Snake Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I was able to get a summer internship at a company that does work in the industry I want to work in after I graduate. Even though the division I was hired to work in doesn’t deal with clients or customers, there still was a very strict dress code. I felt the dress code was overly strict but I wasn’t going to say anything, until I noticed one of the workers always wore flat shoes that were made from a fabric other than leather, or running shoes, even though both of these things were contrary to the dress code. I spoke with my manager about being allowed some leeway under the dress code and was told this was not possible, despite the other person being allowed to do it. I soon found out that many of the other interns felt the same way, and the ones who asked their managers about it were told the same thing as me. We decided to write a proposal stating why we should be allowed someone leeway under the dress code. We accompanied the proposal with a petition, signed by all of the interns (except for one who declined to sign it) and gave it to our managers to consider. Our proposal requested that we also be allowed to wear running shoes and non leather flats, as well as sandals (not flip-flops though) and other non-dress shoes that would fit under a more business casual dress code. It was mostly about the footwear, but we also incorporated a request that we not have to wear suits and/or blazers in favor of a more casual, but still professional dress code. The next day, all of us who signed the petition were called into a meeting where we thought our proposal would be discussed. Instead, we were informed that due to our “unprofessional” behavior, we were being let go from our internships. We were told to hand in our ID badges and to gather our things and leave the property ASAP. We were shocked. The proposal was written professionally like examples I have learned about in school, and our arguments were thought out and well-reasoned. We weren’t even given a chance to discuss it. http://www.askamanager.org/2016/06/i-was-fired-from-my-internship-for-writing-a-proposal-for-a-more-flexible-dress-code.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a big article on what a loser Bernie Sanders was until he got into politics (he's still a loser though). A shitty carpenter that ran his mouth constantly and lived in his car while being fired from one crew to another. AWESOME! Still better than Hillary though.

GGNHL Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Stupid interns. I wear hiking boots to work every day even in a professional office environment because I earned the ability to have some leeway on things through work effort, not to mention when I go on customer visits I'm not changing shoes to go to a logging operation. New guys coming in still all wear nice business shoes. The intern's at that company wanted the same benefits as more seasoned staff, entitlement mentality.
