Am I really expected to believe that things are so peachy that companies have time to come up with this kind of policy? This sounds like something straight out of Catbert’s office.

Back in the day we had a simple rule that worked extremely well for cases like this. It had many names, but I usually called it the Washington Post rule:

Never do anything that you don’t want to read about on the Washington Post.

Examples:

  1. Male going to work wearing shirt, tie, jacket, skirt, pantyhose, pumps.
  2. Telecommute, then do a video conference in just your underwear.
  3. Park in front of an elementary school in a beat up old van with FREE CANDY scrawled on the side.
  4. Drive very slowly back and forth in front of your local police station, stereo full blast, listening to “Fuck Da Police” while smoking a joint. Extra points if you have outstanding warrants.
  5. Sign into a company owned instant messenger network with username IpullYourPanties4Life420.

You get the idea, it is a simple rule.
