I’ve never had a job where I had to wear a Suit and Tie everyday and I never will, its an outdated idea and aside from my making me feel like a corporate whore, and if you are allowing me to get melodramatic a little bit here – tie’s strangle your sole.
So when I opened my Springleap newsletter today I was pleased to read that they’ve team up with P.A.S.T. (People Against Suits and Ties) to design a shirt for Casual Day. Brilliant a combination of two of my favourite things – crowdsourced t-shirts and rebellion. If the prize was kids candy and not 5000 SA Rand (about $629), that’d be all three of my favourite things. Still that would buy a lot of kids candy.
Here is an quote from P.A.S.T.’s manifesto
“Are we not just a bunch of uniformed prisoners, stacked and ranked against each other in a sea of grey, homogenised conformity – worker dogs, leashed to the fascist state of corporate rule?
Is it not the truth that collars are for dogs and that suits are merely the stifling uniforms of an archaic order of servitude?”
And some contest info:
“We believe that the tie is a noose around democracy’s neck.”
