#Person1#: Did you see the way that Mirella came to work yesterday? Ever since she came back from that conference in Silicon Valley, she's been coming to work dressed in jeans and sweatshirts. It's like she's decided to make herself at home in her office. I don't know how long it'll take before the management talks to her about it.
#Person2#: She was really influenced by the way they do things on the west coast. I guess the working atmosphere is a lot more relaxed and casual in California. It comes from the information technology industry. . there isn't such a large division between home and office, so people want to work in the clothes they feel more relaxed in.
#Person1#: Maybe so, but it seems kind of strange, which the rest of us in white shirts, dark suites, and ties.
#Person2#: It's not as bad as that. . . We are allowed to wear more casual jackets and trousers. Besides, didn't you hear what Mirella found on her desk this morning?
#Person1#: What's that?
#Person2#: Management decided to give her four brand new white dress. That's their way of telling her that her new style of dressing down is not quite acceptable.
