Dress code, ties, H&S, IT support engineer....

How does 'climbing under a desk' warrant the need to not wear a tie? What are you going to do, somehow accidently tie it to the top of the desk and hang yourself?

Office staff who have to use paper shredders have to wear a tie, which I'd say is at least possibly hazardous.
 
I wonder how many of the comments in this thread are from office monkeys, and not IT Professionals.....

It's annoying and that is about it.

I'd take the opportunity to wear some 'interesting' ties though. odd knots and bow ties.
 
What's with the abuse in this thread? Op use a clip on tie and remove it when you are doing the moving tasks.

If they get dirty and its because of you climbing around in dirt ask your manager to purchase staff clothing. You shouldn't require to buy your own clothes if they going to get dirty every day.

Same thing are they not?

If you work in an office you are an office monkey/desk jockey etc etc what you do in said office is irrelevant.

It really depends on the company, I've worked places that insist on shirt and tie, and places where you can wear shorts and sandals, even with white socks...

In my experience 'IT Professionals' are the ones running the servers, not the minimum wage dog's bodies sent round to plug people's PCs and printers in (something that nearly everyone has been able to do themselves for at least the last decade).

why on earth anyone would insist on a tie for IT support - I doubt there are any serious health and safety concerns though but I could see why it would be annoying - if you're moving about all days, clambering under desks, going in and out of server rooms then you probably don't want your top buttons done up and a bit of cloth round your neck... rather you want them undone and perhaps sleeves rolled up... better still - trousers and a smart polo shirt.



tie seems pointless in that role - in fact an unnecessary bit of cloth around your neck which a violent prisoner could grab onto perhaps isn't ideal at all

They were clip on's
 
I've not needed a shirt and tie since I left school 16 years ago. I detest them and would probably seek employment elsewhere if HR sent out an email stating a change in dress code.
