The City of Modiin Ilit has published its tzniyus rules for its employees. The list of rules is interesting.
Some are making a big deal of their demand that women sit in the back of any transportation vehicles. I'll skip that for now as I find other items in the list far more interesting.
Some of the items include:
* male and female employees not talking to each other at all after work hours, even about work-related issues
* even during work male and female employees should not talk to each other about anything other than work-related issues
* male and female employees should not call each other by their personal names but only by family names, preferably with honorifics, such as Mr Mrs Rabbi, etc
* a manager wishing to praise an employee for a job well done can praise the work but not the person
* families of employees cannot get together- no shared meals or trips together, etc.
* no providing any service or favor for another employee, not including if it is someone's turn to do something for the entire office or department, etc
* women should not go to work in nice clothes but only in regular clothes that adhere to the rules of the halach
* if someone makes a simcha unless the entire office is invited, any specific invited employee should not attend (even with his or her spouse, even if the event is completely gender-separate)

they are basically taking away the humanity of the people and the work-place. No talking, no doing favors, no sharing simchas, etc
