Antiwork

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…

People who were getting 20-25 are now getting like 5 or 11 hours for example. I got 12 hours this week! Today I got a shift from 7-10am. I was pissed. Mainly because it felt like a slap in the face. Up at 6am to be there at 7 to leave at 10? When I told my coworker a few days ago about it she went “I’d just call out. That’s ridiculous.” So I did. It’s supposed to be a no fault policy. But they asked me why when I called to say I wasn’t going to be in. I said my parents were across the country (which is true) and my grandma had a flooding in her house last night and…

Here on this sub and in real life I've heard countless stories of you can't have water at your desk, your desk must look a certain way you can't take more than 5 minutes to take a shit etc. One guy I know, before quitting was told that he was never allowed to speak out of turn at this old job mind you he was working with a team half of whom he was also driving to work. All this is kindergarten level micromanagement is counterproductive and the excuses are always the same, you doing x cost me time and money so we must dock you. I'm sorry but if you are so afraid of losing money cause sometimes an employee has to have a bathroom break longer than 5 minutes or needs to drink water at their desk or is 2 minutes late from a lunch break something is…
