My First Policy

A colleague and I were sitting today, and we were discussing the new building we are moving to. Yes, this is the same colleague that wants to be Batman but is scared of birds!

So after discussing the possibility of a new building we realised that with a new building, we should have a new Policy.

The Policy could be related to out of station housing amenities (available only to management!), or expatriates (Damn white people stealing the brown man's job!), or free food at the cafeteria (very important to note that this always leaves the cafeteria with no food!). However, none of these were as interesting as coming up with a new Dress Code.

So, this is what we decided on:

For Men:

1) All men can dress as they please. Comfort before style. (We figured the CEO and the president of the company are both men, so it would be prudent to institute a policy that allowed them to dress as they pleased).


For Women:

1) All women must wear either skirts or jeans. If it is a skirt it must be at least two inches above the knees. If they chose to wear jeans, it should be daisy duke tight.

2) Tops which are sexy, tight, and show ample cleavage.

3) All women should wear High Heels, nothing under 3 inches allowed.

4) Women can chose to wear makeup or chose to go without. They can also chose to accessorize in any which way they like. However, they are not to bring bags bigger than a "Clutch" (small women's hand bag) to work.

5) Traditional Indian clothing (Since we work for an Indian company based in India) can be worn, but they must be designed by the same people that design those clothes in the various Bollywood Movies we see. In simple words, only those that are sexy.

6) Please note no "Skorts, pants, jackets, shorts (Unless tight denim ones) and 3/4ths" are allowed.


I just realised we came up with a Dress code that has all women dressed as HCHHSSTT's! Brilliant!


Another colleague also suggested placing the air conditioners below the floor and hence point up from the ground. I would have to agree that this was a most brilliant idea, however pretty over the top.

Now I know a lot of my female readers would be very upset with the above dress code,

I mean lets face it, a policy that allows men to dress as they please and forces women to dress in something they would never dress up in. I would even go as far as to say this post probably has some of you thinking that I'm nothing but a Male Chauvinistic pig who is cheap and was raised badly.

The truth is can you really expect better from people raised in a completely male chauvinistic and repressed society like ours?
