Yes really, but this was a couple decades ago. I expect this has changed since.


Lots of old stories about IBM requiring workers to wear nice blue suits and drive shiny new cars.

I think that mostly ended by the dotcom era though. As an intern in 2001, everybody there wore casual clothes just like at a startup.


Unless it’s some context where someone is expected to do a lot of home entertaining I have believe would be unheard of today.


This is strong, “not the car expected of a doctor” energy
