Yeah, my thought too. There are enough things wrong with that company - this one policy change doesn't seem that bad to me. I mean, I'd certainly prefer more leeway than less, but there are a million other chains with more restrictive dress codes. For many, it's a single specific color pants and a uniform shirt. The updated dress code isn't horrific.
"We demand the right to wear plaid."
From what I've seen of this new dress code the baristas aren't allowed to show collarbone and basically any normal cut shirt does not qualify. I'm talking regular long sleeve black shirt does not cut it.
It seems they basically want everyone in turtle necks or buttoned up to the equivalent area of the neck which is a style most people don't already own.
So they have to buy new shirts and the company is not paying for what amounts to a new uniform. Which is shitty.
I've worked for places that required a uniform before and the company provided the first uniform.
If that's true it's not mentioned in the article. It just says they have to wear a black shirt and blue, black, khaki, or denim pants.
If there are many other issues then a perceptibly small thing can be the straw that breaks the camels back.
Could be, but then they should strike because of the set of things, not the straw.
They probably don't even want to work, either. All they want is avocado toast.
Damn, either that was the worst choice of jokes possible, or you picked the wrong social media platform to express that opinion
I think people just don't get the subtlety to stop trauma comparing. Anytime employees strike because of bullshit is good. I just have a problem with the marginalization of a strike, regardless of tone of the person. Which, above, does a fairly good job at it, which is shitty. I still think it's a shitty conservative opinion. Thus, my sarcasm to point that out, which apparently either wasn't understood or was outright disagreed with. So that's neat.
Yeah, it didn't really read as sarcasm, sorry. If it was just me that didn't read it that way, I'd say it was my thick head and feel like a twat for missing it.
But, hey, they can't all be winners. Plenty of my attempts fall flat too, so you aren't alone :)
I've caught bans for the wrong joke at the wrong time, or missed sarcasm lol. Sometimes, it doesn't even matter if it is super clear, it might end up with the wrong audience.
I think people are still super used to everyone on the internet being gargantuan assholes and are quick to be defensive. I honestly don't fit in in most places because I've done my time being an asshole when I was a teenager and don't want to be that way anymore. It's too much energy and entirely pointless and toxic. I don't blame people for reading me that way, the world sucks too much right now and the amount and level of rhetoric everywhere is insane, but I do have to try to not let it be disheartening. Honestly, if the majority of people read it negatively, then that's still likely on me.
I liked it. Good comedy.
