No bottoms while WFH

[litebright]

I WFH in my kitchen, which has two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows. Yes, I wear pants at all times.

And when I close up all the blinds, 1) my house is chilly, I run cold and I'm usually in layers and 2) the idea of sitting on my upholstered chairs in just my undies skeeves me out slightly. So no.

[mrshandy]

I work from home full time. We rarely go on camera. I always wear clothes (shorts or workout capris) just for comfort sake. But I have jumped on a meeting perhaps when getting out of the shower when I was just wearing a robe. So I guess I can never say never.

The idea of Leonard our Salesforce nerd sitting there in his underwear is making me barf so thanks for that.

[leahcar]

I literally roll out of bed and do my "morning checks" at work before I eat breakfast. Even then I'm in my sleeping clothes. I can't say I've ever been at my desk with no pants; that's just not how I'm most comfortable. I do a LOT of working in my pj pants with a presentable top though.

[circa1978]

I suppose I am quite technically working in a top and underwear right now, if you consider a dress a top. Under no other circumstances, ever.

[jane6672]

I am very much someone who hangs around the house in various states of undress.

And yet, no. I have a hard and fast rule that I must be clothed if working.

This poll reminded me of a client call where the customer joined the zoom wearing no shirt. He quickly turned his video off and I don't think anyone noticed but me, but I was surprised to discover he had a LOT of tattoos and clearly spent a lot of time at the gym.

If I am at home I am in a bathrobe. 24/7. I don't go on camera so I am just in my bathrobe, letting the tits and bits air out alla the time. Sometimes if I have to jump on an early call I do it naked in bed because I hate sleeping in clothing.

I love this for you, but my brain would convince me that I would accidentally turn on my camera so I could never do it myself.

Have done. I work out at home in a sports bra and undies. Most days, I shower right after. If I have an early meeting, I occasionally take it immediately post workout and shower after. We rarely are cameras on.

Out of total curiosity, what kind of workout are we talking about?

[ellipses84]

I’ve definitely WFH in short pajama shorts I’d never wear in public and a tank top with no bra but I’m paranoid and put a post-it note over my camera. If there’s any chance I’ll be on camera I’ll put on a bra and decent shirt. There’s no way anyone will see my bottoms the way my office is set up.

[litskispeciality]

Late to the party here but I would totally screw up and stand up in my undies in a cameras on meeting. To be honest I didn't really think what people wear on their bottoms when they WFH until this conversation.

[melmel4854]

No. I at least have pj pants on. My best friend wears just his boxers. I only know this because he has facetimed me during work hours and he got up to get something.... and there were his undies!

[ECB]

ALways have something on. I'm on camera periodically and even if I'm casual on the bottom, I want SOMETHING on just in case I stand up and they can see what I'm wearing. If I do need to walk away - I usually turn the camera off. But - you just never know. Not taking any chances!

[meanie]

Definitely not but that wouldn't even be comfortable

I have worked from home in a nightgown, gym clothes, leggings, etc so I'm not fancy or anything

[pandorica]

I would never. That's not how I hang out at home even when not working though. It sounds cold and uncomfortable!

[glw]

In the summer I'm often in booty shorts but a regular shirt.
ETA: and I never wear a bra at home. My camera is set to shoulders-up

[tiki]

I am generally too cold to be comfortable without some kind of pants, but my standing desk does eliminate the "accidentally standing up" risk some others have mentioned.

[brooke77]

No, but I’m always on camera so I am fully dressed during working hours. My DH is never on camera and he will wear a zip up fleece thing in the winter, but never pantsless.

[nicanmatt]

We are mostly camera's off for my team, that being said. I have kids to get to school in the AM. So even though I don't get dressed up, I do get dressed and that's usually what I wear for the day. In the summer when it's super hot, I may work in a sports bra only on top, but I always wear bottoms!!!

[mommyatty]

I feel like a scofflaw if I’m working from home in slippers instead of real shoes and some of y’all are pantless?? I’m slow clapping you guys. Brava! Slay, queens!

I've got one of those sliding things that closes the camera so even if I hit something it would just show a black screen lol.

I don't work from home and put "yes".

My job has *a lot* of downtime, especially nights and weekends. I have to wear FR (fire resistant) clothing, and until last year, only one company had women's jeans in plus size that semi-fit, and they were completely uncomfortable.

So, being the only woman, I'd lock and block the door to the locker room (has a couch, table, etc, it's pretty big) and hang out with no pants on (could read a book, whatever, as long as I could respond to an emergency.) I figured it wouldn't take me any longer to jump into my jeans than it would if anyone were using a bathroom, so no big deal.

Jeans I have fit better now, but I'll still take them off sometimes, it's just way more comfortable (I keep a pair of "lounge pants" in my locker in case I get cold).

dragon's breath - now I’m super curious about your job lol

PDQ... poof. We have duties that can take a couple hours a shift, as well as rounds, but outside of that, we either work when called or when there is an emergency.

[babsbunny]

tiki and all... almost every keyboard has a very convenient Print Screen button. Great for capturing pleasing images. Press it, then open anything where you can do control+v to paste (word or ms paint work).

[lostrn]

I have extremely rarely clocked in just wrapped in a towel because I've not estimated the time correctly. However I don't officially join the zoom meeting until I'm 100% presentable lol.
We have to be on camera via zoom the whole day except for breaks.

I really am struggling with this idea that the people I am on a call with may not be fully clothed. Like I know I am a prude, but this is a bridge too far!

[eddy]

No, I don't even like walking around without a bra. I am not a free spirit, let it all hang out type person.

Comfy, nice clothes are my go to for WFH and just hanging out. 

[cuadrado]

Not technically in the way you asked, but I do sometimes work in only my bathrobe when I've just gotten out of the shower. I work for myself though and rarely have calls, so no one else knows what I'm up to.
