It's all a matter of corporate culture. I've worked in shops where ties
were "de rigeur," and in many more where you could tell who the important
people were by how poorly they dressed, as in "the more casual the clothes,
the more important the person."
The CEO was the guy in the t-shirt, cut-offs, and sandals. :-)
