Sweatpants for work? Yes, please! There’s no reason you can’t look professional and comfortable. My daughter bought two pairs of these knit pants from Target and loves them. They’re fashionable and reasonably priced. Whoever thought of this is a genius. There are options for men too, but they’re more expensive.
Have you found anything that makes getting through the workday a little easier, Deadsplinters?
Spending my work day at home. I get puppy time all day long.
That’s the best part of working from home.
Not to mention easy access to the home fridge and, depending on what you do and how you work, the generous naptime policy you can grant yourself. And all those annoying errands are a breeze when you don’t have to race around like a mad person following a commute home from an office.
And if the nap includes a dog, even better!
I’m wearing pajama bottoms and a nice shirt. Realized I don’t even have any Zooms today so I may go full PJs soon.
You definitely should.
There are also dress sneakers.

At the risk of sounding like a suck-up, I’m going to say that Deadsplinter makes the workday easier.
It is nice to know there are like minded people in the world.
Best part of working from home is no dress code, the worst part is I can’t take stuff from work…
Unless your coworker is hiding treats from you. Tell her you thought they were communal break room items.
I only go into the office occasionally these days, and it’s funny how lax we all are about dress code now. I still generally dress up a little, but my one hard rule now is I won’t wear nice shoes anymore unless I’m at a formal event.
Unless you have to meet with clients I don’t think dress clothes are necessary. But some places cling to outdated ideas.
It’s been so long since I’ve worn dress clothes that back in June I had to borrow a tie to go to a memorial service. I probably have some somewhere, but I couldn’t find them.
What exactly is the function of a tie? I never understood them.
I never learned to tie a tie! Never had a need to wear one in Hawaii & my first mainland job I had, my girlfriend would tie my tie for me. I now have a closet full of ties that my dad pre-tied for me over 25 years ago!
It’s basically a slip knot, if you’re not trying to be fancy about it.
whilst i would love to wear sweatpants at work…or shorts for that matter….it is not….the smartest idea whilst welding and doing general metalwork
damn do i hate having to wear heavy jeans and thick shirts in summer tho
but…mondays aside…(where odds are i turn up for work half dead and regret my decisions) my workdays arent very hard…mostly checking other peoples work and lugging pallets about nowadays
occasionally being a pain in the arse to the office…coz i can and they are useless
i have a performance review sometime this week which i got handed a nifty bit of paperwork to fill out for… you know where im sposed to splain how its going and what i want and or expect from them
ive filled out my name and wrote check last years, nothings changed yet
More $$$, that’s what you want, that’s what you deserve.
this is true…..but its actually more certifications im after
send me back to school you bastards…i am not leaving this job without something tangible to show for it
i want that bit of paper says im qualified for whatever…..coz having done whatever for years is remarkably worthless once you are no longer in the company you did whatever for
and as im pushing 40….im pretty bored of starting at rock bottom everywhere
i am unofficially overqualified for my job….lol….officially underqualified
Good thinking!
Gym shorts and a tee shirt. And my Uggs bedroom slippers, which are the bomb.
Nobody bothers me before noon (my boss is west coast), so I typically get out and take a 2 mile walk about 9:30 or 10. I shower at lunch and put on a collared shirt for afternoon Zooming on days I have afternoon Zooming.
Collared shirt with the gym shorts? Gotta love Zoom.
Bingo. That was literally me interviewing for my current job. Right down to the beer off-camera. Job interviews are so much more relaxed after a couple of drinks.
I typically don’t even put a bra on when working from home unless I know I have meetings that need to have the camera on.
