Reply to: Work dress code

[doodab]

Jeans and a T shirt, holes optional, occasional stubble, and I need a haircut more often than not.

Often they ask me to work from home.

Try the UBS dress code. 43 pages of it.

Discussing with a bunch of Germans their sense of humour, I pointed out that of course they do have one. It's just that it involves invading Poland. For a joke.

The rules above — and the 40 other pages of them — were initially designed to help temporary employees who might not have worked in a high powered banking environment before coming to UBS look professional.

That'll be the high powered banking environment that lost billions on the subprime crisis and got into major trouble with the US.

All 43 pages can be found as a PDF here (in French)

Not at places where I have worked, guys going for a dump and not washing their hands then making tea or fingering the donuts.

There's a Bob at my clientco who's effing disgusting. When I'm in the crapper I sometimes hear him at the sink hocking up some massive greenie which he spits into the bloody sink. One of these days I'm going to burst out of the cubicle and have a go at him. Which will be quite some sight, I grant you.

Now you mention it

I did a couple of days last year at a site where they had anti-bacterial gel dispensers at each end of every floor, plus posters telling you why you should use them. It seemed over the top to me.

Some sites in the UK too.

I had to have an H&S gonk show me the correct way to walk up the stairs when I got caught not doing that at one client.

I didn't impress when I pointed out once he'd got up the stairs that he'd forgotten to clean his hands with anti-bacterial gel because of all the germs that can be found on handrails.

I suppose that if one is lactating it might produce a Cappuccino effect.

If they’re particularly large breasts it might be a latte macchiato.

[Lola]

And what does that say about someone who likes to put his mouth in between two of them and blow, producing a loud farting noise?

It is ridiculous that breasts are considered sexual. The function of breasts are for the feeding of babies; nothing more. Anyone he takes advantage of a woman’s smooth soft breasts and incite her nipples to be erect while her bosoms palpitate are abusing nature.

In some sites in Germany, not touching the handrail when on the stairs incurs an H&S infraction.

Ditto for a UK registered, private sector, previous ClientCo in the East of England.

Halfway up the stairs, carrying some stuff, someone coming down told me I was on the wrong side of the stairs and made me switch to the other side, while they were stood on the mezzanine floor. ******. I was too surprised to tell him to piss off and grow up.

I thought it was more for the looks. I have seen too many German women without a bra, that should definitely have used one to lift stuff about 20 cms.

[Lola]

This is getting out of hand.

Forcing women to wear bra's? Crazy!!!!!

Gotta love the Germans.

[Churchill]

Nope, apart from the Jews, Gypsys, Freemasons, Homosexuals, non-whites, can't think of any.

Maybe they are not discriminating. Maybe they have all others. is that more politically correct?

This is where the conversation ends up looking like something from a Monty-Python script.

"I mentioned the war once, but I think I got away with it." - Yes I know that was fawlty towers but the same principle (and actor) applies.
