Apparently a couple of bus companies are banning men from wearing shorts. Now if the union was to find out that wearing skirts were ok......

When those who make the rules have to work in the same conditions that they impose on others, their common sense will change.

That's a nice thought, sir, but I fear that it's not likely to happen any time soon. When was the last time you actually witnessed a "policy maker" in situations even remotely close to "real world" circumstances? It's not terribly common. (Just as in "Common sense is anything but.")

Have to agree with Carl on that one. Once policy makers/rule makers get in the position of being
able to make rules, they
KNOW they are never going to have to abide by them. ie: Boss speaking here>> I have a different set of guidelines than you do, so don't question the orders you get if you want to continue working here.
As long as theres a much bigger work force than jobs, I don't think that's going to change. And unfortunately you can't really bring them to task. They'll just make up some
OTHER reason to fire you..
