I worked for EDS in the 90's and had to wear a suit and tie daily.

Of course that was after they relaxed the 'no facial hair' rules.

Like fedoras - it's never coming back. No one wants the discomfort of a suit and tie, the expense of that wardrobe (no longer explicitly comp'd by employers), or the dry cleaning bills.

I'm not sure when hats bit the dust. Some suggest that images of JFK, who rarely wore a hat, had a lot to do with killing that standard. My father was no fashion horse - and lagged far behind the times, giving up hats in the early 70's.

I remember my first day at EDS when I took off my suit in the cafeteria to eat. I was quickly advised to put the coat back on.

Never again! They will pry my golf shirt and khakis from my cold, dead fingers.

and the short military haircut?

Yeah, I remember that.

Not in my company. We have casual friday..but the rest is business casual. And they occasionally re-send the dress code through the email to remind us.
