>>Be glad you didn’t work in the development office of a bank in the 1990s, you’d be expected to wear a suit and tie to work.

Priorities matter.

I worked for a India IT services firm that mandated neck ties. They would even enforce it with fines.

Eventually we saw the whole company had been reduced to these cosmetic pedantry about neck ties, badge-in/out times etc.

Nobody every got anything done, because this was all that was left of their ideas to make the company win.

Were bow ties acceptable? What about Bolo ties?
