Again, dress code is a minor issue, and I would be just as happy to be paid on the Green Book pay scale and come to work with the dress code, though I wouldn't mind getting my cake and eating it too lol. Minor issue!? I don't think something is minor when it provokes idiots into wearing dresses, kilts, leisure suits and tacky button up shirts to work. The management are sticklers about this because of rebellious attitudes Weren't rebellious before the IWRS So me wearing a military uniform controlling traffic didn't make sense? A little different considering military personnel have always worn a uniform, so your rules have been there since like the beginning of time (not to be taken literally) and ours is only two almost three years old, what's changed to warrent this?Long time coming. Since before the new rules (IWR and draconinan are union terms) that was one of the biggest demands of managers. They were tired of seeing people show up to work in track suits, flip flops, wearing hats, etc. We are going to work for the federal government and should dress the part. What other federal employees wear sweat pants, and flip flops to work? When you find it let me know. Still Can wear blue jeans on the mid (did it last night AND I wore a baseball hat), why does it matter what time of day it is? But, I do agree some people took it too far, you should be able to wear what you want within reason (ie jeans with that have more holes than material, t-shirts with holes in them, etc.) Well, besides IWRs. No one ever saw me control traffic while I was wearing it; so should I have worn it all those years? Women don't have to wear high heels to look professional. NO they don't, I never said that, I said it depends on how the management is feeling that day Thanks to the idiots mentioned above who taunt them When you are busy, you won't think twice about what you are wearing. I know from what little experience I have. Some people need to grow up and learn that rules is rules When they're Imposed Work Rules I don't see them as valid rules, not saying that I'm going to be a rebellious controller and wear something like say a kilt to work (yes this actually happened) I'll follow the rules, doesn't mean I'm going to be happy about it, I am quite a grumpy gills (or so my father tells me)
