What is really wacky is that a former employer expected me to dress in khakis and collars. Now, I don't mind although I have preferred neat jeans and a golf shirt. See, I work in logistics operations. And, that former employer required me to be a work participant moving furniture in the warehouse, in addition to managerial responsibilities and also meeting with clients. Several are the days when I would sweat my kahunas off only to meet with a client that afternoon. Good thing I am VERY charming. BTW - The Marine above could have slipped on untied boots just as quickly as shower shoes. This photo was likely staged. Yeah, I am prior service and yeah I am allowed to say it. JMHO. I agree.

It's not that often that I work from home, but when I do I need to go through the motions as if I were heading into the office - wake up at the same time, shower, breakfast, etc, and put on "work clothes." Why do I do this? Otherwise, it feels like I'm hanging out at home on a saturday morning in my PJs, and my work ethic reflects it. Everyone has their own personal devices to help them focus - one of mine is putting on my "game outfit."

Sarah, I'm with you, yoga pants, tank tops and flip flops! Secret office confession: first thing we do when returning from client meetings - kick off the heels! (btwfyi - office full of women :)). This is why I love what I do (advertising) and where I work (small/mid-sized company), no ridiculous corporate b.s. to sift through like a lame ass dress code. I'd love to see the research that proves a suited up workforce is more productive than a casual, comfortable one. Great post Jason! Now where do I get one of those SM t-shirts? Loves it!

Thanks for the comment. Rich - I've had some similar experiences, although usually by building, not by floor. That's pretty funny. I say what the hell, rock the backwards hat if you're feeling it. Just make sure it's a Bruins hat buddy. Robert - Thanks for visiting. When I was thinking about featuring a company with a laid back culture, I figured Rackspace fit the bill. Great company and love the corporate website. Sounds like your VP of Marketing has you guys pegged!
