Just dug out an email exchange with a senior manager at Yahoo! in 2007.
Me: "Should I start ransacking the flat trying to find the suit I haven't seen in two years, or is that unnecessary?"
Yahoo: "Definitely don't bother looking for that suit. We won't be wearing one and it might make you look a bit out of place "Comment

Suited and booted for the interview. Check out what other people are wearing in the building while walking around and dress like them on the first day (today its fart stained pale brown trousers with grey desert boots with lime green soles and an old rockabilly style shirt)“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

I have also been known to wear a dress to work in protest at women wearing trousers. If the girlies this year wear as much revealing clothes as last year then some people are going to be in for a shock.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Black jeans for me (to at least pretend to make an effort) along with whatever top suits the weather forecast/aircon setup, rarely a shirt though, don't like 'em.
Day 1 is always full suit. From then on, I'll wear what I fckin fancy.Last edited by Durbs; 4 June 2013, 21:11.Comment
