Alright so here is the situation.
I work in logistics in a warehouse of a big name company. This company has a dress code that doesn't allow us to wear shorts, even with leggings or spandex underneath to still cover the legs. Safety is the issue on why.
I like to wear shorts all of the time. I have a co-worker who is trans and wears a dress to work everyday. She also wears leggings underneath. I have no problem with anyone wearing what they want. I also want to wear what I want.
I have asked my boss and HR about me wanting wearing shorts multiple times to no avail.
They say no everytime, its unsafe. Yet, my co-worker comes in day after day in a dress…
If I go into work in shorts, or even a dress and get in trouble, do I have any sort of ammo saying that my co-worker has gotten away with it since she started with no punishment?
I want to be clear, I absolutely DO NOT want my co-worker in any sort of trouble.
I just want my company to treat us all equal and if they allow her to wear a dress with no problem, I should be allowed the same with shorts.
If anyone has any advice on what steps I should take next?
