Will the tie role ever leave the majority of jobs

Trampas

More a male subject than female but will the tie ever die in the work place or even the formal dress code.

Not on about everyone working in whatever they grab that morning.

Just seems like it’s such a last century mindset that you need to booted and suited to do your job. Even in positions behind closed doors.

I no more places are losing the tie but will it be the small minority in 5-10 years?

Friends work in a financial institution where they have casual dress, only need to wear a shirt when meeting clients face to face

In many IT and finance roles, ties are already gone. Try not working in a customer-facing role.

London finance was pretty funny in my experience, the non-skilled staff (brokers) are very serious about their ties but the skilled staff (quants) would wear bermuda shirts+shorts. All depends on where you work - the places that insisted on stupid dress codes for non-customer facing roles seem to be having problems retaining and recruiting techinical stuff tho.

Over 10 years in finance, never worn a tie.

In my current role, a lot still wear shirts and slacks, but polo shirts and jeans are fine. Just don't look scruffy or come in in a tracksuit and there'll be no issues really

I work in a big 4 accounting firm and we don't have to wear ties with the last few years. Historically it wouldve always been full suit and tie.

Same here.

I work in IT.

If I came into work with a tie on I would get strange looks. But to be fair in a past role I was told to save my bread, hair and stop wearing jeans and t shirts.... This was a none facing people role.

While now in my job were I face people I just wear jeans with a shirt or t shirt and fancy runners or boots.

It's not about how you dress its about how you work.

A formal dress code is pretty mad in 2018.

Instead, we have "office casual" dress codes, which are different, but can be just as prescriptive.

In software companies, more so west coast US companies based in Dublin it's gone too far. Shorts, sandles...etc is common place.

Work in IT industry where standard uniform, is jeans, hoody, trainers and some t-shirt you picked up at a conference.
Several of my colleagues are in shorts with the weather being good recently. I interviewed for this job dressed like I do every day. We jokingly refer to people who show up in full suits for interviews as insurance salesmen
