That’s crazy. We couldn’t even wear polo shirts then and before 9/11 we had to wear ties.

They didn't wear pyjama's to work, but they did wear them out of the house to go buy snacks or such. Also, a number of us didn't normally wear suits or ties to work, especially if we were technical and not sales or administrative. This might have been due to ~~not~~ being in Canada. I did a few weeks in Toronto, and a number of guys followed the same rule.
