So, two years ago I got one of the jobs I was really hoping for. After working in the front desk of various hotels, I finally got a back office job at the commercial department. Everything was great. 9-5, not having to work on weekends or bank holidays, and I get to see a total 0 customers/clients throughout the day, which is a BIG relief.
However, I do not understand why my company (european) does not let us WFH. It's nonsense since I do not have to deal with any meetings (really) or do any visit in my hotel. But since WFH in my industry is not a very common thing, I kinda let it go.
But, and this the reason of my post, I do not understand why:
1- We have to wear uniform (shirt with a tie, black dress pants)
2- We can't wear a polo on summer. Thing is, people working on the rooftop wear polos. It is common sense since it is almost summer, temperatures are high and they may sweat. That's fine!! But for whatever reason, upper management can't allow me, an office worker, to wear any kind of short sleeved polo/shirt.
I told this to my boss, who (I want to believe) told the hotel director. I don't know when did this “request” happen, but her answer was that him (hotel director) wasn't giving in.
Fair to say that I love my job and I really like what I do, along with my office mates. But this kinds of things drive me crazy. I had to let it all out and if I'm wrong, let me know. I'd like to know your POV.
