Dress Codes

I notice one thing about the oil & gas industry. While the players still wear the suits & ties, the mannerisms are much different than back in the towers of downtown Toronto. It's pretty common to hear people swearing at work or more laid back, street like small talk. There also seems to be less emphasis on things like "I got my MBA from..." etc.

Yet, like back east, Golf is a popular past time & it's very common to see invites for wine parties or people in the biz going to upscale restaurants. It's a little less formal & a little more down to earth but on the flip side, to some that prefer the "formal" that's probably a bad thing.
