Hey Mod's,

What happened to the rule about posting entire articles. I thought we were supposed to just post just the first few sentences and then provide a link to the entire article :-?

I've seen other exceptions, and this did credit the article to Reuters.

Flip flops don't belong in the office. The firm has had a business casual dress code for about 5 or 6 years now and in the summer sometimes it gets ridiculous. Men still have to wear real shoes, collared shirts (polo shirsts are OK), shirts have to be tucked in, no t-shirts, etc. We have to look like we're coming to work. Women get away with wearing sun dresses, capri pants, sandals, flip flops. If I have to dress like I'm coming to work, women shouldn't be able to dress like they're getting ready to go to the beach. :roll:

I don't think you are interpreting this quite right.
