Working with my boss today. The guy toured with the Dead, listens to great music and gives me a pretty long leash. He showed up in a hoody and combat boots. He's a unique character. I like him a lot. Someday, I'll hire him.
If he was customer facing -yes. But I wouldn't have to. He's not an idiot.
Meanwhile here I sit behind two layers of security (I actually badge in four times, but the gate and two doors are technically the same security level) in a room with no windows required to wear business casual solely because it's the corporate policy. Sigh.If he was customer facing -yes.
It's an electric utility control center, so I have to badge into the normal office and then a more restricted access scan into the control area. No searches, thankfully, but the security process is taken very seriously. Teaching in a jail sounds intense. It's pretty casual here, just casual in khakis and a polo instead of jeans and a hoodie.
