''Casual day''
Every day at my job is casual day. Nearly everyone in the office, daily, wears jeans, jean shorts, khaki shorts, tennis shoes, cutoff ''muscle'' shirts, etc. I am new to the company and I just recently graduated from a local University. After 3 months of dressing nicely, I decided I wanted to fit in and feel less like I was trying to be ''super employee.'' So, I decided to wear jeans 2-3 days a week. After one week of doing such, I was immediately reprimanded and told that the CFO passed it down to my boss to pass down to me that I need to dress professionally because I am too young in my career. In other words, he doesn't want a young ''punk'' working with him. Everyone else is allowed jean shorts and muscle shirts, but I have to wear nice business casual clothing every day, making me feel like a complete outcast. I was also told that once I have established myself in the company, I can dress like everyone else. In other words, after I work for 2-3 years, I can dress like everyone else (even though other newcomers, such as a new secretary, wears jeans and t-shirts regularly).
