DIMA Dress Code

I have a problem with a dress code that makes workers automatons and allows a Minister to wear shirts that even makes cat sick look good.

You can’t have it both ways obviously….

Do what you are told. Some people are sick and tired of walking into government offices and seeing people dressed like sacks of shit.

I note all the ‘rebels’ would have conformed to the dress code as required.

“It’s something that should not have to be written into guidelines as staff should already be aware of it.”

Thats why its now in the guidelines, because people aren’t aware of what an acceptable standard of dress is. Like it or not people’s first and lasting impression of a person, and a department, have a lot to do with how a person looks.

Stop you beeeeaaattching and do what you’re told….or quit

The only rule of that lot that I have a problem with is the no denim one. Jeans are fine for work, depending what you do. I suit up when facing customers, jeans when doing back office work. Trust people to know how to dress appropriately for work.

Skimpy I only have a problem with if people carrying a bit of weight lack the judgement to know what they should not be seen in publicly.

If an employer makes a nonsense rule about dress that is not relevant to the nature of the work, make a mockery of it. They don’t tell you about the quality of suit, so wear a cheap, poorly fitting one, don’t worry about colour co-ordination, wear mismatching shoes, a really loud tie, etc.

I note that pinching a Circus Tent from the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and trying to pass it off as a frock would fall short of DIMA’s new standards. Someone ought to tell Vanstone, else she runs the risk of being bitch slapped upside the head by DIMA’s Fashion Police.

Their scanning equipment that can see through clothes would almost certianly pick up the unauthorised G-string, too.

bugger don’t need anything more to feed my anxiety attacks…

Too late AD, ECHELON‘s on your tail now.

just to clarify that is not terrorist attacks that I might perform because I wouldn’t… it is meant to reference the terrorist attacks that I am shit scared of….

don’t apologise terubo… but yes I will have fifteen… they will go well with the gas masks I am ordering for supervolcano eruption/terrorist attacks etc etc..

Presumably it’s still OK to turn up wearing polyester suits, ties from Lowes and mustard coloured trousers with your mobile phone clipped to the belt? The whole public service really needs to be Queer eye for the straight guyed.

hehe yup

I believe VY’s attitude is that gay marriage is fine as long as both the chicks are hot and he’s allowed to watch.

Quite enlightened, really…

Boomacat: I believe that is the new compulsory corporate uniform.

What’s your view on gay marriage, Mr VY????

And I do have a sense of humour – did I ever tell people my views on gay marriage?

Of course it’s a joke – but they say every joke has an element of truth…

Pseudo Echo springs to mind.

Put me down for four terubo. If you can build a band around anything, it’s orange jumpsuits.

That should have read LG not AD – sorry AD.

My agent mis-read my order for 2 orange jumpsuits & sent 200. Can I on-sell to you guys, AD? (Yes, they are made in China).

Wear a suit: but never have it dry cleaned, and don’t use deodorant!

I thought that a t-back diamante thong would have been more professional?

I think a t-shirt that said ‘Cormelia’s pimp’ might be a little along the lines of what you are after

wear a button down shirt that says on the back FCUK DMIA

Good work

Pic ? 🙂

It’s a joke VY. It’s called a sense of humour. The rest of us have one. You should get one too. They’re nice!

Gee, an employer wants their staff to turn up looking neat and professional (and not even in a suit) – the nerve of the bastard.
