Figure since my manager peers don't have an issue with their staff wearing flip-flops around the office, they won't have an issue looking at my bare feet.

Wish me luck!

It'd be just fine here.

Hell, I feel overdressed when I'm wearing pants.

Going barefoot is cool - for the person doing it. For everyone else, it's like "WTF is wrong with this guy?"

Personally, I think not wearing shoes is great and I wish walking areas were equipped with things to make going barefoot easier.

This post is not a joke. Unlike the other ones in this thread.

Good luck. I just started at a new place, one of the managers is barefoot 15% of the time the rest is sandals. One of the employees walk around in his socks lol.

Do you work at a hemp processing plant in Canada?

Kind of did that a couple years ago.

I wore runners shorts with my dress shirt, black socks and black dress shoes. Forgot what point I was trying to make with that. lol.

as another individual in public accounting, why does it matter if someone wears flip flops? 98% of the time we are chained to our desk anyway. especially now for those working on the 9/15 or 10/15 deadline.

Then why not shorts or swimwear?

there has to be a line somewhere. The company decided the line was flipflops don't belong in the workplace. I agree with this stance.

Plus, I'm not in Public Accounting, I work as a controller in the shared services unit of a major company, so we get many outside folks that come and tour the place. You have to live up to your customer's expectations.

In any case, my point was lost as everyone broke up laughing and started taking pics with their cellphones after I plopped my feet up on the meeting table.

I often go without a bra . . . but I do keep some panties in my pocket . . . to sniff.

that wouldn't even be news in my office

I bet out of the 20 or so people in the building, 5 aren't wearing shoes right now. And I know for sure 2 are wearing fuzzy slippers.

One girl here has huge bunny slippers she wears around the office from time to time.

I prefer an environment that's focused on the work I'm doing instead of how I compare to this month's GQ.

I can see your point, especially since it is company policy. at my work they see it as, if an employee can't follow this policy what else are they not following correctly.

for me though it is a small battle that won't win any friends so I would have passed on fighting the fight.
