>After complaining at work and hoping to enact change, a class of interns was met with a very unexpected outcome.
>A blog post on askamanager.com says that a reader recently scored a summer position at a company within the field the individual hopes to work in post-graduation. “Even though the division I was hired to work in doesn’t deal with clients or customers, there still was a very strict dress code,” the person wrote, adding that they felt the clothing rules were “overly strict” but weren’t going to complain. That is, “until I noticed one of the workers always wore flat shoes that were made from a fabric other than leather, or running shoes, even though both of these things were contrary to the dress code.”
>Angered by the hypocrisy, the reader rallied other interns, and the group wrote a proposal, along with a petition signed by the whole class (minus one who declined to participate). The request mostly focused on footwear, asking for non-dress shoes that would fit under a more business casual dress code, but also asked if it was possible for the workers to not have to wear suits and/or blazers in favor of a more casual but still professional dress code.
>The next day, everyone who signed was called into a meeting, where the lot was informed that due to their “unprofessional behavior,” they were being let go. “We were told to hand in our ID badges and to gather our things and leave the property ASAP,” the post reads. The young adults were shocked and weren’t given a chance to defend their actions. But that’s not the worst part. “Just before the meeting ended, one of the managers told us that the worker who was allowed to disobey the dress code was a former soldier who lost her leg and was therefore given permission to wear whatever kind of shoes she could walk in. You can’t even tell, and if we had known about this we would have factored it into our argument.”

This has to have something to do with them having shit parents. My parents instilled into me from an early age that life isn't fair; you deal with the bullshit until you get to make the rules, something these overgrown children never learned apparently.

Of course it is. They probably rallied 10 000 'friends' to harass the employees/employers online, write bullshit reviews and threats all over the place, got the home phone numbers of the bosses and starting calling them, etc.
The limits of these entitled fuckwits knows no bounds, they will literally physically assault someone for disagreeing with them, then bitch about it on twitter and lie until the person they assaulted gets arrested and is forced to issue an apology.
It's the same thing that happens to comedians and celebrities when they say something "offensive" on tv and make the rounds apologizing on Conan and Oprah for the next 2 weeks. Except now it can happen to an every day Joe thanks to social justice.

Exactly, and it's mostly if not entirely women who feel like they should be above dress codes 99% of all men just live with.
>>79505236
They ALWAYS look for ways to engage in victim-manufacturing to depict themselves as victims where they then declare it "necessary" for them to engage in social engineering to transform everyone else's shit to comply to their standards.
What boggles my mind is that these people literally had no bargaining power in the first place. What were they thinking that they thought that the company would relent to their demands? Usually when people go on strike or protest a company, they have a skill that would actually hurt the company but these are just interns that could be replace in no time.

Doesn't matter.
The average leftist millenial is so stuck-up arrogant that he or she literally believes all rules should revolve around their feelings.
While I find the story funny by just how stupid they are and how bad they got btfo I don't see a point in wearing a full 3 piece suit for a simple intern job that doesn't even talk to customers.
All the offices I've worked at either abandons the dress code or didn't have it. It was just don't look like a fucking stoner bumb. Not only was it much more comfortable for us but productivity went up too.
The only reason I see even wearing a suit is if you are in high positions.
>work in IT
>have a casual dress code (khakis, no t-shirts), but no one ever follows it
>not even upper management questions us because they think we can hijack their work at any time (which we can, since everything is server-side now)
It's called making a name for yourself. Once you do, you can get away with alot of things that breaks the rules. Millennials have it in their minds that they are hot shit just coming out of their liberal indoctrination camps
These retards are the reason why experience is valued more than education, even moreso than before
>Marxists getting what they deserve.
Breaking the conditioning is more fun than I thought it would be.
Even in my absolute degenerate job, I know that I'm not working for myself and need to compromise as long as I'm being paid by somebody else.

If the job you need to do relies upon drawing a straight line without a ruler, the only consideration to clothing that truely matters is if that clothing restricts your physical ability to perform the required task. So long as you succeed in that task, nothing else matters.
Every single thing else is merely someone lording their power over you and is the mark of a leader who shouldn't be followed.
School uniform arguements bull shit all over again.
>>79512962
The why doesn't matter. It's their damn business, they can enforce whatever dress code they like, and interns who don't like it can fuck off and find some other job that caters to their feelings.
I'm guessing you'd be one of the entitled shits who joined their little crusade.

you instantly call out bullshit on a post on 4chan of somebody who is low in the work hierarchy (me, the intern) is making probably double what you make.

>>79514004
They didn't do that though. If they'd asked the boss or the guy or even one of the actual workers, it could have been resolved amicably. Instead, they did what hashtag warriors always do and immediately escalated the situation as far as they could, convinced of their own righteousness and therefore convinced that they'd be vindicated in the end. It never even crossed their minds that they might be in the wrong just this once. It's like sitting down to a game of poker and immediately going all-in without even looking at your cards.

