If you worked in a factory you would. No tied ties in a factory.

I don’t work in a factory. But, even if I did, I would never hire anyone who walked into an interview wearing a clip on tie.

Better no tie than a clip on. Just my 2 cents.

Back in the day the young supervisors at UPS all wore ties...including tie-ties. When you made the jump from hourly to super, you "took the tie" (though later it became "going over to the Dark Side" as the Teamsters upped their slander game).

Given that the place contains miles of exposed conveyor belts which were regularly trod upon, finagled-with and wrestled...gawd, it makes me cringe to think of the unhappy possibilities...

Same goes for law enforcement. You don't want to be in a fight and have the bad guy choke you out.

Even in grocery stores the ties are clip-on and also tear away. If that thing gets caught in the meat slicer your nose is a goner.
It is amazing to me how casual the business world is becoming. Finance workers and lawyers regularly wear ties. Just about all other industries no longer do.
