I looked at my kids, and thought, it it REALLY worth it to get fired over sandals? During a peaking economy, it wouldn't have mattered. I'd get another job in a few weeks. But now, it is too dangerous. So I wear almost real shoes (lots of ventilation), and get dressed up for client meetings. I've made a point to be replacable. Being promotable also means being fireable. It goes both ways. And while I may perform SO well that it would be foolish to fire me over dress, it still may make business sense if I am a bad example. And in this case, a bad example is someone that others point to and say: Why should I listen to you (the boss), he doesn't (me). Of course, I still take the shoes off and walk around in my socks!

I attempt to accept that which I don't understand, and wait out the assholes. So far I've dealt with the major reorgs and came out ahead of the game, and see a future of more upheavals. I am IN the system, so I have to work with it.
