At least that’s the story out of Chile, where the government’s Commission for Energy Efficiency this week said its workers will not be required to wear ties or jackets in summer, thus enabling the government to back off on its air conditioning in the summertime. Officials said they hope the private sector will follow suit, so to speak. At your home for not-just-networking news.
