The parent firm (based in Atlanta) used to represent Coca Cola. They also represented the original Mr. Lay (of Lay's Potato Chips) which was later bought by PepsiCo. (or vice versa). So they stopped representing Coke and became a Pepsi only firm. Ergo, our Coke machines will go and the firm will "officially" not have any Coca Cola products in the office. If you drink it, you bring your own and it's not to be consumed out in a public space if there are clients about (whether or not they are THE client in question). I'm currently searching for a new addition to decorate my cube space, a vintage Pepsi ad with the Joan Crawford endorsment. It will go very well with the Metropolis lobby card presently on display (all the more relavant now).

I'll key in the dress code stuff later. Frankly, unless there is a plan to police it, I can't see how it will be enforced. Hidden cameras? Floor wardens?

In any case, hooray for keeping the job. We'll see what other interesting things develop in the new year. Change is good, but I think some of this is going to be very weird, moving backward.
