I am not a worker and never want to be someone's "employee". I would be embarrassed to dress professional like I'm some "worker bee employee". People no longer take pride in "work". No one wants to be "at work" anymore. Today, everyone wants to be retired and living the good life. To be a "worker" or "employee" just shows you never made it big during the boom. Many people got rich during the 1980's - 2005. If you didn't get rich then, you'll NEVER get rich now. Being a Worker is for SLAVES. I am not a worker and never want to be someone’s “employee”.

We have grown men coming to work in saggy jeans, tennis shoes and t-shirts. We have women coming in as if they just left CLUB ESSO! It's a damn shame that nobody takes pride in coming to work dressed up anymore. But I guess when your supervisor is sloppy, then why shouldn't the workerbees? I take pride in coming to work dressed professionally, although I have been guilty of wearing jeans, a polo shirt and loafer type shoes on Fridays. But my dress down is still 1000% better than everyone elses best day. The company I work for takes no pride in being professional and in this day and age..it's a shame!
