Rejected petition Stop the enforcement of formal dress code at work.

Office work requires no reason aside from looking like an office worker to wear formal attire. It adds time to my life getting ready for work I could be spending with my son. I'd be more comfortable in my own clothes and likely be more productive. If I chose, I could still wear a suit for meetings.
