It sounds typical.. I remember during the days of the .com bust, I saw more than one article basically saying that management types were relieved that, with the tight labor market easing, they would once again be able to force employees to wear suits. You could tell some of these people just really weren't comfortable unless they could essentially punish their employees for the heinous crime of being their employees!
I remember when my employer instituted a written dress code for the first time... one of my cow-orkers was a very dapper button-down kind of guy. I figured he'd be all for it, but he said, "I wear a tie because I choose to.. I'll be damned if I'll sit still for somebody telling me to do it!"
