R&D teams within HP Enterprise Services received memos this week reminding them about the company's rules regarding workplace fashion. "If you aren't dressed like the models in the posters that HP displays around its locations, then your appearance is sapping the productivity of the workers around you," was one summary of the memo by an anonymous source. Many employees have become comfortable wearing t-shirts and shorts on a regular basis, and it is believed that "scruffy-looking" engineers might alienate visiting customers.

    OK so why doesn't every company give each of their customers free lifetime support, blackjack, hookers, the secret of eternal youth and a 2% stake in the company?

    Because then the customer ceases to be a customer and is no longer entitled to any of these things.

    You need to check your grammar, or your logic...probably both.

    Don't worry though. When you want to be a slave there are many masters waiting for you to come through the door in your three-piece.

      Aren't we all slaves. We all must sign away our life (or rather all our IP, including what we do at home in "our time") to get a job.
