ThornyRose Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 Except for the skirt, very few of those items are enforced - and not even that in some [very few] offices. De facto everything, as usual - neither one nor the other. It also depends on your boss. If he/she is MHP, you better put on the skirt. If other, well, you might be lucky. Not so with my elder cousin's office... Skirts? Pah... I haven't worn one since I threw out my high school uniform... Uniforms are dumb, too, if you ask me, especially in a private school, where you do not have the "dignity of the low-income" to watch out for... Rules - rules above all else! Skirts are more "enticing" - that's what they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
