Dress code change

[Greenandred]

At our huddle this morning they said that we will be receiving a new digital employee handbook next month on Workday and that there will be a secret change to the dress code. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? The company maybwant to create consistency in our outfits so we all look the same.

A secret change?

A secret change?

Which is soon going to be public 😂😂

 

[Greenandred]

That’s the way they worded it. The ETL’s don’t know what it is.

No more red? Vests only? Any color of pants?

It looks like it is on workday now. It says last updated 3/25/22. It looks pretty normal to me, except drive up TMs can wear shorts. I don’t have drive up so I don’t know if that was already the policy and I was just unaware.

Edit: It looks like it was already allowed, even though lots of team members complain about it not being allowed at their stores. ASANTS.

Anyone working in the heat exposure is allowed to wear shorts :It’s been in the handbook since forever .

Yeah it's been a thing for awhile.

Getting my hopes up as a TSS that spends ~4.5 hours of my shift patrolling the lot 🙃

Shorts should have been fucking allowed since the beginning of the company. Fuck pants.

At our store as recently as last summer, only cart attendants were allowed to officially wear shorts.

 

[DBZ]

Our DU TMs were allowed to wear shorts last summer.

Most stores are exposed to the heat since the company is too cheap to crank up the ac, so we should all be able to wear shorts.

You have no idea how much I would have loved for them to have cranked up the ac when I worked at the Pizza Hell they have at Tarshit.

I've been wearing shorts all along. Nobody said anything, not even the vice president when we had a walkthrough. I take that as nobody cares.

Ok I deeply apologizing for completely derailing this thread by mentioning the word “shorts”. Evidently it has always been allowed.

We only need about 7 or 8 more people commenting about how they are or aren’t allowed to wear shorts for drive up at their store even though the question has been thoroughly answered several times already, but let’s not get into double digits.

 

[Far from newbie]

So……if ‘shorts‘ is NOT the NEW dress code change……..what IS ?

 

[dannyy315]

What I would give to wear cargo shorts in the summer. Please.

 

[reverselogistics]

Being a Receiver it would be nice to be able to wear shorts where there’s no fan or air conditioning all day.

It was 98degrees in the back by tech during last years 110+ heatwave. Still forced to where pants.

So, getting back to the original question, do we know yet what the "secret" change is? Personally, I wouldn't mind some consistency. We have one TM whose favorite shirt seems to be a gray plaid with a teeny bit of red in it. And one female TM who seems to think everyone needs to see that she has an "innie" when she lifts her arms to put something on a higher shelf and her very short shirt rides up. ASANTS can be a little ridiculous.

As long as they don't take jeans away. If I had to go back to khakis I would cry.

Does anyone have a link to the dress code in Workday?

 

[Anelmi]

I checked out the April Planner yesterday and it says "color change" or something similar.
