Dress Code...

Of the innumerable useless mails that floats around in office, we got a rather interesting one about the dress code policy. All these mails related to any company policy is usually associated by an animated gentleman who calls himself a poilcy pundit. Ironically he was talking about dress code when in all practicality he was wearing nothing except an ear to ear smile.
As if to bring a coherence in his appearance and the content of the mail, I noticed a line which read "When in doubt...DON'T".
DON'T? So was he trying to indirectly motivate all by asking everyone to be comfortable under (only) their skin?
Anyways, ignoring this blunder, the mail enlisted all the Do`s and Dont`s with a footnote that read that each dresscode violation would be fined Rs 200.
Had the punditji being discrete about his description of Fab India/Party shirt/Half shoes/Sandals/Corduroys/Sleeveless floral kurtas/Ritu Beri`s expired labels, the company would have lost out on a big chunk of money as per the following calculation

Total employess=10000
%Violation/per day=20%~2000
Income Lost= 2000*200*365=Rs 14600000/year

I know this is calculation is too far fetched but trust me,that there is a 20% violation on any given day. Besides I also need to some monetary association to cox the enforcers of this policy, to aleast have a glance.

My contention is that ,either you dont make a policy or when you do make any, enforce it with rigour.

What say?
