Trust me, it’s easy to tell the difference.
I need a job! I promise to dress appropriately and watch my language.
Shit, I could use some work too. I promise to be the goddam best employee this company ever fucking had.
Camel toes … erect nipples … freckles … mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I should have such problems to deal with… 
You forgot to mention how many pieces of flair are required.
This is a thread about a workplace issue. Please confine your remarks to the issue rather than drive-by leering.
I think the guy should have been fired on the spot. There is no way to get past that.
The woman I would give one more chance to. I would make it clear if she violates the dress code one more time she is fired. And then follow through.
Yeah, the guy needs to go - he’s an idiot with impulse control issues.
As for Miss Thang, I would explain to her that I’m not sure where she is coming from. She might just be thunderously clueless about what is appropriate for the workplace, that can be worked on if she expresses that she is regretful and wants to work on it. However, I would explain to her that as the boss, in my eyes, it looks like her choices are intended to deliberately challenge me. If that is her intent (…she doesn’t protest vigorously that it is her intent…) then write-up, warning, out-the-door. Because then the behavior in question is not fundamentally dressing poorly, it is challenging your authority.
Goddammit! I knew I left some shit off my resume. Fuck!
Have you tried pictures?
As in this is appropriate dress for Casual Friday
This is not
Sometimes people are fashion idiots.
Mr. Potty Mouth owes you an apology and a promise to never behave like that again. He got his free pass, one more time and he is done. His coworkers should have shut him down when he started and not have let it escalate.
Some threads always seem to devolve into this, you are not clever you are just embarrassing yourself.
There’s one guy in the office who has a propensity for aloha shirts. I don’t see anything wrong with it.
Our sales people tend to dress ‘nicely’. For the rest of us, casual is OK. I wear slacks and a buttoned shirt when I work in the office. I could wear jeans, and no one would say anything about it. And I have worn jeans every day. But the slacks are more ‘comfortable’ for a work environment for me.
Last night I had a dream I showed up in black cargo shorts and a T-shirt. When it was pointed out to me, I was mortified. (But awake, I’ve considered taking a pair of shorts with me so that I can be comfortable on the 110-mile drive home. Must be the warmer weather.)
I was trying to link to the lone photo of the lady in the low cut sequin mini dress next to them and instead it linked to the entire page.
In some offices a Hawaiian shirt would be ok. Tommy Bahama shirts are acceptable here.
I fully support employee 1’s right to show off her luscious body, and employee 2’s right to tell his boss to go fuck himself. Workplaces are better off without people like these, and society is better off with them.
Edit window ran out.
In my office walking shorts and bermuda shorts (like this Hudson viceroy knee short in morrissey morrissey + FREE SHIPPING | Zappos.com ) are acceptable on Fridays if the temp is over 90 degrees, but every year some girl will still show up in booty shorts with her butt cheeks hanging out.
I have a binder of photos I show new hires called “this is ok, this is not”. It has cut down on incidents from one a week to one or two a year.
This. The woman is testing you.
She still should be fired though.
Pictures are a great idea. If someone still screws up you have to wonder if they have the mental capacity to even hold a job.
I still think the guy should be fired no matter what. There should be no second chance for that behavior.
So I shouldn’t be petitioning for Leisure Suit Thursday?
While the behaviour was reprehensible, the poor guy might be in the midst of a nasty divorce, or a hundred other things. At least he deserves to have the chance to explain himself; we’re all human.
