    yeah, i recently got one of these bullshit email jobs and theres no dress code at all. there used to be, but since they've started exclusively hiring people my age (ie, cheap people, people without dependants) thats gone out the window. we don't have nice clothes, they don't pay us enough to buy nice clothes, and on the odd occasion that a manager tells us to 'smarten up' we all just nod and continue wearing hoodies, because fuck, what other option do we have. i think the managers know exactly what the situation is and that they literally can't press the issue without losing like half the team.
