    [People] How do you dress for work?

    How do you dress for work? Long sleeves and tie perhaps
    or do you get to wear your own clothe or maybe company uniform?

    I typically wear dress pants and a shirt and tie. Even in our conservative state of Virginia we are seeing other professions lower the dress code. I think this can be a good thing because I am sick and tired of ruining so many clothes. My grandfather started our company after he worked for IBM and Remington Rand over 60 years ago and the dress code just stuck around.

    With our other techs, I only suggest some form of dockers, etc. and a shirt with a collar.
    I thought I was getting wiser as time went on... I now realize I am just getting older.

      In the wintertime I just fall out of bed, put on a sweatsuit and walk across the hall to the office. Summertime I usually just wear a pair of shorts and socks no shirt.

        Company supplied dress shirts with embroidered logo, short sleeve, no tie. Khaki (sp?) type pants.

          We all wear suits

            I always wear jeans, and usually a shirt or a polo shirt. I never use tie, and plainly refuse to. Only time I used it was at my wedding, and I'm still trying to remember how she conviced me to - ripped it off as soon as I left the church.

              Dockers or decent jeans. Dress shirt or golf shirt...as long as it has a collar. If I had to wear a tie I'd better be gettin paid dam good $$$!

                  Convinced you to do what? Wear a tie or marry her?

                          Johnny Cash wannabe.
                          Black "Dickies" work shirt long sleeve, black pants, black socks, black shoes. The tie disappeared in 1994. When I know I've got a color machine PM the next day I wear the waste-toner-brown dress pants, perfect for spilling color waste toner on. I've got three pairs just the right shade of brown. Honestly I can't be sure they started out that color ... =^..^=
                          If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                          1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                          2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                          3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                          4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                          5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                            Company logo polo and khakis. "Business casual" I suppose.
                            I will not give you service manuals or firmware.

                              jeans and a sweatshirt in the winter and jeans and a colored tshirt in the summer
                              Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
