As soon as you have one or two pupils who express their fashion sense the way they would at the mall, it challenges the strict "blue jeans and white golf shirt only" policy ... BAM! NO MORE CASUAL DAY!!! It's not only Boomers who react like this in the workplace - I've had 2 very Xer managers react the smae way. Perhaps it is an attempt to run the workplace like a school? As Xers, what other example of management have we experienced than school management? It’s not all that different from Casual days (Civie Days) in our schools!

I went to Google image search, and typed in "jeans". This is what popped out, and if I was management... well, let me say, I can see their point :-) But seriously, this is just one more example of the Boomer's approach to office management. Everyone knows who the culrpit is - the one person who has abused the privilege, but they're not prepared to deal with that person. No. Instead we have to have a company wide policy that puts everyone in the same box. say good bye to your Bright Young Things when you start down that road.

However, I wonder if they only mean BLUE jeans. In some cases where jeans are not allowed (my parents-in-lae belong to an old school golf club and we often go there for lunch with them), I have taken to weraing black jeans. No problem at all...
