A company in my town still requires suit and tie for men, dresses or long skirts for women. If you leave your chair, you need to put your suit jacket on. You can take it off when sitting.
The amount of money it would take for me to put up with such ancient, sexist and conformist bullshit is hard to imagine.
- corrral 4y agoBasically every low-wage service worker puts up with it. Not suits, but often-ugly required work uniforms. At least suits and dresses look good.
- greedo 4y agoYup! I remember wearing nylon shirts and pants at McDonalds in the early 80's. Those were so much fun...
- brycewray 4y agoEven long after Ross Perot had sold EDS to General Motors, it was still frowned-upon for men to go to an EDS cafeteria without wearing their suit coats. Saw this in 1993 and, even as a lowly temp worker while between permanent gigs, I felt plenty of pressure to conform (and I did, because I wanted to be asked back for more work).
