One of the first things that happens when you start working for a company is a session where you and the human resources manager will go over the handbook covering workplace guidelines. It is safe to say you will not need to open the handbook again. However myself and a co-worker informed our manager that we would like to wear short-sleeved dress shirts one day a week for comic relief. She was quick to note: "sorry it's against company guidelines". She is definitley not on the short-sleeve train. So my co-worker decided to actually look into her response and he found the segment in the handbook covering company dress-code. The news was nothing short of uplifiting. He found that we were in fact allowed to wear short-sleeved dress shirts. However in italics it noted: This form of dress is highly discouraged. Why the hell is it highly discouraged? Here in about 2-3 weeks it is going to get hotter than hell outside and I would like to wear a f* short-sleeved shirt regardless if I look like a convicted sex offender. To be honest I would like to see a short-sleeve dress shirt revival. All it takes is one badass person to start rocking this look and it would quickly become a phenomenon. Just imagine if you were watching Celebrity Apprentice and trump was rocking a short-sleeve shirt with a power tie. Would you make fun? Probably not, because it's f* donald trump. When I own more shit then he does I can make fun of him, until then he's better than most people. There were also a few other things listed in the handbook that are highly discouraged. Here is a list of a few things:
-Moustache (another thing that I think will make a revival once the economy turns around)
-Hair below the collar line
-White dress shoes
-Clip-on ties (hahaha....wtf)
A clip on tie is unforgivable unless you are under five or you are wearing it to a date party/mixer.
Just imagine if in ten years the new standard is short-sleeve dress shirt and moustaches, thats a world I want to work in.
