In 1998, I went to work as a recruiter in a small agency. Our work was done almost exclusively over the phone and through fax machines. We rarely met with clients and, when we did, they never came to our office. And yet, we had a business professional office dress code. I was required to wear dress clothes, including a tie, to work every day. Regardless of the rationale from management about this policy, I thought it was ridiculous. The dress clothes I could afford at the time were uncomfortable and I hated wearing them.
