Got Written Up for Wearing Cargo Shorts in Summer

Yep. I work for a dealership company doing IT at multiple locations, but my car's clutch unfortunately went up and is currently in the shop. Luckily enough, my job is in walking distance-ish (45 minute walk) so I've been making that work for now. I installed new computers for new employees on Friday, so I thought I would do everyone a favor and come in early to make sure there's no issues with them. I took one step outside and it was HOT. I knew that the thick ass black jeans probably werent the play, so I put on cargo shorts and a belt with my company logo'd polo and was off to work. No one cares about my attire EVER except my brand new boss (who is infinitely worse than my last one. He's ex-military. Enough said.), but he's at headquarters anyways. I got a call later from my…


Yep. I work for a dealership company doing IT at multiple locations, but my car's clutch unfortunately went up and is currently in the shop. Luckily enough, my job is in walking distance-ish (45 minute walk) so I've been making that work for now.

I installed new computers for new employees on Friday, so I thought I would do everyone a favor and come in early to make sure there's no issues with them. I took one step outside and it was HOT. I knew that the thick ass black jeans probably werent the play, so I put on cargo shorts and a belt with my company logo'd polo and was off to work. No one cares about my attire EVER except my brand new boss (who is infinitely worse than my last one. He's ex-military. Enough said.), but he's at headquarters anyways.

I got a call later from my boss saying he's heard reports that I was not in company attire and that I was being written up. I explained that I had to walk there and it was hot. This was the ONLY day I had broken it and it was for good reason. I WAS STILL DRENCHED GETTING THERE. He basically said well, we told you to wear what we told you to wear and youre getting written up. Go home and change them come back. Clock out for the time youre getting there. So not only do I have to make the same trip TWICE in this heat, I get the pleasure of doing it in the same thick ass jeans at noon. When the sun is at its highest point.

I know who fucking sent the email to them too. Theres another ex-military tech that I don't see too often but I did run into today because he had something to do there. I would bet my fucking house that it was him. Tired of giving my all and just being fucked over.
