Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Google's global privacy chief, Peter Fleischer, wants to see T-shirts replace dress shirts and ties as standard business attire. Fleisher says the tie "constricts circulation to the brain."
In addition, the tie "acts as decorative camouflage for the business suit, designed to shield the middle-aged male physique, with its shrinking shoulders and protruding paunch, from feeling sufficiently self-conscious to hit the gym," Fleischer wrote in a letter to the Financial Times.
Fleischer suggests replacing ties with T-shirts, which he said do not hide the shape of a man's body: "Wouldn't you like to know whether your business partners are fit? Why should you trust a man in business if he abuses his own body?," Fleischer wrote, saying casual attire may bring about "greater creativity."
T-shirts? Hell, let's replace dress shirts and ties with tank tops. Nothin' says "professional" like a tank top!
