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.

the customer pays you do fulfill specific tasks for them. if and only if the task is to jump, you say "How high?" if the task is to write software to tackle a specific problem and they tell you to jump, you rightfully say "Fuck you" because that's not the job. the customer is always right, sure, but that only applies with regards to the product or service they are purchasing - you are not the customers' slave.
