The user shared the post with the caption, “We had casual fridays for the first 6 months i was here. Then, they changed it to formals/traditional on fridays and i was like, okay. Most of us wear formals, including me (i just don’t have simple indian wear and do not want to invest in any). They send this mail today and i lost it is this even legal?”

How are social media users reacting?

The viral Reddit post has grabbed immense attention online. One person wrote, “Not legal, but they are tricky with the way they’re subtly forcing you to pay to CSR contributions”, and another commented, “Bro even better tell you are from tribal and shock them with your attire. They will immediately revoke the policy and give you 500 rupees for getting new attire.” Out of all the advice, one stood out as unique. It was about wearing a kimono to the office, which is a traditional Japanese attire.
