Friday Casuals


I was just at the ASIC office for a meeting, and the counsel there apoplogised for being decked out in open necked blue shirt and khaki’s. “Friday’s casuals”, he said. I miss that. To just dress in khakis and a shirt. It was like that in that fun law firm in KL I worked in, it was also like that in that investment bank I was last in (my last job in Malaysia). In this suburban firm, it is still the old suit and tie, even on Fridays. I once read somewhere however, that casual attires actually drove down productivity. So maybe this suburban firm knows a thing or two the city folks dont.
