CGI tried telling us how to dress:
This is how we responded: http://www.marbles.nl/LBi-dresscode/dress.htmlDress Code
Hi guys,
as we have a lot of new team members in the eGarage we would like to refresh a basic thing: dress code.
As members of CGI, we have a common baseline to meet (abridgement from CGI homepage):
As a representative of CGI, you must maintain the highest standards of dress and personal appearance. When you are working at a client’s site, you should dress similarly to the senior management of that office. When you are working in our own offices, business attire is desirable, although business casual attire is acceptable. When dressing up for work, keep in mind that you are representing CGI and always ask yourself if you would feel comfortably dressed to meet clients without notice. Note that beach-like sandals, denim, shorts, tee-shirts, other collarless shirts, and any shirts with slogans are never permitted while you are working at CGI.
As we have a special situation in the eGarage where we are in a client’s office which is more or less this is our own office, we would like to adapt this:
Generally at from Monday to Thursday:
–> business casual - this means no blue jeans, no T-shirts, however also not necessarily suit and tie.
Generally at Friday:
–> casual - this means any jeans, T-Shirt, Sweater are OK assuming clean and proper
Sprint Planning (typically a Monday):
–> casual - this means any jeans, T-Shirt, Sweater are OK assuming clean and proper
Sprint Review (typically a Friday):
–> business casual - this means no blue jeans, no T-shirts, however also not necessarily suit and tie.
Client Meeting & Interviews
–> Business attire - this means suit (must have) and tie (desireable)
Of course this is a general guideline. In case you have e.g. a client meeting on a Friday, you will have to adapt this.
I hope this helps you to select the appropriate attire ;-)
Best regards,
Tim.
Man. My job rocks. ^^
