Only in America. Qwest acquired with the completion of its merger with US West last month. After Nacchio rolled up his starched white shirtsleeves to make Qwest's cozy commercials promoting the revamped company, one of the first orders of business was to further define its dress code for old and new employees alike. Valued customers and suppliers visit our offices frequently. In order to present a professional company image and working atmosphere, Qwest relies on employees to maintain a clean and neat business-like appearance by dressing according to personal taste while at the same time avoiding extremes not appropriate to a business environment.
Employees also have a responsibility to keep their work environment neat and clean.
These guidelines are not all-encompassing and therefore good judgement on your part as to the appropriateness of business office attire is needed. When in doubt, check with your supervisor before wearing. To maintain a professional appearance, it is recommended that foot stockings be worn at all times. This may include socks, hosiery, tights, knee-highs, or other foot stockings.
