Dress codes at work don't apply to women
The dress code at my job is business casual, which for men doesn't make much of a difference, because we are still expected to wear the same things sans a tie. It's still dress shirt and dress pants/slacks, and if you want to take a walk on the wild side, you'll wear a pair of khakis. That's about it. I really have no problem with this at all, it's a place of work and looking neat and professional is expected, but it seems that this only applies to guys. Women can literally wear whatever the hell they feel like. Sure, there is a dress code for women as well, but it isn't enforced, not in the least. To be fair, the female analysts do dress appropriately, but most women who work for the company aren't analysts, so they don't represent the norm.
Take today for example, I actually saw 3 women wearing flip flop sandals, the type you wear at the beach. This is almost routine when the weather gets warm, many young women seem to throw away their normal work shoes in favor of flip flops. Then there is the ultra tight, sleeveless shirts, the ones that when they bend over to pick something up shows off their tramp stamp tattoo. Sure, if I was a person with an axe to grind and wanted to start shit, I could bring it up to HR that most women don't adhere to the dress code, but one look at how the women at HR dress themselves, then you would know that it is an exercise in futility because they all dress like beach bums. I don't think any man would stroll into work with a pair of flip flops and a tank top and feel like they are appropriate for or belong in a corporate environment. Many women seem to think it's ok.
On another point, many of these women who dress innapropiately (i.e. wearing baby shirts etc) are always the first to complain about how cold it is in the office because of the air conditioning. How about putting on clothes that cover your body for starters if you don't want to freeze to death? I really don't get this. It's a very simple thing to rectify, just dress appropriately, but nope, they rather have the place be a sweltering hellhole because they want to wear skimpy outfits.
