Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Serious question about male dress code

No one is wearing sweat pants - wife beaters - or speedos.

However, two items of apparel have been allowed in the post pandemic dress code that were written warning eligible pre pandemic.

Jeans and Sneakers.

Is this an official policy change or can you still get into trouble for this?

Outside of customer facing roles, no one needs to be told what to wear.

It's amazing that adults need to be told what to wear in a professional environment.

It all depends on where you are and your LOB. In AZ is see guys in shorts and flip flops. I find it too casual but nobody cares. Heck many of us aren’t even in the same city as our managers so they’d never know.

I do remember the days of having to buy coupons to wear jeans any other day than Friday. At least it went to a good cause. I haven't worn anything but jeans in years lol and the coupon days are long gone. There is no formal dress code anymore so I'm guessing it's business and role specific.

Jeans, sneakers, shirt with a collar (pullover, sweater, polo, occasional button-down shirt if zoom with an executive).
I'm not a stuffy suit nor a slob.
1 person wears a hat, one does shorts in summer only. They stick out.

When I used to go to the office I always wore a button down and slacks. Since Wells started their RTO baloney I refused to dress up and wear jeans and pullover shirt. No tennis shoes, but not dress shoes.
I don’t deal with customers.

Our center has always been non-customer facing and always been told it’s casual. Jeans, shorts tees, sneakers, flipflops all fine. Just not the four B’s (bo--s, butt, belly and back) and you’re fine. We were given warning when a higher up would visit so we could put on at least nicer attire but no warnings for anything for anything other than failing the 4 B’s.

It’s entirely LOB and even building specific. Prior to 2020 shutdown, non customer facing Mortgage/HL employees could wear jeans. Everyone in buildings with major HL presence followed suit. I’ve seen some in tee shirts regularly in summer. One guy on my floor wore hoody and hats all the time but he got laid off. There may be a correlation there.

Ge-z-us! What ever happened to having a little bit of pride in how you present yourself?! If I'm going in to the office, I'm wearing pressed khakis, a button-downed shirt, and leather shoes. Might even bring a dark blue blazer just in case. Jeans and cowboy boots on Fridays...probably topped off with a Hawaiian shirt. Your mileage may vary.

there is no official dress code policy in the employee handbook. Up to your management. Even executives are wearing jeans and a sport coat. when was the last time you saw an executive wearing a tie?

As we already stated previously: it is a free for all. Ive literally seen people in shorts, sandals, pajama pants and sweat pants every other day.

Dress code is certainly dependent upon your LOB. Although, I think many have relaxed post-pandemic if not client facing.

@sie considering they're the only clothes I own since I haven't been required to go into an office but once (to exchange a laptop) in over a decade, the bank will have to pay me for acquiring the bank's required dress code if they want me to wear it.

Until then, I'm wearing all of them, including my Municipal Waste Walls Of Death shirt.

Jeans are ok anytime. Just no tears, rips, holes, etc.
Tennis shoes are supposed to be Friday only unless medical need

We were told sneakers were fine as long as the executives weren’t in town.

You might want to specify your LOB and work environment. I wore business casual for the first year, jeans, sneakers, and t-shirts for the following 20+. I'm in tech, though.

These days, if they ever try to push me back into an office, I'm coming in with metal band t-shirts, basketball shorts, and flip-flops.
