choffer Posted February 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2012 I don't wear a suit to work, but if it was the status quo, I'd be more than happy to. It's about fostering a professional environment, and for me, my office is far too relaxed and people don't always click into work mode as a result of this. Totally agree. I remember in an old job that "dress-down Friday" was the least productive day of the week by a country mile. People came to work in a casual state of dress and brought with them a casual approach to working on that particular day. Used to drive me crackers. My most recent job had no dress code and you'd see directors turning up in shorts and flip-flops - least productive company I've ever worked at.

Eames Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I will only wear a suit if I'm in Court or at a meeting with important County type folks. Otherwise its trousers, shirt and shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunRickyRun Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Yeah, nothing like a good suit. I wish I had the money to buy a flash one. Get them online in the sales (Flannels and Yoox are always good) then visit a tailor to get them properly fitted. Etro is a great make to go for.

kidlewis Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 the way Youtube removed the ability to just look at the latest videos uploaded to the website. you could find some funny, weird videos but also be the first to get onto the trends as well.

villa4europe Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I can't have wearing an open neck shirt, if you are going shoes, trousers and shirt I have to stick a tie on or I feel really uncomfortable Where I worked previously was smart casual, I hated that with a passion, I was 18/19 my idea of smart casual wasn't the same as most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't the job I was referring to but I did do some work up at JLR about ten or twelve years ago and they'd push British Gas pretty close on the productivity front :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted February 22, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 22, 2012 The car radio. I never ever have it on. Talk radio infuriates me because it's usually some prick of a politician justifying the latest way to screw a subset of the population while the interviewer doesn't ask the difficult questions that are blatantly sitting there in front of him. And as for music radio. Well, the charts are gone to shite and even if you do get a good song, you won't get enough of them on a ~40 minute jouney and I'm **** if I'm gonna spend my time searching the radio stations every 4 minutes for a song that I don't hate. So, I leave it turned off. After all, there's enough shit drivers on the road to keep my blood pressure high enough without having the radio push it even further.
