Great news if you love the smell of feet: The hot new trend at work is NO SHOES ALLOWED.
"Fortune" magazine just did a big story on it. And "The Guardian" says it's happening in England, too.
More and more companies are banning shoes at work, especially startups. You can wear socks, slippers, or go barefoot. But leave your shoes at the door.
It's not to avoid vacuuming. The idea is it makes the office feel "more relaxed and collaborative," and makes people less anxious. Tech companies in Silicon Valley have apparently been doing it for years.
So would YOU want to work at a place where people's feet are free to breathe? Some think the no-shoes approach sounds nice, but not everyone's convinced.
One expert told "Fortune" it comes with some pros and cons. It could create awkwardness, or cause hygiene issues. Quote, "What feels casual for some might feel unprofessional, or even uncomfortable, for others."
