I pretty much agree with both of you, Dorothy and Susan. I, too, read Mr. Malloy's book probably 25 years ago. While some of the particulars may have changed, the concept is much the same. I agree that some of the tc request was a bit over the top. I NEVER wear dresses to work, mostly because I'm more comfortable in slacks, but I almost always wear a jacket or something that reflects that type of look. (And makeup and panty hose are a habit I got into many years ago, but that's me. I don't think they should be required.)
I have worked in an HR department and for some pretty large, conservative companies. This sounded like it was written by someone perhaps well-intentioned but very uninformed. It's probably the most poorly written dress code I've ever seen. HOWEVER, I do feel that how we dress is very important - I've even had some borrowers comment to me on how poorly dressed some other notaries have been. They, after all, are in their own home and should feel free to dress however they please (as long as they ARE dressed! Puhlease!!)
