Ties In The Workforce
Read an interesting article today about ties in the workplace and wonder if we will ever get to the point of not needing them. I mean sure, they look "professional" I suppose, whatever that means. However, more and more corporations are getting rid of the policy with some legal experts saying that it may be a form of discrimination.
Some are now saying that it may even be bad for your health.
Anyway, I am not harmed by wearing them but would love the option to ditch it, so any way to get it done is fine by me. lol
Article link for reference.
Here's why Lancaster's mayor wants workplaces to be necktie-optional

Female pilots can choose between ties AND those weird bow things. If anything, I feel discriminated against. Where’s my little bow thing?
Neck ties can lower blood flow to the brain...Jesus it’s not a noose. How tight are some of y’all making these things? 😂

I would t mind having polos and slacks for a summer uniform to be honest and keep the shirt and ties with blazer for the winter.

Personally I think a clean technical fabric polo that keeps the user cool and sweat free looks more professional than someone doing a walk around in 110 degree heat in a hat, blazer, long sleeve shirt and black pants and coming into the cockpit sweaty and smelly.
