Obviously my code will go and the team can revert to the company code.
Colleague A has saved my job which I suspect a decent majority on here feel I should have lost.
Firstly my comments in the first post were not acceptable and embarrassing/disrespectful
Secondly thanks to all who have provided input
I understand what you were trying to do by enforcing some sort of 'smart' code and that is fine, but as you've found out it has to be a company wide thing and you cannot say things like 'short skirt' without coming across as a complete sexist idiot.Colleague A has saved my job which I suspect a decent majority on here feel I should have lost.

Hopefully the training will help.

Turned out as I thought.
Gosh.If only the OP could have consulted you at the beginning. It would have saved all this consternation.
, my comment was for the OP. He did ask for advice by starting the thead and I offered. This thread was slightly sad in that the OP asked for help and actually got a load of insults and suggestions that his future was a P45 and ruined career. Way above and beyond leg pulling IMHO.
Business does not always work like that and often a sensible approach is the one that works best for all. But you would know that, having read and understood the thread.

It is a very minor issue, no one has left, no one has lost a contract, no one has been sacked, no one has not been employed... and the original complainent has attempted to tone down her complaint to HR but HR will go through the process, it is their job afterall.
Seems a little education and a shift of attitudes is required from the OP yes....
... general point of learning current acceptable standards of attire for his department, repeated to the company as whole, with updated clarification in the Staff Handbook is required..

The OP needs to learn more than "acceptable standards of attire". He needs to move his head away from the Neanderthal place where it was previously located. There are signs above that he may do so.
See: "Neanderthal"? 
This thread really pressed your buttons BV, I wonder why!Businesses need people like the OP, by his own adminission organising a sucessful and on the face of it friendly and close team. That the OP absolutely needs to modernise, be more proffessional, is not in question. As he is an employee of a large business this should have been picked up and dealt with as part of his development a long time ago. At least the immediate future is in his hands, he has been told and he can make his choices.
We have no evidence save the OP's assertions that he is a good manager, and the only concrete instance we have of him managing is the crass error that led to this discussion. He thought that women were there to be decorative. He may be changing his view now, and that would be a good thing.
