Metadot Dress Code

Metadot is an entirely remote workplace, but still aims to create a unique and fun approach to work attire. Another goal was to break down the “Groundhog Day” effect that typically starts to happen in a remote environment when people are not leaving their homes daily to attend a physical workplace. At Metadot we have specific days of the week that have known themes and expectations, while still allowing the freedom to dress comfortably and appropriately in the remote setting.

Monday​

The “Green Delivery”​

Each member of the team wears the color green in the morning meeting to symbolize the completed tasks on the “Sprint” spreadsheet

  • Green indicates the progress the individual has made completing tasks from the week prior.
  • Green = Completely finished and quality checked all tasks = DONE. This is the beginning of the week, so Metadot aims to keep Monday’s exciting and celebrated, a way we do this is through our Green dress code
  • The green dress code allows for employees to be creative with how they choose to wear the green, and show individuality. While also building team spirit as everyone is collectively participating in the system

Tuesday - Thursday​

The clothing choice for these days is simply up to the individual but has basic expectations for appropriateness

Looking Presentable

  • Hair brushed, t-shirts, pollos, casual button-ups, etc. No holes in shirt, bare shoulders or pajama tops It is encouraged to wear appropriate clothing on the bottoms, even though this part of the outfit may not be visible
  • This simple dress code requires that people are still maintaining self-care in times of remote work, and are keeping up with basic hygiene: showering, brushing teeth, doing laundry, etc.

Friday​

Elegant Friday​

This means that on Fridays, each member of the team dresses in formal attire. We like to start our weeks strong, and end them stronger. When we look our best, we perform our best, and we see our formal attire as a way to celebrate the hard work that we have accomplished this week as individuals and as a team. Elegant Fridays are the opposite of the traditional workplace's "Casual Friday." At Metadot, we like to be unique and do things differently than other companies, when they zig, we zag.

  • Men are expected to wear button-ups and ties. Women are expected to either wear a dress, pant-suit or button-up blouse
  • A fun activity that employees can look forward to, and an excuse to get ready for something which is rare in times of quarantine

Special Occasions​

If an invidual is attending an event or a virtual meeting with someone outside of the company, we wear business casual. Even though we are remote, we want to demonstrate our professionalism regardless of the setting.
