Swiss precision applied to a dress code for bankers

Swiss precision applied to a dress code for bankers

What do you think is appropriate "Professional Dressing" for Bankers? If at all you wish to draft a set of rules or frame a dress code, how long would that be? If you're under the impression that such a dress code should not be more than a maximum of a page or two, think again.

Apparently, there are some "experts" who feel that it is entirely within the realms of reasonableness to come up with a 40+ page BOOK of Dress Code.

That's right - I did mention that the dress code that I'm referring to runs to more than 40 pages.

The famous Swiss Bank UBS has just come up with a "Dress Code" for its staff. Do take a look:

Believe it or not, we're not talking about school kids, but about seasoned, mature, intelligent adults - many of them with a few years of experience to boot!

And still, UBS deems it fit to come up with very specific rules about the entire gamut of dress that's apt / taboo for both men and women.

The rule book actually covers (but is not restricted to):

  • Shoes
  • Socks
  • Underwear
  • Glasses
  • Nail Polish
  • Ties

And, as a clarification, I must mention that these rules were not issued as a joke on any "April Fool's Day" - They were indeed meant to be followed and enforced!!!

Would any of you be interested in:

  • A job at UBS? Or even, ... ... ...
  • Being a customer of UBS, if you're going to be greeted by virtual photocopies of robotic individuals who are all forced to "Look alike"???

Think about it!

Regards,
