I'm not aware of any company that has tried this yet. My software company is
taking off really well. In this industry we could be located anywhere. I like
to work naked and I can only believe other people would to.

Is there any intrest out there? It would may take some getting used to but I
think after a while it would be very productive.


Just a thought

I heard that in Silicone Vally there were C/O places. My boss joked about
it, saying that I'd like to work there. He did not know that I was a nudist
and that at night I worked naked quite a bit here in Cleveland. I worked
alone on 3rd shift.

Were you productive while you were naked? I assume so!

The point is you were comfortable and I believe that a comfortable person is a
productive person.

We have done it and it was successful for what we do. Even the Fed EX and ups
drivers arrange thier lunches to partake of our hot tub.

We are a high Volume Photograhy retail company (little League type). Most of
our work is done outside of the office with little public contact in the
office. When we were not digital ordering based we had a regular staff of 3-4
people working in the office on a daily basis. The office was, and still is
CO. The rule was that if everyone working was in agreement with CO then it was
CO. If there was a person that had a problem with CO then the office was not
CO. 90% of the staff was in agreemet with CO so there general was not a
problem. Now that we are using digital ordering the staff has dropped to one
on a daily basis so there is def. no problem.

For those times when we have a client come into the office it is by appointment
only anyway since we are in a residential area.

I've got to believe others would want to work naked. I know I would jump at
the chance. Liability would be an issue - you would need to screen your
employees to ensure acceptance of the nude work environment, have them sign
acknowledgements, disclaimers, etc. Have you thought about Austin, TX?

Texas is one place I have considered - I think there are a lot of people who
work at there computer nude - some just wont admit it!

Well, if it means anything. I work at my computer nude every chance I get!
Then there is cooking, doing laundry, even chilling after cutting the grass.
A nice cold beer, hot sun and a nude body. Nothing better. Well almost...;-)

I "work" in front of my computer, nude. I hate the approach of winter
b/c of the need to wear clothes, or heat the whole house up, which I
won't do. If I still worked, I would love to work nude. But it is a
dream, never to be done. This society is so litigation-prone...the
possibilities of suits are only limited by a plaintiff's attorney's
imagination.

We've all read about people who move to an area which had a pre-existing
airport, suddenly discovered that planes make noise, sue, and then some
give-away jury awards lots of someone else's money! If I were a boss, I
would have to say "no" to a request to work nude, most regrettably.

Don't know if anyone mentioned that but nude dancers/strippers work nude during
a large part of their work day. It's in the job description you know.

My friend used to be a nude dancers. She was for about 4 years. She never has
been to a nude beach but I don't know if she would have trouble being nude at
one even though she was nude for her clients at the nude dancing establishment.

I never thought of it that way but you are right! If a person is not
comfortable with it they won't do it.

Thanks for the thought

In New Zealand, where I live, there is NO law in the Statute that says being
nude is illegal.

However, and to be expected unfortunately, people can be "offended" and
complain to police for "offense behaviour".

I work nude at home all the time. Lucky for me the landlord supplies the heat.
Maybe you could heat only the office area.
