Subject: RE: BS: As trust dies so dies a nation
A while ago at my place of work they wanted me to wear a tie - seeing as how I was screwed over for years, I stopped wearing ties. Full Stop. I got a promotion - long overdue, after the schizophrenic who had screwed me over was exposed. But I still refused to wear a tie, except on very special occasions when important visitors or 'head office' turned up.

The new place came up with the brilliant idea of 'casual fridays' - wear jeans, t-shirts no ties, etc - the idea being to reduce stress at work!

:-) wait for it ....

So I told them that I wore the 'business style' pants and shirt to work, and jeans and t-shirts when I was not being paid, in my own time, in order to get away from the stress. I would not wear the clothes I wore to relax away from work, to work, as they did not pay me enough for taking over my whole life, and giving me no way to release stress by wearing different clothing styles.

I said I would compromise and wear the neat tidy stuff all week and no tie all week!

:-)

They gave up! :-)

Hehe!
