An email sent to all the staff in our firm plus the junior lawyers but of coz the partners and big shots are excluded:
"Dear all,
I have been given instruction
to inform all of you
that wearing jeans on Friday is strictly
prohibited. Shorts, Bermudas,
flip flops and T-shirt (non-collared)
are all classified as
inappropriate.
Smart casual on Friday is
acceptable but for
lawyers, if you are meeting client in/or outside
office, you have to dress
up appropriately.
Thank you for your
attention.
Regards
Idiot (with a capital "I") "
In normal cases, the above email will just set off some talks abt how the management's decision will affect our dressing and all...but this particular email set off talks like:
"Omg, cannot wear flip flops...then we must wear heels the whole 8 hours plus in the office? Aiyo, cannot walk like that for whole day lah."
"Cannot wear flip flops? Wat abt some of the bosses, how come they can? Coz their flip flops more high class?"
"Ok, no flip flops. Barefoot?"
"No T-Shirts or else T-Shirts must have collars? We cut out collars and fix to our T-Shirts? LOL"
"But ladies' blouses seldom have collars ar (those T-Shirt material blouses)."
All probably just becoz we dun like the idiot's style of doing things. Since its instructions from the bosses, why didnt he dare to email everyone in the firm including the bosses? Afraid tat the bosses realise how poor his command of English is?
"Smart casual on Friday is acceptable but for lawyers" sounded like everyone except the lawyers are allowed to wear smart casual on Friday. -_- Stupid Idiot!
