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?
Don't be ridiculous. There's not enough hookers & blow for our support staff, let alone our customers.
