| Nov 29, 2017 at 20:09 | comment | added | ggiaquin16 | @fredsbend I am actually working on the "other jobs" part. But no, no one should have people making fun of them simply because they want to wear a dress shirt and not a polo. No one should make fun of a woman just because she wants to wear a dress/skirt instead of slacks and a nice top. It has nothing to do with isolation, we get along well as a team, but they shouldn't be constantly making fun of the way you dress. That's not how you make people feel included for one and if anything creates the isolation you talk about. As long as you dress within the guidelines it shouldn't matter. | |
