My outfit is 1950's reactionary. If it weren't for my age and difficulty moving on, I would switch. There are some benefits that I enjoy that are hold overs from the past also. Absolutely no swearing is allowed, not even an 'Oh my God!' Everyone has to be tidy, recented showered and very neat in appearance. No computer geeks in sweaty t-shirts.

We still have a proper break room with coffee and hot tea served in china cups with saucers! Basic snacks are provided for free. I know that doesn't make up for the dress code. And someone to do the clean up and run the dishwasher.

The highest level executive secretaries get 2 hours off on Friday to get their hair done! They all dress very well and always have good make up and hair.

Raises are hard to come by. The Christmas bonus has not increased in 20 years. It is so much per year of employment. The early retirement option for all (used to be for women) is 62.

The good and the bad. Could be worse elsewhere.
