NO uniform in my department, but a dress code. Guys in the shop can buy into a uniform service through Cintas.. were blue long sleeve shop shirts and navy blue pants, they switched to grey shirts recently. Considering how nasty some of our manufacturing processes are, I expect the uniforms save a lot of relationships and cleaning bills.
To make things easy, I bought into the uniform policy, and get four button down blue or white broadcloth shirts a week, laundered and pressed. I keep some Jerry Garcia ties in my desk, and wear my personal uniform of khaki pants. Yes.. it's the prototypical professional nerd uniform.
And yes, I don't put on a tie unless I'm going to see a customer. The damn computer doesn't care what I look like. I HATE the damn ties. I wore a suit and tie for almost 2 decades, and was glad to get rid of that. I only wear a suit to weddings and funerals.
