Clothing formality is very socially-specific. In college, I was told to wear a suit to an event, and my professor was gobsmacked that I had never owned a suit. Knowing how to dress for certain occasions requires enough money to dress differently for different occasions. Employers should always be very, VERY specific about their clothing expectations, or this kind of thing happens.
Blackstone 3 years ago (edited)
This! Thank you so much for saying because that was my initial thought as well. Dressing for social occasions is very finicky and if you don't grow up "elite", knowing what is appropriate, what the hell "tea length" is, a "businesses casual skirt" is, is all highly confusing. I grew up middle class and went to a fancier college thanks to scholarships and I had a heck of a time figuring it all out (Google was barely a thing). I asked a lot of questions to my dormmates as did a lot of Goodwill shopping last minute to find the correct dress type for all the events.

Heh, that reminds me... While Obama was visiting Europe, our employer announced that Hillary Clinton would come to our office and that we should dress nicely for her visit. I thought it was an unnecessary demand. We were journalists, not employees of Miranda Priestly. Plus, we were already dressing neatly, especially myself. So on that day I appeared in full "mother of bride" outfit, including large hat. My co-workers were laughing tears when they saw me :)

Taking this quite literally, NOT SAFE for work. This guy I know, electrical power systems, kept asking his boss to get him some safety gear.

Yeah, I'm amazed by people who have to work without any regards for their safety or health and don't report it to the proper authorities. In the Netherlands they made it very easy: If you do not report unsafe conditions and you get into an accident because of those conditions, you are held liable and will get a fine. Stupidity doesn't get rewarded.

Secondhand story from my husband, but a guy on another crew wore a two piece safety suit instead of the one piece like he was supposed to for the job. He slipped and fell on his a** in some caustic waste. Since it was a two piece suit, it was able to leak into his suit and he ahd to basically run out of the job, strip down naked, and have coworkers pour vinegar all over his lower half, including down his a** crack and on his junk.
So remember, if you work a safety job, don't ignore the required gear. Sometimes the required gear seems silly, but they require it for a reason. Accidents happen and in a worst case scenario, proper get should save you.

I worked in the chemical industry and was once sprayed with 96% Sulphuric Acid when replacing valves (paperwork said the pipe was empty) luckily I was wearing all the correct PPE and was unhurt but it was f*****g scary. My apprentice, who was standing about six feet away with the water hose and wearing the same PPE, had one drip of acid get under his mask and land on his cheek, he screamed like a b***h. If I wasn't wearing the correct gear that day I would probably be dead or a blind lookalike for the guy in RoboCop. ALWAYS WEAR CORRECT PPE.

Well....they're put in place because it happened to someone and they don't want a lawsuit. Most regulations are there and make total sense. Others make sense because of stuff you don't know or aren't aware of because it's an overlap between your job and someone else's. And then sometimes it's because there was one idiot somewhere. The problem is, it's impossible to tell which it is, so yeah, follow the guidelines.

Many moons ago i worked for Royal mail as a postman. Had a new hire that came into work wearing high heel platform boots. She didnt come back the next day because she didn't seem to understand that those items of footwear are not conducive to the amount of walking posties do, and managed to knacker her ankle. Also complained that carrying bags and putting mail through letter boxes was damaging her nails.
Never saw her again.

It varies depending on how urban or suburban their route in the UK is with Royal Mail. Many get vans but some are on bikes, some walk and have carts they pull. Most of the vans I see daily will park somewhere and then walk their allocated route (I live in a village) carrying a large bag. When I lived in the middle of nowhere the postie would drive door to door. The employees will be a mix, anyone fit enough to do the job really. They'll get a uniform but footwear will be common sense - well, hopefully. The national average salary for a Postal Worker is £22,460 according to a site I just looked at... they say pension is good 'if you get that far' as it's obviously a job that's quite hard on the body over time.

