Enforcing a dress code on employees is a tale as old as time. And in some cases, I get it. You knew what you were getting into when starting working there. Other times, I don't get it. That is, when managers are inconsistent in terms of their expectations. One day they say this, the other day they say that… Who is to know what is right? This server was completely at a loss after being kicked off shift for not complying with the dress code… Even though two weeks prior, they had been told that th…

Ridiculous on every level

Don't mess with the dress

The one thing in life you cannot control is the family you are born into. It's like playing Russian roulette; there's no guarantee that the grownups in your life are capable of raising you.

Nobody likes a boss who arbitrarily makes up reasons to berate their employees just because they're having a bad day and feel like taking it out on someone.
