Climbing the corporate ladder in sweat pants and bare feet

I was stunned by this quote from this survey of Apple Employees:

"I never dressed nicer than sweat pants. I often came in whatever I slept in the night before and walked around the office barefoot. Nobody cared." said a customer solutions specialist who works for Apple in Austin, TX. But the opportunities for advancement were not that great, the employee said.

I would like to know where the opportunities for advancement are great for a barefoot customer solution specialists wearing yesterdays sweat pants.
