‘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 …
