially if customer facing. It's a workplace for heaven's sake. Call me old fashioned, but since when is it OK to come with ripped jeans and T-shirts to the office?


No one was complaining here about that dress code.

If they impose this for DoD, I’ll be sure to accessorize with an American flag snot rag.

If we have such a dress code imposed I will be creative with it! In fact, it might be time to dust off my retired husband’s suit jackets, shirts and ties. Maybe I will splurge for a fedora to really make a statement. B

Is it minor to require people to buy a whole new dressy wardrobe while there are proposals to RIF, freeze salary, force increased contributions to pensions and cut the SS supplement? Really?
Where's the increase in pay?


The same people say this about telework and everything else. It's just a way of undermining you.