I'm amazed she wasn't sent home to change her shoes. I worked in a clinical lab for years and if you showed up wearing open toed shoes, Crocs, sandals, thongs, etc., you'd either be sent home to change, sent home for the day, written up, or even fired depending on how many times you tried to wear inappropriate shoes. Why you'd 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 to wear open shoes in an environment where you can possibly spill corrosive chemicals and biological fluids is beyond me but there are some not so smart people out there.

You can't wear open toed shoes in salons cutting hair. Listen even if you are a client before complaining...hair that is cut is sharp. It can become a splinter in your foot and get infected. Just wear sneakers it's a lot safer-as a client. As a worker you're taught this in school. And about anti slip shoes. Wear them. It's not a fashion show for infections. It's safety.

Recently at work one of our vans decided it didn't want to start. It being a brand new Dodge ProMaster we decided it would be best for the dealership to figure it out. We called and a big flat bed tow truck was dispatched. The tow truck arrived and the driver hopped out wearing slip style sandals. I would assume a job were you deal with heavy machinery all day would require boots but who knows.
Fast forward a month and I am getting gas at the gas station down the street from my office. I look over to the next pump and who do I see? That same tow truck driver filling up the tank on his tow truck. He was still wearing that same pair of sandals. I left in a hurry after watching him light a cigarette as he pumped his gas.

There comes a point in heavy work where steel toes become a liability. A friend worked in machinery moving and was told he'd be fired if he wore steel toed boots. Their equipment was so heavy that if anything fell on your foot it stood a chance of crimping the steel part around you and you'd have to be cut out of it instead of it just crushing your toes.
Eat Dirt Crow 3 years ago
That's the idea. If they're crushed, that's it, no more toes. If they're cut, there's a chance they can be reattached. I had a nurse friend tell me a story where they handed her a boot. She asked, "what do you want me to do with this", they said, "get the toes out".

One of the older men, getting near 60, wore short shorts, some women complained about his varicose veins being unsightly.

This one was kind of a mess. So he got sent home because he was not in compliance with dress code, which is fair.

It's not so much over sensitivity as much as it is that we committed a 99% successful genocide and now we're wearing the skins of that culture like a joke. Some modicum of sensitivity should be observed if it offends their culture as a whole, especially after having destroyed it and it slowly continues to dwindle. Try to see something from someone else perspective, the best method is to try to join a debate class (like Toastmasters) and then actually argue for other people's viewpoints and make sure you argue based on their opinions and ideals, it helps understand that more than one opinion exists and also matters.

Bless you for being patient. It is sometimes hard to accept that your body is wildly outside your control while pregnant. I remember feeling desperate for some semblance of my old self.

I hope she was sitting down for most of the day, otherwise her ankles would have been a mess!

One of our graphic designers showed up to our year end function wearing a backless form-fitting mini dress. No underwear. She was also a part time fitness model. At 21 she definitely had the body for it. She caused a few fights between couples when the girls would catch their guys either staring or sneaking peeks.

Insecurity caused those flights. Looking is harmless, and there are tons of pretty people in the world. The women I've dated usually point out a pretty girl or a nice butt for me lol. If you're worried about where your partner is looking you need therapy, not romance.

I'd just point out, that SOME men encourage their partners' insecurities - when pregnant with my daughter, HER sperm donor age 38 @the time) would ogle young teenage girls, & make crude comments to me about "what he'd like to do to make them"

SHE didn't cause any fights. Other people did and blamed it on her.

OK rule #1. If people can tell you are not wearing underwear, than NO. Just NO.

And what's wrong with that? Are we blaming the woman because the guys were perving on her?
Claire Bear 3 years ago
She didn’t cause anything, the men who couldn’t control themselves did
Ela 3 years ago
The women who cared that the guys looked at a nice view are off the hook? I mean, I can appreciate a pretty gal or a pretty guy, without wanting either one!

For that kind of job, the special occasion, and who was wearing it, that sounds like something pretty reasonable. It was modern, age appropriate, nothing inappropriate was exposed (her back… ooooh! Pffft shove off…) just because she can pull a dress like that off but others can’t isn’t her fault.

