An acquaintance worked for IBM in sales when he was just out of the Navy--I'd guess about 1965. He said that one day somebody came into the office in a suit, but with a shirt that was blue rather than white. This made everyone uncomfortable.
- brewdad 9y agoI interviewed in an office once (mid 90s) where dress code required a collared shirt and tie. Managers were required to wear blue shirts and grunts wore white. I didn't take that job offer.
- microtherion 9y agoI'm reminded of Andrew S Tanenbaum's FAQ: http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/home/faq.html http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/home/faq.html Why do you work at a university? When I was in college, I worked at IBM one summer to earn money. One day I wore a shirt that wasn't the right shade of white. My coworkers informed me of my transgression and made suggestions for improving matters. In great detail. That's when I figured out that maybe the industrial experience was not for me.
