I have just received an email from my employer, a financial services company, on its new “outcome-based” dress code: “As part of our drive to be a Winning Organisation . . . this means informality, openness and a lack of hierarchy in our business attire. In keeping with a solutions organisation, it is outcome-based.” Can I continue to work somewhere that sends me such cretinous nonsense? And if so, what should I wear? Investment director, male, 35
我刚刚收到我的东家(一家金融服务公司)发来的电子邮件,内容是关于公司新的“基于结果的”着装规定:“作为我们成为一家“成功组织”(Winning Organisation)事业的一部分……这意味着我们在上班时间穿着的服装需体现非正式性、开放性和无等级性。为了符合解决方案提供者的身份,工作着装要基于结果。”我还能继续在一个给我发这种白痴废话的地方工作吗?如果能的话,我到底应该穿什么呢?
