This can’t be for real. This is ridulous

Anyone remember Benny Hill? British humor is a lot different than it is across the pond.

Cheryl I think you are taking the article and my post a bit too seriously. We don’t know the policy of this company line for line. I highly doubt it was a requirement. I suspect even those not participating would have to adapt. In any situation that feels uncomfortable we are forced to communicate in some way or another cope. It’s no different than doing trust excercises with some department you never work with… you tend to get chatty and open up. Communication and thinking outside of your normal parameters can really spark creativity and renew energy. It is what that company wanted.

My comment about this thread is that even just the postings went from critical to joking… and now hopefully some understanding and maybe discussion on ways to incorporate the “idea” into our workplace, even if it’s fully clothed.

I wouldn’t base this thread on the success of people working naked in an office. I don’t think it would work in most places. I for one would not work in a naked office and I would pursue it legally if I lost my job because I wouldn’t take off my clothes to come to work.

OK go ahead… say it…

I would like to point out… obviously the theory behind this works. It’s not scientific but notice how the thread of replies has loosened up in attitude. Went from prude and stuffy to sort of laughing it off. We have opened up.

You could hang that naked picture up on Fridays, LOL

How is this allowed but you can’t hang a picture of a naked person on the wall in your office?

Eh, you’d get used to it. I mean, people live in nudist colonies and don’t have trouble!

I’ve tried to imagine the employees in our company walking/working in the buff, and all I can say is: MY EYES, MY EYES!

Okay harassment? Really, come on now. There is nothing harassing about the naked body. We need to learn that naked doesn’t mean sex. I think it was a dang interesting idea. Good for them.
