I hate wearing a freaking tie to work!
Why don't ties ever go out of style? They have been around in some form or another for like 500 years. Maybe we should start wearing powder wigs to work as well.

I don't know why some people require ties still either.
I think a nice pair of pants and a nice shirt and matching shoes is plenty good enough, without having a stupid tie strangling me..

On some alternative universe there is a dress code for regular businessmen to wear thongs. Be happy with the ties.

Move to the West Coast and work for a tech firm. I haven't worn a tie to work, ever; my usual dress code is jeans + tshirt, unless it's hot out, when it's shorts and flip flops.

Silly young people and their idealistic, alternate world scenarios. T-shirts and flip-flops. Pfft. Next thing you'll be complaining about is "Why can't I just work from home?" and "I"ve been at this company for TWO MONTHS; how come I don't have a week of paid vacation?"

The American standards of professional dress and appearance dictate a tie and jacket (not necessarily a matched jacket/pants, but that's preferable.). It just give a more professional image. You have to look the part too, not just be good at what you do.

Suck it up. Ties are manly and make you look distinguished if worn properly. Don't like wearing a tie everyday? Try a different type. Perhaps a bowtie (a real one, not that clip-together bullshit) would work.

If it had a collar, I might let it go. But it doesn't, so home you go. :colbert: I won't have you sitting in my office looking like that. This isn't your dorm room, it's a place of business. ;)

Also, there's always this

You keep missing the point. Why don't ties go out of style already? It's a over priced piece of cloth tied to my neck like a freaking noose.

I never wear a tie to work. I can't remember the last time I saw someone here with a tie on in fact. I barely even wear one for interviews.

We lost the tie requirement where I work a few years ago, still have to wear a shirt with a collar though, and no shorts, but I'm content :)

I love wearing ties, but I get funny looks and snide comments when I wear them. Plus I look like a hipster..

I want to work with Don Draper.. :-(

You list your location as "in the server room". There is NO FUCKING WAY I would wear a suit/tie while racking servers. That's fucking ridiculous.
