<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 1864926"]What you just said makes no sense. First you say that it is an uninforced rule, and because of that you don't wear them. Then you ask why companies and managers enforce (or try to enforce) the rule. Either it is an enforced rule at your company or it isn't. Again though, what does this have to do with the OP's personal choice to wear them?</p><p><br /></p><p>Do I think pantyhose makes a "damn bit of difference in sales"? No. As long as my reps look professional, I don't care one way or the other. In fact, to be perfectly honest, as long as they are meeting their numbers, I don't care at ALL what they wear. Shit, if you tell me your docs like shorts and a teeshirt, I might be skeptical, but if your numbers back up that assertion, well okay. Don't let HO find out, but I don't care. With that being said, if you have a company rule, and it actually is enforced, AND you choose to ignore it, you are being foolish. If you can present a reasonable explanation to your manager, in a diplomatic way, why you should be exempt from a particular rule, AND you have the numbers to back it up, no reasonable manager is going to argue with you. After all, we don't get paid based on dress code compliance. If however you simply choose to thumb your nose at authority, well, you aren't going to get very far. That isn't a pharma thing, that is a corporate America thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
