I agree, plus it just sets a tone and atmosphere I don't want to work in. Unfortunately, my present employer requires I wear a collared shirt and dress shoes, which I hate. I am much more productive when I can wear whatever I want. It shows, too. Especially when I'm forced to come in on a Saturday but can wear whatever I want; I get so much more done.
