It’s common at the high school level. It’s a byproduct of pandemic lockdowns.

I had coworkers in the early 2000s who would do this, working in a white collar profession, and pretty sure they weren't alcoholics or doing (hard) drugs.

That’s crazy. We couldn’t even wear polo shirts then and before 9/11 we had to wear ties.

They didn't wear pyjama's to work, but they did wear them out of the house to go buy snacks or such. Also, a number of us didn't normally wear suits or ties to work, especially if we were technical and not sales or administrative. This might have been due to ~~not~~ being in Canada. I did a few weeks in Toronto, and a number of guys followed the same rule.

I used to see it in the States maybe 15 years ago but I also saw it in the UK (Liverpool) about a decade ago.
