I could absolutely see a dresscode being enforced heavily if it was seen by the opponent during the match, then a choice of color or style could be done to mess with the opponent, but they sit at a table, the opponent can’t see his pants, as long as the pants would be acceptable for an IT guy in an office, they should be acceptable here
Somehow I doubt a loud tie is banned. This is just arbitrary shit made up by petty tyrants.
Jeans aren’t acceptable attire at any place I’ve done IT work for.
I work in finance IT and have never had any complaints about jeans.
That’s wild. Can’t remember a job I was not working in jeans… usually had a polo but other than that, pretty informal.
You live on the West Coast… This is East Coast elitist bullshit…
Wow I never had a comment about any clothing in my IT jobs and I just wear whatever I would otherwise, almost always jeans in some form for the lower body. Graphic tees, band shirts etc quite often as well. I’d hate to work in a that stuck up environment.
I’ve worked IT jobs that require khakis and it’s equally stupid and pointless.
