Does tech discriminate against suits?

I like to wear my suit to work a few times per year, just on random days. I've been approached by higher ups more than once with the question "Are you interviewing somewhere else?" First time I got a kick out of it, but after reflecting decided that it was a good way to send a subtle message now and then.

I wear a suit every Friday. People definitely notice. It helps that I sit directly along the path between the entrance and the main work area in the main SF office.

(And several coworkers probably suspect who I am. Hi!)

It's prompted a fair number of wisecracks, but people seemed to have warmed to the idea that implicit dress codes don't need to be strict.

It probably would, if I was clever enough to go to any of those.

Maybe I should.

you're already dressed for it and work in sf, you might as well stop in for a drink and strike up some conversations.
