      I had coworkers in the early 2000s who would do this, working in a white collar profession, and pretty sure they weren’t alcoholics or doing (hard) drugs.

        That’s crazy. We couldn’t even wear polo shirts then and before 9/11 we had to wear ties.

          They didn’t wear pyjama’s to work, but they did wear them out of the house to go buy snacks or such. Also, a number of us didn’t normally wear suits or ties to work, especially if we were technical and not sales or administrative. This might have been due to not being in Canada. I did a few weeks in Toronto, and a number of guys followed the same rule.

          Edit: the most frustrating programming error.

      I used to see it in the States maybe 15 years ago but I also saw it in the UK (Liverpool) about a decade ago.
