Of the people who take off their shoes, 99% of them wear slippers or indoor shoes of some sort. The rest who wear socks don't seem to care about the floor either way. As a sidenote, shoe policy is a really terrible barometer for whether or not to apply to a company, regardless of how little it may have influenced your decision. I can't imagine you actually took it into consideration.
- philsnow 7y ago> shoe policy is a really terrible barometer for whether or not to apply to a company Any kind of behavior that gives me the feeling of kool-aid drinking or brainwashing is absolutely a red flag. The way you describe it (not enforced in any way, not even through peer pressure) is very different from the way I had always read about it (fairly absolutist and you won't be allowed in the building if you don't remove your shoes). If I had heard about it that way, you're right, I would not take it into consideration. Unfortunately I don't have citations handy for the absolutist version of the policy that I had read about.
- ojeggplant 7y agoI'd say every company does kool-aid drinking or "brainwashing" (kind of a strong way of putting it IMO) of some sort. I think most rational people don't take it too seriously, and engage at a minimal level when necessary. Do you have companies in mind that, in your opinion, don't raise any red flags for you in terms of kool-aid drinking? And if you're still looking for a new job, feel free to consider us again! We promise you can keep your shoes on :)
