    Yea, even though the official dress code at the office was "business", I showed up in "business casual". I don't think some of the executives approved, but screw them.

    I've actually had followers up to senior management level.

    However, I'll still wear the suit-and-tie when appropriate.

          Ties

          They would have to pay me a lot of money to get me to wear a tie
          This space is empty... or is it?

              Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                  Oh.

                  I prefered my elaborate fantasy world where there are actually paramilitary valets that garrote you if you don't tip.

                      I have never worn a tie. I'm not sure I understand the utility of it.

                        I only wore ties during my previous job - but that was a requirement, I hated it.

                        Now that I am older and in a more professional business, a tie would be quite suitable, but it would have to be a black tie on a white shirt with my sleeves rolled up so that I don't look as if I am a workaholic. (which I am).

                        Rufus, you have finally got me interested, you sound as if you're an old fart and you work in the State Dept of Singapore? What is it you do exactly? It's quite possible I have met you, seen you or will eventually one day.

                          As shown by atomant above, the Australian army does not require ties. This (thankfully) also extends to their civilian office staff.
