TightwadsThere's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.
Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

What job do you do?Presumably one in which you are able to go into the office without a suit? :)

Network/sysadmin/IT drone in a medium sized (60 people) companyThere is a company dress code of no jeans and no trainers, which I ignore. Don't think you have to wear a shirt, I wouldn't anyway. The person I share an office with is a good bit smarter than me, but I don't care.
I don't understand why they want people smart, 99% of business is over phone/email and customer visits are pretty rare.
I find the best way about it is to be a cheeky cunt, people don't seem to mind as much then. I have even worn t shirts with swearing on when they're the only clean ones, without comment being made.
I go for the maverick 'you're not the boss of me' role, make plenty of offensive jokes and go on too many cigarette breaks. Either my line manager fancies me or I lead a charmed life...
