I wore a tie to my first interview as a programmer. Worked there for 15 years and I got made ribbed for wearing a tie (that one time) for 15 years.

Sounds about right. lol

For my first helpdesk job interview, the recruiter sent the wrong information in the interview packet. The dress code she sent said "business formal" so I went in all suited and tied. Looked like I was interviewing for CEO. The managers interviewing me were wearing jeans and polo shirts.

You should have pulled a Robert California (The Office US) and walked out of the interview, walked into their boss' office, and interviewed for that job!
