This is the dress code policy for Comcast call centers. It strictly forbids the use of skorts.

Okay, 2 things here…
1. How does the dress code help keep ‘diversity’ in the workplace? Isn’t that the opposite effect?
and 2. Show up nude. It did not explicitly forbid it. If they complain, say it is for religious reasons.
@aro: You say that people shouldn’t be allowed to look like slobs but how do you define what a slob looks like? Does an untucked shirt count as slobbly? Wear condition of your shoes?
Comcast probably started with the the requirement of “professional or business attire” and with a lot of employees asking about lots of edge cases eventually the “professional or business attire” gets defined as a list of allowed and prohibited clothing.
@ViperBorg: Remember to wear shoes if you show up nude. Bare feet are not allowed.
skorts on grown women should be banned EVERYWHERE.
@Mo MoDo: They probably aren’t concerned about slogans like “Han shot first.” They’re worried about political slogans that might start disagreements between employees or offend paying customers. It’s a bottom line thing — employees arguing about somebody’s “Impeach Bush” shirt are wasting company time. Even worse (from an a company perspective), somebody might wear a t-shirt that could be used as evidence in a harassment case, like a Confederate Flag t-shirt. So they just ban all slogans.
(Digression: I once had a paying gig registered voters for the Democrats. The only writing allowed on my clothing? Political slogans. But I wasn’t allowed to wear jeans. Dress codes suck everywhere.)
This is exactly how the Taliban got started.
@Craig: Well, she’s 11.
Skorts are kind-of cute at 11, and capri pants aren’t ugly until you have hips.
Then capri pants make every woman on the planet look short in a dumpy way by the way they crop the line of your leg, and they make your calves look fat to boot. It’s like someone said, “What is the most unattractive piece of clothing possible for 99% of the female population? Let’s make THAT popular.”
Women are only here for eye candy so let’s all talk about how skorts should be banned because they make women unattractive or how policies like this shouldn’t apply to the female colleagues you like leering at. Casual sexism is fun!
I work for at a comcast call center I cann also tell you that one piece leotards are not acceptable.
Start blogging about that one.
As a comcast call center employee I also regret to inform you that one piece leotards are also unacceptable. effectivly ruining my summer collection
