Just out of curiosity, did it work? Where they sold?

Companies make demands on all employees which have nothing to do with their business all the time but they care about it a lot.

One obvious one is a suit and tie policy. I'm curious what happens to people who "disobey" norms like this.

There is a difference between wanting to wear a suit and forcing everyone to wear one.

>This way of looking at it unfortunately suffers from self-reference. Someone who won't meet the dress code won't be looked on as a "really great candidate", so the exercise is undermined at the outset.

Even if that person is well known for being the best of the best? Even if their everyone knows that other companies out there would love to grab them because they are that good?
