My Turn To Deal With A Dress Code

[BEEDEE]

Ron,

I think it's very wise that you are already setting up a back up plan in case kilts can't be everyday work wear (start compliling that list of Celtic holidays). Good luck and keep us posted on this.

You might like to use this as a list of occasions to wear a kilt!

I would personally do everything possible to get the dress code to forbid women from wearing pants. See how far that goes.

That does not appear very logical to me.

Would it not be better to try to get a dress code that forbids non-bifurcated garments for all employees?
Granted, that looks like the opposite of what we would like to happen, but I'm quite sure that the women, who like to be comfortable in skirts once the weather warms up, would be up in arms over a dress code that denies them the freedom of choice.

If they then get the dress code changed to regain the right to wear what they want on the basis of mere comfort, what argument could there be to deny that freedom of choice to men?

interesting thought there...

Anyway, having been the target of exactly the same type of single-mindedness, I cannot express how very much I hope this new supervisor is either not your supervisor for long, or is given the "come to jesus" talk by her managers. Either way, for you to no longer wear the kilt at a job you have held kilted for years would be a travesty.

To that end, I'll be wearing my kilt on tuesday in support of your efforts!

Thanks for the Great list of holidays. They will most definitely come in handy for me in the future.

Keep fighting the good fight! I was told 3 years ago at my company when I asked to wear a kilt to work on St. Patrick's day that it's not "Business Appropriate" I was fairly new at the company so i didn't want to pick a fight, but I just might wear it next year, since this year it's on a Saturday.

It's always nice to win but to win with style and grace is even better. Congratulations!

Ron,

Congratulations on a positive outcome. Can you speculate as to why your supervisor changed her mind about kilts? Was it something you said or did, or did she change her mind for some other reason?

Ironically, I think its because of the marketing job I did at the big meeting with the big prospect. We not only got the contract, they requested their first employee see me at the therapist. Before we got the contract she'd complimented me heavily on the job I did presenting myself and agency services.

Either that, or the long nose-to-nose and heart-to-heart conversations we had about our mutual behaviors helped her to see me for who I am, not a generic employee.

I sure ain't looking a gift horse in the mouth though!

The potential of a kilt excluding dress code still looms off in the future.

Way to go, Ron.
