It’s Jeans Day at Work — A Memo

To: All Employees From: Trish in HR
Hi!
Did you remember it’s Jeans Day? Great, because the company wants you to feel relaxed and have fun at work because, like my Uncle Neal the dairy farmer used to say, happy workers are productive workers. (Of course, Uncle Neal was talking about his big, fat, smelly cows — but they sure produced a lot of milk.)
All kidding aside, here are a few reminders about Jeans Day to keep in mind:
- Our Business Dress policy is still in effect, so jeans bought from Walmart probably won’t look good even on Amber from Accounting, and we all know she looks good in anything. The only person I know who wears jeans from Walmart is my Uncle Neal, and he’s a dairy farmer. Enough said about that.
- Jeans Day is not an excuse to wear sneakers. I don’t even wear them to exercise, opting, instead, for custom constructed performance covers for my feet. Here at the office, you should be wearing leather shoes. Remember, stylish feet are the engines of productive workers. And, as my Uncle Neal used to say, if your cow’s not making milk, then the cow hide will be making shoes.
- Jeans Day does not mean you can wear tight fitting T-shirts. Only a handful of us here in the building have bodies worthy of tight fitting clothes at all…
