Might have just been my parents but I remember ironing clothes being so integral to life during childhood but I think I’ve ironed maybe a dozen things as an adult. What happened?

      Not OP, but I saw this at an old-school Fortune 500. To get Casual Fridays, you had to donate a certain amount to a specific charity (ours was a local food bank). It wasn’t a lot, something like $25/quarter, but it was definitely an expense

      Gross practice. Companies would charge their employees money to wear more comfortable clothes. They’d often say it was a fundraiser. I have heard of people who did not want to or could not afford to participate getting chastised for not supporting kids with cancer.
