I found that I didn't work as effectively in the bathrobe. I may be
more comfortable, but not necessarily towards my work.

Was it because of the bathrobe, or because of the close proximity of the
refrigerator, TV, internet, and three kids?

One of the reasons the military wears uniforms is to
instill that sense of unity and esprit de corps. There is no esprit de
corps with flip flops.

What kind of espirit de corps would improve ATC?

Or demonstrating how professional the workers actually are BEING, in
that they were taking naps in the facility at a time they could be
called to duty at any moment.

Airplane pilots take naps on duty too. They are fresher when called to
duty.
