Until someone can prove to me what function a tie serves I refuse to wear one.

Big arrow pointing to your crotch. Mine's bigger than yours etc. Office equivalent of rutting stags.

Wearing a tie means you always have the ability to strangle the $$$$* or hang yourself, whichever outcome is appropriate.

Five places that still demand ties, and five that ban them - BBC News

Last place was "suited and booted" (including ties) as we were on the clients site. The one before was "whatever you wanted", devs turned up to customer meetings dressed in trackies, client was not impressed.

What's a tie?

Seriously, not worn one for years (apart from weddings or funerals). Just a suit, top button undone, clean shoes.

I have long hair which sometimes (randomly) I tie back. Work on the assumption that most clients want someone with the right skillset rather than bothering what they look like (obviously as long as they are clean and appear well-balanced ).

I am techie rather than managerial of course, although I can see how the latter may fair better with a "traditional" dress code

Enterprise services is the old eds. Hardly surprising that they believe suits will solve their more fundamental problem of anyone competent taking one of the 3 rounds of voluntary redundancy

I've worked and contracted in many places where you can wear what you want within reason but most people figure out if you are meeting external clients, unless you are doing a job where you get dirty, to dress smartly.
