way the way i'll go ahead and start the way i work i the way i dress for work is uh this year nineteen ninety one has been really suit and tie or i shouldn't say suit but coat and tie everyday
uh-huh
uh-huh
a a year ago i changed jobs from being a researcher to doing marketing for the research group
um-hum
uh-huh
which means uh kind of a i guess it's a different
set of standards i guess
yeah
so uh i i dress almost the same everyday i mean pretty much it's a white shirt and slacks and shoes and a coat
uh-huh uh-huh
but it was very different before how would you dress
well i'm a drafter so i just wear blue jeans and tennis shoes and i have a sweatshirt on today and that's pretty much the norm for me if i come in in a dress everybody's shocked
um-hum
yeah i understand
they ask me you know what are you doing in a dress and it's usually i haven't done my laundry lately ran out of jeans
right
i understand that's funny so does it change
no no hum-um
your your dress no
so or do i guess do you have things like presentations to do or anything like that so back in my old job up until through nineteen eighty i would
no hum-um
um-hum
usually wear blue jeans and pullover shirts and the like but probably once a month or so there was some reason that i would have to put on a suit
yeah
presentation customer presentation or something
yeah yeah every now and then i'll get dressed up and come in but that's for my husband's job and not mine i have to go to a business meeting once a month with him but
oh i see i understand
uh oh well that's interesting
so
let's see uh what else about this
hm
it it seems like TI is pretty cut and dried with the two like two or three levels that there's the top upper management that always wears gray suits
uh-huh
uh-huh
and the people that don't uh i don't know if you noticed if i wanna say don't have power or don't have authority or whatever like i used to be in that research and i guess you are that we dress in the jeans and then there's kind of the
uh-huh
uh-huh uh-huh
the branch manager level or marketing people that kind of do that middle thing
um-hum
yeah yeah middle middle of the road
but there's not much it's nice that there's not a requirement
um-hum um-hum sometimes i think there should be some of these women around here look like they came off of Harry Hines
for it
oh yeah right yeah i guess you see those once in a while
and you know the they have the no shorts deal and some of these mini skirts you know are worse than shorts ever thought about being but um
sure
yeah
you know that's i guess that's one of the things you got to put up with when you don't have a dress code
that's right that's right i guess that that isn't there a dress code something about spaghetti straps i'm not even sure what they are
supposedly and backless things but i've seen those too
oh yeah
oh backless all right
okay so this wasn't necessarily a big conversation but i think we we did it
but
uh yeah