Its an internship for a short amount of time and you just want to leave a good impression. On casual Friday you stay in business cloths and if you see someone breaking the dress code rules you don't give a fuck because it looks bad for them not you.
>>79506548
This! It is a statement of effort. It also creates and enforces an atmosphere of "I'm at work".
>>79504330
I've never understood why people have an issue with a dress code, I've worked at 2 IT companies and both have had a professional dress code and it has never bothered me; I actually quite like wearing a suit to work. A dress code is such a non issue to me though, I wouldn't care either way.

those people should play some gaymes like EU4 so they learn that you never go to war without all your sides covered. even the fact that they were 10 people and no one even tried or thought about talking to co-workers or their supervisors is hilarious and Im glad they got kicked out.

even if we assume that's true, saying that people in a demographic group, that also encompasses people in their mid-thirties, are all entitled children, is retarded
>>79506485
That's the part that gets me. You're interns, not full time workers. You do what you're fucking told, you don't get to make demands.
And the dress code makes perfect sense. The whole point of an internship is to prepare you to work for real in the corporate world, so why wouldn't you be expected to dress appropriately?
As a millineal, fuck I hate millineals
>the group wrote a proposal, along with a petition signed by the whole class (minus one who declined to participate). The request mostly focused on footwear, asking for non-dress shoes that would fit under a more business casual dress code, but also asked if it was possible for the workers to not have to wear suits and/or blazers in favor of a more casual but still professional dress code.
I love shitting on millenials as much as the next guy but frankly this sounds pretty civil
How else would you go about requesting a change of workplace policy?
Firing them all seems pretty harsh, it's not like they caused a scene or anything
>>79517863
Not necessarily. It's this woman in her 60s who needs a walker to do her job. It's a bit of a downer to see someone in obvious arthritic pain. I hope death relieves her shortly.
>>79517981
I've worked hundreds of hours unpaid but my dedication shows when I come back from a weeked/weeks vacation and find the place in shambles. I gotta make the times seem legit and got away with going under two minutes before hitting 40 hours.

No, because the workers would actually have a skills to leverage, these interns have nothing.

Even the CEO of the place didn't care and would only tell you to dress up if you had a client meeting.

You seem like a cunt deserving of her job. I doubt you are even a real female tbqhf. If some circumstance ever has me set foot in a walmart im going to go right to the meat section and knock all the bologna off the wall, just to see you pick it all up, slut.

I could understand unpaid interns because suits are expensive.
However these interns have already been there a while and have the necessary clothes.
>>79518698
dont know wtf cgl is, but there was a thread just like this yesterday and the OP was called out for being a middle aged attention whore. i could be mistaken but the chances aren't great. i dont have anything against walmart workers but you seem like a dick/cunt. btw, don't you have any niggers working there?
>>79518851

>>79518698
I used to work at a Kmart we had one of those giant old big screen TVs with a shitty gross ass couch.
When I was working there for 4yrs I saw lots of loss and shit meet some really fucked up people even tried to helped some with fixing there lives. The pay was min wage and I never got a raise even though I was asked to do everything under the sun even went around to other stores to help with back up. Kmart fucking sucked and I hope all these big corporations die and the mom/pop stores come back. Fuck them they don't give a single shit about there own people.

>>79504330
What happened to the dude who didn't sign? Did the company recognize his baseness?
>>79518025
It's a term usually used by older people who just want a way to lump "all those kids" into one bucket without having to think. There's no better flag for knowing someone is out of touch.
However, the interns in this article are sure earning the name.

>>79506309
did you read it? the one person who didnt sign was the person who they were triggered by not wearing leather shoes, who was ALLOWED THR EXCEPTION DUE TO ONLY HAVING ONE LEG who was ALSO the person who did not sign the petition.
>>79519387
That person was a full time worker. The person who declined to participate was "one of the class", aka one of the interns.
>>79518967
>suits are expensive
They're as expensive as you want them to be. You can get a decent suit for like £80, you can even wear it every day as long as you change your shirt and/or tie and nobody will even notice.
>>79519334
im really curious as to what's on the "definitions" page...
>>79507797
that's a lie, faggit.
>>79506548
I don't agree with the protest but anyone defending a conservative dress code is a bitch. People who wear suits and ties everyday need to kill themselves.
>>79519789
>>79506548
>>79517389
It seems unproductive and out of touch. If you make people uncomfortable and hot, you aren't going to get the best out of them. This is why the top companies don't institute this policy.
>>79513196
>the why doesn't matter
This entire board is nothing but bootlicking cucks.
>>79519789
What's wrong with a suit and tie?
>>79519058
Whey bother to commant
>>79511579
The point is to not break the rules and if you're a leader in the business to not let rules get broken. You let one thing slide and it makes it ok for people to not follow whatever rule they don't like and it will affect your business. It's a slippery slope when it comes to letting things slide.
>>79520180
>Wearings suits is uncomfortable and hot
I'm sorry it's not like your one-size-fits-all transkin dress, but a well-fit suit is comfortable as fuck.

>>79520457
The only thing you need to apologize for is your atrocious use of hyphens. I work in an office where everyone makes a 6+ figure salary, the only people wearing suits are the sales reps. Now, scurry along somewhere else and pretend your're a big shot for wearing your cheap suit.

I work for a major American company. We do have casual days and there is some dressing down in the office, but they actually did a study and it found that employees were more productive when and produced better results on non-casual days.
> casual work environment, jeans and shit
> wear business casual attire at all times any way, button shirt, slacks, comfy dress shoes
> get promoted faster than anyone else hired at the same time
Just because everyone else dresses like slobs is no excuse for you to do the same
>>79520826
While that's gross I do feel like society fails to educate women properly about their biology because it's kind of taboo.
If they don't have a very trusting relationship with an older female who isn't scared to talk about it I don't see how they can learn about it.

Why would you want to go to work and dress like you're in your living room? It isn't peacocking if everyone has to follow the dress code and nobody outside the office is going to see them. If anything changing the dress code would create a peacock environment.
Dressing that way even in workplaces where it isn't the dress code is a great way to show your employer you give a shit.
>>79514624
If you are really bringing money to the company nobody gives a shit about your clothes as long as you have some.
>>79517981
that sounds terrible. is there no way to make it better? Is anybody happy working at walmart?

How about you just do a good job to show your employer you give a shit.
Oh right because you want to peacock around in a suit.
