Society wants me fatter, well, maybe not society, but commerce does.

ChadTower:

I liked it better when I could wear jeans to work. 

shmokes:
Jeans are a direct violation of the dress code at my work and I wear them almost exclusively.  Nobody else can get away with it, but everyone just turns a blind eye to what I do cos being the computer guy gives me something akin to godlike status.  Other computer guys on the board will probably have some idea what I'm talking about, especially if they have worked in a situation like me where it's a relatively large organization, but just small enough to have a one-man IT department.  We only have about 90 or so employees. 

Other employees have bitched about it on a number of occassions, but nothing has ever come of it and since I'm leaving in just a few months anyway, at this point even if they explicitly told me I had to stop wearing jeans to work I would explicitly tell them that wasn't going to happen.  But they wouldn't do that anyway.  They love me.

ChadTower:

That's small company culture for you.  Here in large corporate HR driven hell, even the best most effective employee would be fired for repeatedly violating the dress code in the face of a few warnings.  Common sense hath no foothold here.

shardian:
I work for a small company and get to wear jeans to work. I can also wear shorts to work in the summer occasionally...as long as I can put up with the teasing.

One of the downsides about working for a small company is if they find out you know how to do something, you usually end up with an extra responsibility - like computer troubleshooting. Too bad I don't get paid a consulting fee.  ;D

ChadTower:

In the big company, you end up with that responsibility if you just touch something no one else wants to do.  You don't have to know a damn thing about it.
