You want to do drugs, sex, rock-n-roll is totally your business! But this is a question of being a little responsible, professional & mature. No one in office says a word if you turn up all 'pink' to work...but if you've got a client meeting scheduled the next day, or even more importantly a presentation, I think any mature, responsible adult would refrain from showing up with Holi colors still on. I think professionalism demands that much.<BR/><BR/>@Moonshine - If I were him, I wouldn't have gone to play Holi either if I knew I had a presentation the next day. B/c once people start playing, there's no stopping them!Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909702073286784203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234679178553337123.post-27585432028182090122009-03-12T21:37:00.000+05:302009-03-12T21:37:00.000+05:30If i were the boss, i think i would have a couple ...If i were the boss, i think i would have a couple of things to say to the person!!! Thats extremely unprofessional. I think wearing jeans to a meeting is unprofessional, forget reaching for presentation all colourful and that too when you are presenting!!!! How unprofessional!!! If i were him, i wouldnt have gone.. esp knowing people are going to do such things!!!!!! <BR/><BR/>Its like someone saying i reached late because AR Rahman won an oscar / India won the match etc!!!!Moonshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112996795287324549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234679178553337123.post-54880042881819712122009-03-12T15:26:00.000+05:302009-03-12T15:26:00.000+05:30what we do with our lives on off days is really so...what we do with our lives on off days is really something that shouldn't concern the people we work with.<BR/><BR/>This being India, people are aware that when it's Holi, people will play with colour.<BR/><BR/>It is not something that happens often - only once a year.<BR/><BR/>If they are unwilling to take this into consideration and let it slide that the person presenting the... presentation is 'pink', it only shows their inability to accept people who are not like themselves. Is that not a step towards - put the company before your needs, no exceptions (facism?)?<BR/><BR/>That beiong said, I don't think your colleague tried hard enough to stay un-pink. He should have protested some more if he was that serious about not getting colour on his face.Ashwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302025842729882744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8234679178553337123.post-76538624769113938022009-03-12T14:52:00.000+05:302009-03-12T14:52:00.000+05:30I remember that this was a big concern in school. ...I remember that this was a big concern in school. The scrubbing took as much time as the actual Holi playing.<BR/>Was foxed a bit by the office question. By the same logic one can come in for a mtg in shorts without brushing his teeth!Kalyan Karmakarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552556294198718249noreply@blogger.com
