Neck Tie Popularity at All Time Low

[Highland Logan]

I love running into a CEO/CFO or even Jr. Exec. type on a weekday morning... I'm headed out to the beach, shops, museum or movies with the family for fun all comfortable and kilted and he's there with his head in a silk noose, hot and sweating in his standard Brooks Brothers uniform trying to find time to fit a latte or a McHeart-Attackwhich in before a long day of meetings and kissing *** in hopes that he can get some time off to spend with the kids this weekend (if it is his weekend to have them) and maybe make enough to retire (before the cumulative McHeart-Attackwichs kill him) and finally enjoy his life and grandkids in his 70s...and he's thinking HE's got the world by the 'nads!

So you get all of that from seeing a guy in a tie? That's rather generalized, and I think it fair to say that someone might think the same of you when you wear one.

Yeah. You are right...a total generalisation and it is probably all in my head. I escaped corporate Hel, I just assume everyone wants to.

I am just entering corporate "hel" and I love it. I dont think there is anything wrong with a fellow dressing his best for work everyday and looking like a million bucks. When I put on my "Brooks Bros. uniform" I feel energized- like the world is mine for the taking. That attitude helps me press on and get where I would like to go in life, even in intimidating circumstance (meeting Senators and such).

I love wearing ties and always will. I hate that society is gravitating to ULTRA casual. I see it at work everyday now and it makes me ill.

Heh, heh. I've been working as a traditional boatbuilder (Maine trained) for the past 5 years and am now eagerly trying to enter "corporate hell". It seems folks don't need traditional boats (or those who build them) any more. But they sure need network administrators. At least the IT guys that I know don't have to wear ties to work.
