dress code
Telecom giant’s decision is part of plan to “increase the independence and productivity of each individual employee.”
Women in Japan are often required to wear heels for job hunting and office work, but the #KuToo movement wants to squash that part of the dress code.
The rule is supposed to be for everybody, but it’s really only the girls who have to follow it.
Easing of uniform rules is a welcome change for heroic rescuers who put their lives on the line.
Because nothing promotes a healthy learning environment like traumatizing students with scissors in front of their peers.
Eighty-four percent, apparently, is the magic number. And there I was thinking it was three all this time.
When we brought you the news last year that 84 percent of Japanese women said that not wearing an undershirt to work was “totally gross and, like, we can see your nipples, ewwwwww…”, little did we expect that some eighteen months later, a completely separate survey – this time with seven times as many participants – would not only confirm a general freaking-out about male summer nipple protrusion, but also come up with – get this – exactly the same number of non-nipple-showage fans: 84 percent.
This time, though, there’s a but. We should’ve known! There’s always a but.
