Maybe you should wear just a collar and cuffs, like a Chippendale dancer.

I secretly love having a work polo shirt, because there is no way they can complain about it, I don't need to iron it, and I don't have to decide what to wear to work each day.

I'm contracted out to Shell of all places and the only requirements for clothes are long sleeves, jeans, and work boots. I wear paisley shirts. No one cares.

A previous job had a rather formal dress code: no trainers, no jeans, button down shirt. Then they bought some company-branded clothes so we had the alternative option of a cheap fruit of the loom polo shirt and combat trousers. You still had to wear formal shoes with that.

I remember interviewing for a job that wanted everyone to wear a tie. Bro this is an IT job what the gently caress do you mean. You're also a student loan debt collection agency there is zero reason anyone needs to be in a tie unless they're hanging from the rafters

Oh yeah every operator on my shift said that if they are asked to choose between 1st and 2nd shift at some point soon they're going to ask for their severance and a layoff, so that makes me feel better about that ordeal. Probably easier for everyone to get rid of 3rd entirely, rather than subject 3rd's four operators and lead to losing their independence and use of job skills across the remaining 2 shifts, tbqh.

I'd put more on either: - A manager just read(or re-read) the policy on shirts with collars, and holy crap they can call someone out on it! - A manager just spent good money on a nice shirt and feels you're looking way too poor for your position and making them look poor by proximity There's also "a manager let it slide until some HR policymonger strolled through and got on a boss about their underlings ignoring policy and so the boss is passing the buck to CYA" but it should have happened sooner if that was the case.

Not posting a shot of me in the shirt without someone buying me archives. New one: We shut down for Hurricane Ian and I'm gonna miss 20 hours this week on my schedule. We're "guaranteed" 40 hours a week though and early whispers are that we'll be offered the opportunity to "make up the hours". Well gently caress that. I contacted HR asking if they're considering any other options beyond "working 60 hours next week at base pay". Between this and the collar, I'm worried I'm landing on the wrong people's radar

Unless you had a flex schedule in place, federally they gotta pay you time and a half for all hours over 40 in a week. Depending on how load bearing that set of airquotes around "Guaranteed" is, they might just tell everyone to pound sand, force majure/acts of god/go gently caress yourselves you aren't being paid.

We've been rolling out a new system at work for about 6 months. It's a disaster, it does not work, and it requires a massive amount of manual workarounds at this point. My job used to be an 8-4 gig, but because of the work we've been doing it's shifted to 5-3. That's bad enough, but we were told it was just a temporary thing. Last night, someone very high up in the company suggested that we start working at 3 am to handle the "perceived issues", so that'd shift my schedule to 3-3. But don't worry, corporate leadership is still allowed to work from home 5 days a week and wouldn't dare dream of working more than 20 hours a week.

Whenever we meet with a vendor to integrate something new in our product, my boss just asks them to make a proposal. No system description, no details, no specs, just "show us what you got." When they try to pry any type of direction out of him, he just deflects. "I'd like to see what you come up with." This is his idea of engineering. A couple months ago vendor A made a proposal for some new technology. Boss's response: "Wow! That's great! It'll really take care of a lot of the issues we're having." About a month ago vendor B is having some issues with a component they are developing for us. Probably because our specs were very lovely, they made a shot in the dark, and they missed. Boss decides to end the development because vendor A's proposal will do what vendor B is developing but better. Turns out vendor A's "proposal" was more of a sneak peak of a system already well into development. Turns out they did their own market research, got direct feedback from our customers and competitors, and made their own specs. Turns out it's going to be a direct competitor to one of our product lines. I guess management is putting on the pressure to make our product line actually competitive instead of a mishmash of vendor crap. I get copied on an email from my boss to vendor C: "Hey I'd liked to reconnect on this proposal you made 6 six years ago." lol

I've had to explain the invoicing process to my new bosses three times in the past three days. I have completely lost all filter. They mentioned cutting out a step on the process and I told them it was an awful idea that makes no sense and reveled in the 30 seconds of awkward silence. I'm like days away from recreating the Ric Flair "fire me I'm already fired" promo.

Apparently the label scrapers I use in book mending are the perfect tool for prying up pee- or vomit-stained carpet squares. Yet another tool I have to bring from home because I don't want people using it and not returning or cleaning it.

Public library. It happens maybe once every other month. I think somebody discovered that the sticker removal tool has just the right leverage to pry up a carpet square without having to touch it and has since shared this discovery with the rest of the team.
