So Im looking for opinions because this has just happened.
In my previous role, lock down hit and we all started wfh but in my team I was still in the office a few days a week. Regardless of where you were, it was casual clothing.
The company as a whole is still working in a hybrid system but you are expected to wear business dress as work. This was officially communicated through a company wide email.
My entire department is being run ragged with the amount of workload and management just called a meeting to say that we are now expected to wear business clothes when working from home. To be clear, clients never see us. It's all through email or phone call. Managers however insist on everyone turning on cameras for meetings (which are spur of the moment, never scheduled) So management just wasted 15mins of time with 25 people to tell us that. 6 hours of usable worktime across the team.
Out of curiosity, I looked up the official company policy which stated that if I don't have contact with external guests then I can dress more informally.
So, is this rule enforceable in my department?
