Hope this isn't too far out for you...just a thought - What's the big deal about dressing up? Do you truly feel strongly that it is somehow compromising your values, morals, or integrity? If so, then simply don't do it. But I wouldn't try to make more of it than it really is.

I have no problems with dressing up....
My problem is with the fact that they're...
1 - Not giving you a choice, because if you don't, you'll be punished in a way.
2 - In making fun of other people for not dressing up, they are going against the official motto that they have stapled up all over the place, not to mention in their employee handbook.
3 - I'm going to feel badly, when some of my co-workers don't dress up, and are put up on stage for everyone to see. I know one co-worker that is beyond shy, and this will put her into tears if they force her up there.
Really, what it all comes down to is # 2. I have strong moral code that you should treat people the same way you want to be treated.
