The NBC Nightly News did an investigative report on wearing flip-flops in the workplace. What do you think? Yay or Nay?

absolutely not… nothing i hate more than people and their busted feet and toes on display. Unless your sit on a lifeguard tower, if you wear flip flops to work, where do you think you work exactly?
i don’t have a problem with it personally.
i think employees thrive when allowed a bit of personal self expression. if that involves flip flops? fine.
Wrong. Flip flops are house shoes or beachwear.
What if there is an emergency and your ass is trying to run in some flip flops?
idiot. your example is running in emergencies? you ever see a woman try to run in some heels? LMAO
and how fast can you really run in hard soled brogues?
the best and brightest young companies that are growing the fastest – like google – don’t have major dress codes. there’s a reason for this.
this is an ageist question in the sense that older employees will favor a dress code because they’ve internalized decades of old rules.
i’m certain they wear flip flops at google and the facebook offices and look how successful they are… not a problem…
No I havent seen a woman run in heels. Thats because most women have sneakers or flats for the streets. Just look under their desks, Idiot.
I bet I could outrun your fool ass in some hard soled brouges. LMAO
first off- it’s mostly old women who switch their heels off – so i know what you like to do – it’s look under old women’s desks.
second, you’re contending that in an emergency these women are gonna switch off their heels to sneakers so they can run out? or are they just gonna carry around their sneakers with them just in case?
I’m the idiot though.
and unless you can run a 10.15 second 100 meter dash (and you likely can’t cuz if you could we’d know each other) there’s no fucking way you’re outrunning me. you’re too busy sniffing old women’s shoes when you should be sorting mail.
10.15 thats impressive…bet you didnt do that in no flip flops hahahaha.
Sorting mail??…at least I got a job!!! You keep runnin in your flip flops.
hell no.
