We're not longer allowed to wear shorts when it's below 60 outside. Because we had people wearing them on calls when it was single digits.

So now we have an official policy on it.

I’ve never understood that. Who the hell cares if I’m wearing shorts when it’s cold out.

That’s if I could wear shorts. We’re not allowed to at all. 😭
