Working Naked With Others

I’m all for working naked, teambuilding and improving morale. But all at the same time? Not so much. David Taylor, a business psychologist, disagrees.

This company took working naked to a whole new level (Telegraph.co.uk).

This company took working naked to a whole new level (Telegraph.co.uk).

According to the Telegraph.co.uk, Taylor convinced the staff of a design and marketing firm in the UK to hold “Naked Friday” to “strip away inhibitions and talk to each other more openly and honestly.” The entire company worked completely naked except for two female workers who kept on their black underwear and a man who wore a “posing pouch.” (Check it out on Google.)

This poses a few questions.

• Is a leather chair more comfortable than a fabric one?

• Do you avoid bringing in a hot lunch for fear of singeing important bits while microwaving?

• How do you avoid laughing uncontrollably when the way you imagined someone naked is completely wrong?

Gives Casual Friday a whole new meaning.
