IT Workers Worst Dressed Employees

Poorly Dressed Anonymous Coward wrote to mention are article run in the Syndney Morning Herald saying that IT workers have been dubbed the worst dressed corporate employees. From the article: "Help-desk staff were named as the worst offenders, followed by those working in technology start-ups, many of whom had continued to wear T-shirts to work as a consequence of the casual web culture of the '90s. 'The internet is now such a massive industry but people haven't caught up in terms of their dress'."

uhh, screw off ... yes ... SCREW OFF!

[puzzled]

  I work at home. Three days a week. Maybe. I make as much as I did during the so called 'internet boom'. I pretty much wear whatever is in the closet unless I'm seeing customers, in which case its jeans and a button down shirt.

  Right now, if I was inclined to view these so called 'job offers' as anything more than the local equivalent of a 419 scam, I could make a princely $5k - $25k more than I make now ... for taking those two days I now have to myself and spending them dressing up, kissing ass, and in general wasting time. Oh, and they won't like my attitude in six months, and we'll have that whole tiresome "you can't work in this state because of our noncompete" B.S. It *is* just exactly like a 419 scam in many ways.

  This looks like a Slashdot product placement ... but for fashion? Good heavens the clothing industry must be *desperate* to be trolling here. My fashion statement for the rest of 2005 might be some new underwear if I happen to get near the mall. Maybe. Unless global warming really kicks in and I can go without :-)
