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

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.

I remember those days too.

We were allowed to take our jackets off while in our cubicle, but we had to put it on when going to the cafeteria. The food (Marriot Services) wasn't good enough to justify going through all of that anyway.

It is odd that they were only forcing you to put the coat back on! Hopefully the AC wasn't turned to low.

I have a coworker who, when going through the EDS interview process ordered a scotch neat when he went out to lunch with his two "handlers". When they informed him that "at EDS we don't drink at lunch" he looked back at the waiter ans said "make it a double"

I also used to work for EDS back in the day, in fact most people I know have worked for EDS. We call it "Parris Island for IT."

I remember one October 31, a group of GM engineers came to work wearing suits and ties to the Halloween party. When asked what they were dressed up as, they said, "EDS workers!" They won the prize for "most scary costume."

LOL - When I began working I wore fancy dresses, high heels, and GLOVES! OMG, I can't stop laughing now! That's too funny!
