Male teacher gets dress-coded for wearing a t-shirt despite half the staff wearing t-shirts daily: ‘Our school is near being an F school, half of our staff are not certified, but my shirt is the problem’
Your outfit can tell a lot about the job you do. That’s why I don’t understand why we insist that teachers, the profession that interacts with children more than any other, mustn’t wear informal clothing ever.

‘Leave immediately’: Manager kicks server off shift, ordering them to go home and change clothes in order to comply with dress code
Enforcing a dress code on employees is a tale as old as time. And in some cases, I get it. You knew what you were getting into when starting working there. Other times, I don’t get it. That is, when managers are inconsistent in terms of their expectations. One day they say this, the other …
