long sleeves and men with relation to their work...

yeah, i understand, it can be so damn frustrating, especially if you are in a hot and humid country like singapore. But dress codes are important too, otherwise people just dress awkwardly, raunchily, etc all in the name of fashion. To maintain the discipline and to create a working environment, dress code should be employed. It is an office, afterall and not a pub or discotheque or some fun place. So, it makes sense. But you have every right to feel that way as you did, but nobody can help it, unfortunately:p And, no, i don't feel the same way as you do, its pretty cool out here in India, seasons keep on changing at regular intervals. I hate long sleeves like you though. p.s; what's the national language of singapore? What religion do most singaporeans practise? Just curious to know.

Here in our office, we do have a uniform or a dress code. Men are required to use long sleeves during Mondays while short sleeves for the rest of the workweek. They aren't really faced with this issue because we are in an airconditioned office. However, when they go outdoors, they have the option to change their uniforms to shirts. But upon going back to work inside the office, they should wear the uniform again. One of my officemates, a senior manager in particular, really hates using the uniform. His reason is that our uniform is uncomfortable to use. I guess the rules should be reviewed in your previous work.

WELL THERE ARE MANY OTHER ADVANTAGES IN wearing long sleeves. your body gets cool and the sweting u face are being absorbed and always keep u afresh . further it gives a look of a gr8 gentlemen and you will be most liked by all . i always wear full sleeves shirt and dresses

In our place there are some companies which demands dress codes with long sleeves shirt and to tuck the shirt in. Actually, I do not like the dress codes for work very much. I think dress code should not be there for jobs unless in the formal meetings or meetings that take place in other companies.