Elderly black man showed up in booty jean shorts on the first day of summer. Wore suits like George Jefferson the rest of the year. He retired soon after. (Edit: i used to work in a call center office. Nothing about our job dealt with the outdoors.)
Jp@nda 3 years ago
So what is a George Jefferson suit? Do you mean a suit from the 70's?? And I've seen plenty of men in"booty" shorts, and?? I am in the Gayborhood frequently and I am proud that Philly has a thriving LGBTQ area. You should avoid the there come pride month though, you might hurt yourself clutching your pearls so tight

Worked in the Middle East. One of the expat women turned up with both elbows and kneecaps on display. Was sent home to change.

Speaking of elbows and knees, showing an ankle was scandalous in the early years of the 1900's pretty much everywhere!

While these jokes are so original and hilarious... I'd also like to point out that yes, in many middle eastern countries this can be quite offensive- even when it's because an expat simply doesn't take time to learn local customs. (My family is middle eastern...I know exactly how quickly those small choices can go downhill)

yes, the woman should fit in a black veil up to her feet, it would not hurt anyone. only the woman, but obviously it doesn't matter

Where in the middle east? I worked in a few countries, and in most, this wouldn't be a big deal unless the office was super conservative. In other countries she'd have been killed stepping out of her door. When I was in Egypt, not the middle east, i know, i worked with a lady who wore short skirts every day.

I used to work as an intern in a classic corporate office and one of the manager who used to wear tops with HUGE cleavages showed up with leather pants which front side and back side were pierced with 1 inch holes and tied together with ribbons

OMG! What would he have done if you wore one black shoe and one blue shoe? I accidentally did that once. No one noticed until I told them because the shoes were the same design, cheap K-Mart.

i worked a fence building job and my moss hurt his toe so was supervising with one steel toe boot and one sandal.
since he could barely walk he wasn’t really doing much so he wasn’t like in danger of anything but it’s still weird to see a guy with sandal on at a job site with thousands of pounds of wood and concrete

Sounds like his boss should have sent him home, just because accidents happen all the time.

One time I wore a black hi-vis shirt instead of the OHSA approved orange or chartreuse hi-vis. Nothing happened.
M O'Connell 3 years ago
The body of the shirt was black, but still had the standard reflective trimmings. I've occasionally seen it to color-code technicians, but orange and yellow are by far the most common.

I never wear a bra to work and I'm usually wearing shorts and flip flops. I do work from home and no one sees me though. :) Love my job! I will put on a bra if I have to leave the house......

In America, this one Slovenian lady visited a detention center for immigrant children who had been taken from their parents. Some of whom weren't even old enough to sit up on their own, and where known abuses and neglect were taking place. She wore a coat that said "I DON'T CARE, DO YOU?" I think that is worse than flip-flops in a lab.

When I was 16 I had my job as a hostess at a fine dining restaurant. All the girls at their dressed beautifully and so I thought I would dress "beautifully" as well and wore a very deep cut shirt with lots of cleavage. Lol didn't have anything said to me but the following day we had notes stated that cleavage could be no more than 5 in past collarbone.......I was a stupid kid lol

I wore a kilt to work one day during the summer to protest that the women could wear skirts, leggings, skorts, or capris. My boss was not amused. Women could also wear flip-flops and sandals.

I was working in a knee-long skirt and that evening it was very busy and hectic in the restaurant. My skirt went up a few centimeters and became a mini-skirt and I didn't notice. I was running around and bringing people their food when my boss called me. He was furious and said he didn't accept the fact that I was wearing a mini skirt to attract mens attention. I was really shocked because I haven't noticed. The boss went on and said that every men was looking and that I was acting like a whore! I was so angry and I quited.

I work at a major shipping/delivery company. Lots of conveyor belts packages up to 150lbs potential hazmat shipments and occasionally liquid or dry spills. We had a new hire show up in crocs. Policy says nonslip work shoes or boots with all leather uppers. Leather upper is due to hazmat.
