I work in government and the legal secretaries make about 60k (the ones working for DA = government). The dress code for us is the dress code for you, @livelaughlove21. Not for me, because I work for a special little branch. I can wear jeans if I want to. I try not to every day, but I can. However, for the majority, it’s supposed to be no tee shirts, no sleeveless, no flip flops. However, there is dispute over what exactly constitutes a tee shirt. Not for me, but for the majority of departments. I work for an organization that represents disputes between employee and management, and even some supervisors are not clear about exactly what defines a tee shirt. We all know we can get “tops” that technically are tee shirts (the Kohl’s type, Liz Claiborne or whatever). However, ball busting bosses can say “that’s a tee shirt” and then there’s a dispute.
I have never heard recently of secretaries, government or non government, around here fetching coffee and bagel for their boss. What secretaries might do (probably would do) is if there’s a conference, they set up the food because that’s not something the attorney would do. But they don’t “fetch” as in “Mary, can you bring me my coffee now?”
