I HATE MY JOB
[ rakaur on Sat Mar 04 at 10:23 AM // category: eastgate, work ]
My shoes are black with a small, silver “N” (for New Balance), and some silver stripes of some sort. My socks are solid black with a white Adidas logo. These are, apparently, both completely and utterly unacceptable for a company as prestigious as a movie theatre.
For years, we’ve been allowed to wear tennis shoes, so long as they were black, and white socks, so long as they were covered. However, quite suddenly, my area manager decides that uniforms need to be more strict, because it makes us look bad (however, things like bad equipment, dirty screens, holes in the building, no fire system, etc are completely acceptable, because he’d have to spend money to fix those). So, I’m one of the only people that even bothers to wear black socks, but since I have a white portion on them, it’s a uniform violation. Since my shoes have a silver “N” on them, it’s a uniform violation. He said he was going to write me up for it. I said if he did then I’m quitting.
Oh, and for the first time in like six months I had some gum in my mouth. That is, apparently, the sin which makes me akin to fucking Satan himself.
He also threatened to write one of my friends up, even though he was off the clock, because he had his shirt undone as he was walking out. Apparently they can even control our lives when it’s not on their time, because we’re “still a part of the company” when we’re in uniform, or some stupid shit.
I hate that place.
