From the article: 'I remember when I first started at Apple they had a picture in the training class of some guy in flip-flops, shorts, and a tropical shirt in a decorated cube with a goofy grin, the message being: it's casual. One fellow even went as far as pushing that to the reasonable limit by showing up to work every day for several months in a bathrobe and sandals (and shorts). I don't recall a word ever being said. I think he actually just gave up because no one said anything.'"

Guys like me did help. A lot. Amicably and well for years. At the end of it, the abuse by people that didn't care to treat us as human made it impossible to stay friendly or caring. Rather than subject people do it, I took off.

Read the article with the understanding that it's someone venting after leaving. It's easier to not pick up misunderstandings.
