Ties are like peacocks' tails - their purpose is that they demonstrably have no purpose so if you have one it means you have sufficient wealth to purchase silk but don't need it to keep warm.
These days silk (and fake silk) is not expensive and therefore ties have been replaced as a sign of means-beyond-needs by BMW badges and various electronic devices.

Nope, using Bandshirts and Jeans, works fine!

Current position is remote, so I'll just let your imaginations run for my work from home days. On office days (once every few months), jeans and a t-shirt are fine.
My previous job didn't have an explicit dress code, but the implicit one was business casual with a casual Friday. I started expanding casual Friday until it covered the whole week. My summer project was going to be introducing shorts, but I left before I could add that to my resume.
The job before that my wife described as barnyard casual.
I don't wear ties for interviews anymore. If a company needs me to wear a tie, it's almost certainly not going to be the right fit for me.

If it's tight, I hate to tell you, then YOU are at fault.
0. Get shirts that really fit. Put a tape measure around your neck and stick two fingers between it and you, that will give you a comfortable collar size.
1. Use a large knot, double over or Windsor. The single turn is stupid, and looks worse and worse as the day progresses.
2. When you tie the tie, close it to the collar and not your neck.

When I asked on my first day what the dress code was, I was told that I could wear whatever I liked - the nice lady from personnel then went on to say 'except your superman costume'.

I code naked, so dress code is not an issue.
Well, that was my opinion, but my colleagues eventually did complain.

Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.
I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!

Ya know, the world is stupid.
We live in the mountains where everybody dresses casual. Why we have to pose for the dead is beyond me.

Not really. "Business Casual".
I choose to wear a bolo tie -- the official neckwear of Arizona. I would not take a job where I had to wear a suit.

The best explanation I've ever heard for the purpose of a tie is to keep the foreskin from rolling back over the wearer's head.

Thankfully no but it has its own downsides - who wants to see their colleagues walk out of the gents without shoes?

My Curations takes you to the profile page if you have not yet created one. Once you add your profile info and save it, it will advance you to the My Curations page. After a profile has been created clicking on My Curations will take you to your My Curations page. At least that was my experience just now!

That's the beauty of it, mate!
As in that question, you can't always be specified with all the requirements in a document, you have to "imagine" most of the things by your own, like the members who answered that question did.
