No small amount of talk has been produced here discussing the ins and outs of being kilted in the workplace, among colleagues, etc. It has all been useful and educational. I am wondering, however, whether anyone has any experience or opinions on specific issue of being kilted while one's superiors are present. It is one thing to be kilted with one's coworkers and colleagues, or to obtain the permission from a human resources director who doesn't actually witness your kilted presence. It's a whole other matter to be kilted before one's superiors, and risk a negative reaction from them because of what I like to call the "intimidation factor" of the kilt. Bosses have a tendency to see any intimidation of them as insubordinate. Also, I have some folks in authority above me who imagine themselves as being both very worldly and very traditional, and when I wear a kilt around them, I wonder if I am running the risk of being misunderstood as trying to one-up them, rather than simply celebrating my heritage. These types of reactions are often unspoken, so it is hardly something that can be addressed directly.

I am interested in any comments or thoughts on this subject.
