Dress Code

Insobordination is not calling someone a name. I can call my boss
whatever I want as long as when he says jump, I jump. I can protest my
having to jump, but I jump.

So, let's you and me put together a web page devoted to insulting and
inviting ridicule upon your current supervisor, all in the interest of
"free speech". Then let's publicize it to your co-workers. Let's see
how long you are employed.

If it's longer than 72 hours, you clearly work for the government.

Not really. My ex-husband once worked for a major pharmacutical company
and they were doing an efficiency study. The team came upon a
researcher sleeping in his office. When they reported this to upper
management they responded with "YOU DIDN'T WAKE HIM UP DID YOU????".
Apparently this researcher came to work everyday and slept all day.
Once every few years he'd wake up, write down a formula and make many
millions for the company.

That's funny. But the company should've sent him home, and paid him as
a contractor, rather than leave him in place as a horrible example for
all to see. That's the kind of performance example that can seriously
harm employee morale, output and work ethic.

You live in a service industry mindset.

America would be a much better place if our government would remember
that they *are* a service industry.

If you think wearing business attire while working in a tower is
important I suggest you look at your priorities. I want my controllers
to be as comfortable as possible. I think we should require the
government to issue comfy sweats and slippers to all.

I guess I don't really care what controllers wear. What I *do* care
about is that they think their supervisors shouldn't be allowed to set
dress code guidelines. That is indicative of a serious management
deficit inside the FAA.
