Corporate Culture.....

[Sean88gt]

I don't miss the corporate nonsense one bit. "Bring in $XXX and you get a jeans week!!!11" "Flip flop Friday!!11"

We proposed something like this with the proceeds going to charity and the execs shot us down saying that we have a code the customers expect, etc etc.

I can't stand stupid shit like that. Tell me what brand clothes to buy so I can fit in? No thanks.

If it means I get to wear shorts and a T-shirt everyday and still get paid good, sign me up I don't care what brand it is. One of my goals in life is to be in a position to wear shorts and a t-shirt 365 days a year. Probably won't happen until retirement though. Until then I'm stuck in blue jeans and a polo.

Oh, and remember, next Friday is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt...and jeans.

and be the only mofo in the office wearing one.

I used to hate that shit. It would be sports day and I would wear something, and be the only mofo on the floor of 30+ people wearing something sports related.

Being that it's from your key contact, drink the koolaid. Our corporate office is dress casual, but the nature of our business really isn't brand-centric. I work out of my home office though, so I am in shorts and flip flops all the time anyway.

I'm in sales as well, and even when going to weekly meetings with a big client where they are usually all in busines casual, I always wear a suit. Black or charcoal if I am meeting a client for the first time or two, a sport coat and slacks once we have a rapport. If it's a one-on-one with a long-time customer I'll leave the jacket at home, but still wear a button-down and slacks.

That's just me though, some people are completely fine dressing down, but if business is on the line, I prefer to remain as professional as possible at all times.

Same with me. Shorts/Tshirt at home and suit or slacks/nice shirt depending on client meeting. Love the freedom of being a RSM.

Question is - do any of you work for a company like this that drinks the kool-aid and just bleeds corporate culture? Do you believe the hype?

Yes / No. Who cares what you wear if everything else is right. I don't consider what you wear necessarily a deal breaker.

In IT im the guy making waves. They might one day consider me despensible.
It's my way of showing them, at least every once in a while , I'm ready to move on whenever the fuck it is they don't find me indespensible.
LMAO, that day aint coming any time soon! So thumb your nose at them all you can. Kind of a reminder of why i get paid XXX

hell if the company shirts weren't safety cone ORANGE and they were passing them out like candy , I MIGHT wear it one day.

Isn't that how some of you got your jobs ! (ok i couldn't say that)

knees behind ears?

[YALE]

My company has a pretty aggressive corporate culture. I'm going to start wearing their gear and saying pointed things. Maybe they'll promote me.

[Silverback]

If they passed out Dell polo shirts, I'd wear them every day to work.
