You want to be paid like a professional? Dress and act like one. You can go to the islands and fly in a polo if you'd like.

Don't mean to attack you but management would love a reason to pay you less. Companies everywhere are doing it. My dad worked at a bank for 35 years. Suit and tie everyday. He was paid to be a professional. The people working the counter, polo shirts. Walk into a bank now. All polo shirts. You think they are getting paid as professionals?

We had a survey here before you got hired. We wanted to keep ties and I'm pretty sure that would still be the consensus. Have pride in what you do, even if management takes you for granted.
