Dress Code---HR at work?

Gina, a humor in the workplace student, presents this memo based upon an actual discussion with HR:

"We would like to encourage everyone to dress according to their salary.

If we see you wearing very expensive shoes from well known designers or, for example, sporting a Louis Vuitton purse we will have to assume that you are financially well off and that you don't need a salary raise.

On the other hand, if you dress poorly, we will understand that you are having problems managing your money and need to learn how to manage it better and to avoid stressing you more, we won't increase your salary either

Finally, wearing average clothing will mean to us that you are working at the right place with no necessity of a better salary."

Once again we note that a logic deficiency does not preclude employment in HR.
