Why oh why do compaines do this stuff?

OK here is an email that just got sent out here at work. Funky Friday's are back! It has been decided that this Friday will be ugly shirt day. Now, by ugly we mean that one shirt in the back of your closet that you just can't part with but won't be caught dead wearing in public. There should not be any obscene, foul, derogatory or otherwise offensive comments, pictures,gestures, or innuendoes in, on, or around said shirt. Also, holes, fungus or other unpleasant odors will be not acceptable. It must be appropriate for the work environment in an ugly sort of way. Participation is purely optional however encouraged. Remember: Ugly is in the eye of the beholder. :wtf: First off, If I thought the shirt was ugly I wouldnt still have it, and second, do I really want to see a bunch of shi*ty shirts around here? F No! I told you guys, its like Office Space exactly here.

:baha: Our company (and more specifically my previous department) used to do stuff like that all the time. I suppose it's intended to foster cameraderie and team building and all that bullsh*t... :lol: Also supposed to be a break from day to day monotany, bring a little fun into the workplace... Eh, it can be fun... it's stupid, but why not have fun with it? :idk:

:baha: you should go get a 70's style shirt with the butterfly collar, and wear that :lol:

Why not make a casual day, instead of this retardidity? Because engineers are socially retarded.

Why not make a casual day, instead of this retardidity? Why dress up at all??

Because I dont own an ugly shirt!! :lol: :tt: I'm sure there's at least ONE questionable item in your wardrobe... ;)

:tt: I'm sure there's at least ONE questionable item in your wardrobe... ;) Actually I do, its a University of Michigan shirt. :leaving:

F No! I told you guys, its like Office Space exactly here. It's stuff like this that makes me so happy my company buys all my clothes that I wear to work and we have to wear fire retardant clothing, so it all looks like decent clotheing jeans/work pants and button up shirts or nice t-shirt.

Actually I do, its a University of Michigan shirt. :leaving: :baha:

ugly t shirt day? thats new... we don't have that kinda stuff here I guess, everyday is supposedly casual. (or at least it is for me :D ) But I really get the office space vibe coming from this place. and the cubicle farms... everytime I stand up in my cubicle its like that scene from the matrix that shows all the humans being farmed for energy :lol:

Man, I'm glad I work in a "creative" field. Every day is jeans and sneakers day, and so long as my shirt has a collar, they don't care.

its not all engineering companies...I wear jeans and sneakers and nobody cares about collars at all.

hmm riding jeans.. I need to get some of those, so I can have leg protection but not have to walk around with riding pants...

Friday is Hawiian shirt day... http://www.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/2001919/bill-lumbergh-1_Full.jpg

Friday is Hawiian shirt day... http://www.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/2001919/bill-lumbergh-1_Full.jpg Yes it is. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Did that get sent out with a TPS report?

haha it sounds like my work. except they took away jeans on friday except for the last friday because they didn't want only the California offices doing it. everyone else only gets jeans once a month on the last friday. our boss felt is was unprofessional to not maintain the national company standard...:tt:

I don't get it... if you're going to be sitting in a cubicle all day, rarely dealing with other people in person.... who cares what you wear?

Did that get sent out with a TPS report? No it came in a memo. And yes I got the memo. :lol:

No it came in a memo. And yes I got the memo. :lol: PC Load Letter... What the f&*k does that mean? :lol:

hmm riding jeans.. I need to get some of those, so I can have leg protection but not have to walk around with riding pants... Yeah, they're nice. I have two pair now- Draggin' Relaxed Fit, and Icon Barrier. The Draggin' have more protection (all the way around the knee, and in the seat) but the Icons fit closer to normal (twenty-something) jeans. The Draggin' are closer to what my dad wears, without being too (:gary:) tight

Jeans,a Polo and boots for me at work.

well, why dont you get like a horrid looking retro shirt from the 60's or something, just something so horrid you can scare your co workers with it by wearing it.

Because I sit in a cubicle all day and I never see anyone. I can hear their useless drivel all day long but I dont see them unless I have meeting, and I dont have any of those today thank god.

punch them in the kidney

punch them in the kidney Trust me, I've thought about it. :whistle:

Why cant we all just telecommute to work :lol:

Why cant we all just telecommute to work :lol: For my job we could. We have web conferencing all the time. Im availabe by phone and emial all day long. There is no reason I couldnt work from home. Yhey just dont let people do it. We can bill a few hours here and there if we spend some time working from home, but we cant work form home on a regular basis. :nonod:

We don't do crap like ugly shirt day and I work for one the worlds largest engineering companies. I wear jeans and typically a polo shirt everyday, but sometimes a t-shirt.

Do you have any shirts with the company logo on them? If so then you can just wear that on Friday's and if anyone asks just say, "this is the chittiest shirt I own."

Do you have any shirts with the company logo on them? If so then you can just wear that on Friday's and if anyone asks just say, "this is the chittiest shirt I own." As a matter fo fact I do. Damn I should have thought about that when I was getting dressed. :lol:

You guys and all your office chatter... if I wore a ugly shirt nobody would ever notice... being I mostly work by myself all day.

You guys and all your office chatter... if I wore a ugly shirt nobody would ever notice... being I mostly work by myself all day. I work on myself at least twice a day... wait a second... I don't think we are talking about the same things...

which one is baggy like carpenter jeans? I hate tight fitting jeans with a passion! You mean you hate properly fitting clothes? I'm sorry :nonod: I never understood why the whole "wear clothes that would fit someone twice your size" fad caught on. It's hideous. For my job we could. We have web conferencing all the time. Im availabe by phone and emial all day long. There is no reason I couldnt work from home. Yhey just dont let people do it. We can bill a few hours here and there if we spend some time working from home, but we cant work form home on a regular basis. :nonod: I love working from home via computer. Damn I should have done that today :lol: I work on myself at least twice a day... wait a second... I don't think we are talking about the same things... :lol: classic OSP right there..

no man I don't mean that "gangsta thug" look with your pants down to your knees n sh*t. just pants that have some room to breath in (e.g. carpenter pants).

And apparently this week is it stripped shirt day. :nonod: This Friday is Stripe Shirt day! This should be easy for everyone. And, no, it doesn't matter which way the stripes go or what colors they are. :wtf: :cursin:

And apparently this week is it stripped shirt day. :nonod: :wtf: :cursin: Impressive.
