'New manager, new rules': Boss enforces unnecessary dress code, employee wears same ugly shirt in defiance

It's time to discuss unnecessary dress codes in the workplace. Of course, we understand rules surrounding inappropriate attire, but other than that, can't we all admit at this point that wearing a button-down shirt and nice pants in 80-degree weather is not going to make you more competent at your job? It certainly is not going to make the quality of your work any better. However, there are some folks in the workplace who simply cannot fathom the idea that a person in a T-shirt can possibly be a professional.

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/Philosopher_1234, who explained that after working in community mental health for approximately five years, a new boss came in and changed several policies, including the dress code.
