I'm slowly breaking them and so far I've ditched the tie and polished shoes but there's still a fair way to go.
I do have a one on one meeting with my CEO coming up.. I might have a chat about how little it matters whether or not my shirt has buttons or otherwise when I'm not front facing
Hot desking....
Been doing that for years
And a standup desk as well
READ AND UDESTAND
Best thing is despite being in Auckland only a 15/20 minute drive to/from work and I can leave early to avoid traffic and work from home.
Not so good is the client is a large US tech firm going thru fiscally tight times.
I do have to wear a suit from time to time but have ditched the tie.
DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
Maintenance team leader
Best thing - Looking after the whole south island and deciding who goes where to do what, meaning me getting to travel to nice places with nice scenery for work if I feel like it.
Worst thing - Professional managers with no understanding of the industry taking over.......
Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

Whats stand up desk,is that new corporate speak for working at the bar?
Same everywhere by the time you get them educated about all the things that don't know that they should have before they got the job and get them to a stage of usefulness they move to another job.
Then its rinse and repeat.
i work for an Australian owned company, the health and safety rules are absurd. i manage a small crew of guys and feel like the meat in the sandwich some retard in an office deicedes "No more ladders" with no replacement.
but anyways i do enjoy the freedom my job gives me, and some of the people i meet.
Didn't have to go far to find an accurate explanation of my job, which is Project Manager with an engineering company, working in Civil Infrastructure on (predominantly) roads, highways, bridges, with a few buildings here and there, and some other shit on occasion.
It's literally a desk that rises up so the person can stand, instead of sit, at it.
I've pondered it for years and can only deduce that its purpose is to get fat cunts a minuscule amount of exercise.
I had a good laugh with my doctor a little while ago. He said "the people who worry me are those who sit in their car going to work, then sit at their desk before sitting in their car to go home... where they sit in front of the TV / computer until bedtime.".
Heart attack city!

Electronics. I'm proud of what I do. But I'm constantly amazed at a few of my coworkers .
I've always prided myself with working with people smarter than me but understanding how to get what I want from the team and others I need to interact.
It's the sociopaths that confound you.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
As you hsve learned Bosses tell people what to do leaders get the best out of people Dave.
Don't ever try to figure a sociopath out other than then have no conscience and no real feelings after than anger, if you have to interact say nothing personal as they will only feed of it.
Never let on that you suspect they are a sociopath. Or else you will become a target.
You can only sit back and watch as they manipulate people and situations as they are masters at gaining peoples trust and keeping people onside despite balently using them.
Never try and beat one,, They will win almost every time as they will do or say anything to win. They devote all attention to this as they are not bogged down by emotions empathy or thoughts for others
Any victories you have against them will be repayed against you 100 times.
They often rise to high levels as they have no morals.
