I will add, and have repeated it to the offending indivual many times over the years. When speaking to reporters, do not use the phrase "coding in their underwear" when describing your amazing employee retention rate. It will show up in the article and then the whole "shared corporate underwear" question comes up.


Yep, I learned this when running for office last year. I tried using "No, you can't have a pony" for a slogan, only to spend far too much time explaining what it meant.
