Question

Which of the following cases would be least likely to result in a manager creating an exception in a company's dress code.

A. Sam wants to wear jeans to work because he finds dress pants uncomfortable.

B. Lila wants to wear a headscarf to work for significant religious reasons.

C. Jimmy wants to wear sneakers to work because he has a foot injury that makes wearing shoes painful.

D. Felicia wants the company to allow all employees to wear casual clothing on Fridays.

This is for accounting.

Answer 1

A, Sam wants to wear jeans to work because he finds dress pants uncomfortable.

Assuming this is in the United States, Lila would have the religious freedom to wear her headscarf. Jimmy's foot is injured, and therefore his foot needs special attention and care. Also, Jimmy will stop wearing sneakers to work after his foot recovers. In Felicia's proposal, all employees will be wearing casual clothes on Fridays, not just one specific person. Sam wants to wear jeans just because he finds them uncomfortable. He's not injured, protected by religious freedom, or affecting all the employees. It's just an exception for him. Therefore, the answer is A.
