I just ordered these. They're pretty dam ugly, but they're Tevas and much more acceptable for the office than my old classic Tevas.

Currently wearing cheap light brown canvas sneakers because I just cleaned up my bucks and CDB's.

I could really use some more shoes though...

When I first started working at my current job, I was asked to wear button up or polo shirts. Technically I was an office employee, being an engineer and all. But after ruining every shirt I had because I was constantly working on the shop floor, inside machines, underneath things, crawling in oil filled pits, I just stopped. They haven't said anything yet and it's been about 5 years. I still put a nicer shirt on when I go out to visit a customer or something, but I wear jeans. Unless they spring the trip on me. I'll come into work wearing a tshirt and jeans and they'll tell me "Hey, wanna go visit XY today?"

I'd ask what sciences are legitimate to him, and it'd probably be his shortest post ever.

Well, obviously if it supports intelligent design or the idea than humans can't effect the temperature of the planet, then any degree will do. Elizabethan poetry? You're now a climate scientist with equal status to any other and your opinion can be used in tallies like "most scientists...."

Everyone in my office wears blue polo shirts and khakis. The doctors didn't recognize us as IT employees when we wore business casual, so they mocked up our uniform to resemble the Best Buy uniform. Problem solved.

Surely you could have all just worn nametags?

Hard to read from a distance. I don't know the office environment in question, but any of the hospitals I've been in recently required large badge IDs on lanyards that use about the last third for color coded role text. "MD", "RN", "VENDOR" etc.

yeah as long as you're not visiting clients and just working inside the company itself, as long as your clothes don't fall apart and are reasonable for the work you do it should probably be ok.

I go to work in jeans and a shirt, and change into my uniform in the locker room. I change out when I go to lunch and going home as well. It's just easier traveling incognito. Also, totally feel like a super hero.

We started talking about clothes, how wonderful Smiley: nod It is funny how dress can mark your social standing in a company/group but it can also be very deceiving especially in the IT field.

This made me think of an incident some years ago now when I was working on-site. 3 of us finished for the day, drove to the hotel and walked into the hotel lift. We had been in system rooms all day and were in polo tops and pants. A man walked into the lift behind us in a fairly cheap business suit and he looked down at us before sneering and pressing his floor number. A colleague then swiped his exec floor pass and selected our floor (it was restricted access). The man looked more than a little surprised. He had judged us purely on our dress.

When a doctor can't view his X-rays, he doesn't give a **** about what your name is. All he knows is he needs an IT guy, and there's a dude in a blue best buy shirt so that must be him.

That said, we do have lanyards with our names on them as well. We're still referred to interchangeably by the majority of people (by gender, anyway. There are three guy techs and they are all known to the doctors as "Ken" and there are three girl techs and we are all known to the doctors as "Jenna.")
