Richter7 Employees Take Pants Off

Some people only dream of having casual days at work, days when you can wear shorts and sandals and nobody will care. Well, for us here at Richter7, this is the reality for the next month. A week ago today, we launched our fourth annual “No Pants” policy with ice cream, clothing donations and a special dance number by the Richter7 partners.

During the five weeks of the “No Pants” policy, we are encouraged to wear anything but pants; instead, suggested leg wear can range from shorts and skirts to lava lavas. Whoever is caught wearing pants will be fined one quarter for their treason. No exceptions. During this time, we will also be collecting clothing items to be donated to the Volunteers of America. The needy are usually forgotten during the summer months, and this is our version of a Christmas in July.

Salt Lake City historically registers its hottest days of the year in July and August, with temperatures last year topping 103 degrees. Each day the temperature exceeds 100 degrees, we will hold a “Cool Down” party, providing treats for everyone in the agency.

This past week has been successful, and most have not worn pants. Unfortunately, some have been caught by the “knickerbocker police” and have had to pay up. They were warned. One week down, four to go. Stay tuned for updates on our progress over the next four weeks.
