NOT kilted at work -- your thoughts, please?

[Wolfhawk]

If you're on company time you should wear what ever they tell you to wear. On your own time, wear whatever you want.

I think this statement nails it the best. At most of my jobs, prior to them hiring me, they do not realize that they are hiring a biker and a kilt wearer (I do not do them both at the same time, though). So, when I come into work, I might either be riding my '02 Screamin' Eagle Road King Motor Trike with all my leathers and my biker vest on..... or I might be coming in wearing my kilt. Once I am there, I will take myself to the bathroom and change into what I need to wear for the day on my job (slacks, Polo, etc.) At the end of the day, I reverse the process. Wear what you want to work, change, and then change back at the end of the day and after you are off the clock. What can they say to that? Do they really want to be seen as being a control freak of an employee when he is off the clock. It can be viewed as very bad for the supervisor. You are meeting their requirements while you are on their time but they cannot limit you in what you wear into work and change into and what you wear out of work at the end of the day.

By doing this, it allows you to show the supervisor that you are doing what she asked (during company time), and you are doing what you want (during your time). You need to get a few of us to come to the functions and ask, 'don't you have someone who works here that usually wears a kilt?' and if she sees there are others who wear kilts at their functions, then she might wise up some and see the illogic of not allowing you to be comfortable while doing the work for the company.

I hope your supervisor gets herself less in a twist.
