What kind of work do you do?

I’ve recently gotten a promotion at work and have had plenty of chances to dress more officy which I have been really enjoying. Today it was pretty humid outside so at first I decided not to wear nylons like I have been doing since my promotion (I just think they provide a very professional touch). After my sister took a couple of pictures it didn’t feel right so ended just putting some on. What do you do and is there a dress code at your job?

Freight train driver. Shiftwork. Been a train driver doing shiftwork (with a few different entities) for about 35 years now. Hardly ever had an office job. When I was in my late teens and early 20's I did retail as a second job for a little while.

Originally, dress code was plain green uniforms in the 1990's. Could wear short sleeves and shorts if we wanted to.

Today almost all industries including rail have gone down the hi-vis route. In rail, it's hi-vis orange with reflective stripes. Must be long sleeves and long pants no short sleeves or shorts allowed.
