IT workers get shirty

Hot from our BOD (Bleeding Obvious Department), research last week uncovered the shocking truth: techies are more likely to wear heavy metal T-shirts at work.

In fact, they are twice as likely as their counterparts in other areas of work. And that's not all that MS Exchange host Intermedia found during a survey of workers - apparently IT bods are:

34% more likely to have a ponytail 63% more likely to wear black jeans 32% less likely to wear clean clothes to work 20% more likely to carry a Leatherman

Hands up now. Do you fit the stereotype?
