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. That ability should be stripped away and redistributed though the intern pool. Remember, you didn't earn it on your own anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in the office this is the guy that you don't fuck with. He has no sense of humor. Ba-bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I only grew my beard out during the holidays and Hockey playoff schedules. I rarely came into the office at those times for that reason...and I got a "pass"....guess why? Yep...I FUCKING EARNED THAT PASS AND MADE PEOPLE MONEY!!!! Stupid liberals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildcat Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 HAHA... Fucking hilarious. Thats right you were told no than spent extra time wasting the companies money to fuck off on some dress code proposal that wouldn't fly. They are lucky they even got that far. I had to speak in one of my companies training classes yesterday and man the 20 yr old kids now a days are dumb. there was like 4 good ones out of 15 of them.

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted June 30, 2016 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) We had one intern in our business unit last year. The kid slept most of the time then was on the Internet watching sports when he was awake. Now he's a direct employee at GM and acts like a junior rocket scientist. Amazing how some fuck ups advance by luck or get shit handed to them. The group he is working with now really don't like him. He walks around like a peacock with zero experience only schooling Edited June 30, 2016 by Skidooski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delgaty Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Nothing going wrong with asking. I think a simple "no" from management would have been appropriate. No reason to fire anyone. I think the best way to do it would have been to wear shoes like the guy who broke code and if you're questioned just act as if you thought it was OK because you saw someone else (don't name) wearing them. Lots of places have dress codes that aren't enforced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebsell Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 An intern trying to change company policy. What could possibly go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delgaty Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Where I work our dress code says absolutely no denim. Over half of men and some women wear jeans every day. They send out manager memos about the dress code and there's no change. Why? Because it's 2016 and no one cares if you're wearing a suit and tie anymore. Even one of the division managers wears dressy jeans with leather office casual shoes every day. I got pretty pissed the other day. Foreman was trying to figure out how to string pipe down a Boulevard with driveways. Many were gravel and one guy who just started suggested getting the landowner permission to dig trenches in their driveway, throwing plates over top and then restoring the driveway after they installed the pipe. I thought it was pretty bright and it was cheaper than installing smaller chunks at a time. The foreman told him to STFU he's not allowed to have ideas, he's paid to throw pipe and dig holes. The more ideas presented, the better chance of finding the best option, period. His decision was to just string it out and hope no one complained. Piss poor attitude if you ask me. Everyone's opinion should be valued. Edited June 30, 2016 by Delgaty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get paid for ideas, give them. Otherwise STFU. I saw 2 idiots get fired by my father for thinking they were smarter than him.... one was my oldest brother.

Ebsell Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I would have let them go as well. They are interns. If they have the nerve to stir the pot already can you emagine what they will be like after a few years. nip it in the bud early and start fresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
