My Turn To Deal With A Dress Code

**eighties** · 16th March 07, 09:36 AM

Hey Ron!!!

Allow me to also congratulate you on a job well done. Keeping that level head and letting your excellent performance define you're value, not your attire, has proven what so many of us already know. It's the man who wears the kilt not the kilt that makes the man!!!

Cheers!!!

Good Luck!

Brian

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.

Ron,

I keep looking at our WallyWorld and they never have the plaid in my size. I look generally about twice a week have not been lucky and I have been looking since last summer.
Well at least your situation worked out for the best. I have a felling she will not work up a dress code because it just might turn out to be to much work and she most likely has enought things to do being new and all.

here's the pictures of Kilts at West Point Military Academy.
This was the Army vs. VMI game. I am back left.

That West Point tartan has a sharp look to it. I have it in the L.L. Bean shirt. It goes well with a black Utilikilt.

My plan B - if I was prohibited from wearing kilts to work - was to at least endeavor to always wear tartan shirts to work and expand my wardrobe of tartan shirts.
