Like today I came in with my usual jacket and was told “you can’t wear that, it has a hood.” When I asked her “Going forward will I no longer be allowed to wear my usual jackets?” They told me street wear was never acceptable I’m the policy hand book.
Well for one I don’t think it’s street wear and 2 I’ve been working here for 2 years now and have never been told it was a problem. I even asked if it was ok around the time I was hired and told it was ok, so to come out of left field like this just kinda put a bad taste in my mouth.
There’s also a no phone policy that they’re cracking down on as well but then I noticed my assistant manager on her her phone at her desk. I didn’t say anything bc I don’t wanna be a dick but it just kinda feels fucked you know. I know it wasn’t for work because they were talking about a personal thing.
I guess the worst thing is that I had a talk with my manager, and I thought things were better. I had mentioned doing something that they said they said was ok because it would help me with work, but when it was mentioned I was belittled and told I need to learn to work faster “but ok.”
I just don’t understand why things are the way they are now. I know I’m a good worker and I do my best everyday at work, but I feel so unappreciated and that the workplace is so toxic now.
