My Turn To Deal With A Dress Code

[Riverkilt]

Hey Mr.Bill,

That's pretty much what's happening here. She moved here from 135 miles away. She doesn't talk over changes, just gives orders. The disruption she's causing is far beyond me wearing a kilt to work. Last week was just my turn in the barrel.

Management will stand by their own of course....to a point.

With all my years in sales and counseling my sad read is that the person is not capable of changing her ways. It seems now up to her bosses to decide if they want her disruptive new ways or the smooth running teamwork that existed prior to her arrival.

Thankfully, I don't have to make that call. My strong hope is that the decision her bosses make will negate the kilt issue. We shall see...but even given the worst I can deal with it.

As she so magnanimously said, "You can still wear kilts on your own time." Well "duh".....

Well if she is making a dog's breakfast it's her future that's going to be in doubt.

i contacted my HR dept when i first got interested in wearing a Kilt. Our company has no problem with it as there's nothing in the dress code even about it.

in fact, the other people in my group (all women, i might add) are all about me wearing mine to work. which i plan to do so on Friday. (and head to Nicholson's for lunch.)

It sucks that discrimination over such an issue even exists. i would think that there would be more intrigue over the guy wearing a kilt, rather than disgust.

That is the point where my temper would have taken over. I would've said, "How nice of you to give me permission to do something at a time when it is none of your business what I do. How dare you even think that you can say whether or not I wear kilts on my own time. Have you even noticed the problems that you have been creating here? Your sexist dress code is bad enough, now you think that I need permission from you in my personal life?"

I admit that my temper runs hot, but that "on your own time" statement crawls right up the back of my neck and yanks my gorge right up my throat.

Seconded.

Seconded.

Aye! That's where I would've snapped.
