I don’t want to be some white collar stiff. I don’t want to work in a place with ties. I don’t want to be a tie guy. I don’t wear them to weddings, because that’s not me.

Nothing against tie people. It’s just not me.

    I started in the tech world in a suit and tie as a dev for a blue chip.

    As I’ve (begrudgingly) progressed up the shitty ladder, my smart casual has become more casual.

    I can’t remember the last time I wore a tie to work.

    Not even to an interview.

    Maybe there’s some truth in this.

      I used to work with a guy who would wear a shirt and tie to work, and we all assumed something was wrong with him. Everyone else was wearing shorts and flip flops, and here’s this guy in a suit and tie. Why?
