Remember CP Snow’s famous book, Two Cultures, which asked if we were seeing a division between the scientifically literate and the, well, literately literate? And of course, we’ve all heard the Red State/Blue State riff. But this recent question posed to slashdot highlighted for me that we don’t have two, but many splinter cultures.
Body Modifications Still Hinder IT Professionals?
“The Detroit News recently ran an article about body modifications in the workplace. This got me thinking; do body modifications such as tattoos and piercings still hinder IT professionals in the workplace? Or is this a thing of the past, as these types of personal changes have become more common in recent years. In my experience, I’ve found both stringent dress codes requiring business casual attire, and no visible body modifications, to no dress code at all. What has the rest of the IT world found to be common?”
I love the simple sincerity of the question, and can imagine just how many possible answers there are, depending on where you live.
