Do you get dressed when you're working from home?

[Yavin4]

One of my colleagues had on business attire during our video conference call. They were lucky that I wasn't buck naked.

1. No

2. Put on jeans and T-shirt. Never Skype. Just say I'll phone in, or having

technical difficulties with camera and am too stupid to fix it. If not good enough, suggest they conference with someone that charges more.

[Aristus]

3. God, no!

Pajama bottoms and a tee shirt. Underwear if I feel like it...

[LuvLoogie]

4. Yes. I don't feel productive otherwise.

I feel like the day got away from me.

[woodsprite]

5. Yup! But my normal work clothes are jeans and a nice top

My 'dressing down' has been a t-shirt, polo, or sweatshirt. I still do my makeup, hair, and wear earrings, but I do that on weekends anyhow. Our admin mandated that we all - the entire workforce - be on Zoom chat all day ready for a meeting at any time while we try to get everyone teaching and learning from home. That's in addition to using whatever method of communication our individual teams prefer. I'm in multiple groups so I'm using MSTeams, Slack, gmail, TDNext, Bugzilla, and Footprints. When my notifications sound, it takes me 30-40 seconds to find which one did it.

6. Dressed in the sense that I have actual clothes on, not PJs and bathrobe -

but just t-shirt and sweats. I get up, take a shower and get dressed so as to preserve some illusion of normality and to avoid slipping into habits of sloth and lethargy.

7. Can a mumu be considered business attire?

[MustLoveBeagles]

8. Jeans, t shirts and slippers

Our conference calls are by phone.

[jberryhill]

9. Depends on whose home I'm working from

[MissB]

10. Yes. I wear my

Work pajamas. At the end of the work day, I put on my house pajamas.

Kidding.

It’s just weekend wear all the time. I’m pretty casual.

Could you see the bottom half during the video call?

[Yavin4]

11. No. Just the upper torso.

I didn't do video chat at first, but I was shamed into doing it.

[MissB]

13. I keep a piece of tape on my laptop camera all the time

I learned that last summer when Dh started working from home after we got a puppy. He took a conference call in the backyard using his laptop not realizing it was a video Skype call. Oops.

[FoxNewsSucks]

12. Never.

I don't do video calls or conferences. Usually I just work in my underpants, shorts or bathrobe. I get dressed when I actually have to leave. Not just to talk on the phone

[Bayard]

14. Been working from home for 20 years,

Self-employed. I've put together some memorable deals in my jammies, but its usually jeans and a tshirt. Sweatshirt if its chilly.
Cat in my lap, dogs at my feet.

[smirkymonkey]

15. Nope. I wear a big, long men's oxford button down shirt.

No pants, no bra. I have taped over my PC camera. I refuse to do a video conference. I don't know why, but it creeps me out. I don't like people looking at me through a camera.

One of the best things about wfh is the casual dress code!

[hlthe2b]

16. Still cold enough here that I sleep in layers: 12 degrees when I got up this morning

So a long walk with the pup and I return home just to take off a layer or two and leave a fleece "sweats" and fleece top.

17. Causal Friday clothes and a bathrobe.

The bathrobe is for the one little cat who desperately thinks I'm her mommy and wants her comfort zone most of the time ... Which happens to be tucked in the bathrobe between my armpit and boobs.
The waist tie keeps her comfortably in place, no matter what I have to do or if I have to get up for a short time.
Otherwise, she would be all over my laptop keyboard or digging her claws into my shoulder trying to keep herself in a "hug" position on me.

Skype conferences are always interesting, everyone else sees me in what looks like a light-blue cotton jacket with a solid black cat-butt hanging out the front.

She's been like that since we took off for a week last year to take care of my mom after knee surgery. The other cats are fine, but poor Goblin just couldn't handle us being away that long.

18. For video conferences, I wear a nice shirt. Jeans and sneakers below though. n/t.

19. Did you see what he was wearing on his bottom half?

an email I got on how to handle working from home at this time suggested establishing a routine and treating it like going into the office or with who they aimed the email at teachers and support staff.

Since I don't know how many video chats, I may get involved in dressing similar to what I wear daily is better than sweatpants and a t-shirt.

20. I dress casual for work and I dress the same way now that I am working from home.

I have to get dressed to take the dog for a walk every morning, otherwise I might be tempted to stay in my jammies.
