Are problems with dress code in the work place common?

Question

At my job there isn't one day that goes by that dress code does not become an issue, especially among the women because it's so easy for men to just put on a long sleeved shirt and tie with slacks. But with women it's a little more difficult. We actually have to have meetings about it. Is this issue common or is my job paranoid?

Answer 1

Yes, many places have problems with dress code but I've never heard of having to go to meetings about it. You might have the same kind of problems somewhere else.

Answer 2

It's a problem especially in the summer, since it's hot and people get too casual and sometimes show more skin than they should. Updating a detailed list, in employee manuals usually does the trick, listing what is NOT acceptable, ie t shirts with graphics, shorts, sandals, bare midrufs, etc.........whatever. Then management needs to be consistent about inforcing it- perhaps sending people home if they violate it, after one warning. Once people get sent home (with or without pay), they usually shape up pretty fast, and err on the side of more formal, than too casual.

Answer 3

It is at my office. But common sens will tell you don't dress like you are going to a club. I know that it is summer time and it is hot. But some women at my office dress like they are going to a club or the beach. This is work so deal with it.

Answer 4

its common especially in summer because some women like to show off their pineapples
