ask around... maybe there's other people who aren't so hot on them either. have a talk with management about it, and maybe they will have reasons for it that will help you reconcile the situation. if not, THEN you can start a petition and see if you can get it abolished. consider, though, that a uniform gives you all a sense of community and puts you all on the same page in the workplace. |

if i'm in a position (some companies allow workers feedback) to comment on the uniform i would probably do so. However if the uniform is compulsory for my work place and there's no valid reason for me to defy it (not with silly reasons like stupid colour choice) i would just have to follow the rules. Yeah, if it gets me paid than i just gotta go with it, hoping tht one day when i get to rise in the company ladder i don't have to wear the uniform and instead impose it to my employees..hehe..how bout tht? |

Sounds as if you have a choice...wear the uniform and get paid or find another job. Welcome to life as an adult. |

This happened to me; TWICE! In both circumstances, I had to follow the rule. But somehow, managed to make it "fit my picture" of how I wanted to look; and turned out to be OK in both instances! |

What would I do... If I were the only one dissapproving, I would start looking for another job, but in the meantime I would have to accept the new terms of contract. Who knows, whilst looking, I may get to like my uniform... |

start a petition of everyone that does not want to wear it, and have a meeting with the management and explain to them why you don't want to wear the uniforms. |

Begin looking for another job, or consider applying for promotion or transfer which does not require uniform. |

I guess it would basically depend on how much I valued my job. I'm sort of faced with a similar situation where I work. At the facility where I'm working at right now, everyone is going to have to quit smoking as of July 4th of next year (07). Let me clarify this a little, we can still smoke away from work, but not at the facility itself. Is not being able to have a cigarette at work worth trying to find another job, especially when society as a whole is hell-bent on eliminating smoking everywhere, even in bars? I think not.
Although I don't particularly care for this mandate, I have a good job with good benefits, and I'm not getting any younger, so I'm going to make the best of it as will many others.
In your case, I can't judge your situation because I really don't know how you feel about your job and what sort of opportunities would be available for you outside of your current job. I think you have to ask yourself how important is this uniform issue to you and are there any other issues about your job that tend to make you want to blow the uniform thing out of proportion. What I mean, are there really other things about your job that are getting to you or causing you stress, making this uniform thing just the "last straw?"
Good jobs that provide a living wage, health insurance, 401K plans, and PTO(paid time off),etc., are not as easy to come by today as they once were. Globalization, both husband and wife having to work to make ends meet and raise a family, and loss of worker solidarity as a result of unions becoming extinct and losing their effectiveness and appeal in general, all contribute to a work climate where if you really have a "beef" about something and can't get it resolved, then the only alternatives for you are to put up with the situation or find another job, if this is even an option.
So my friend, is the uniform thing the real issue here, and what alternatives do you have, job wise, if you do decide to "get on down the road?"
And one other thing. There is a plus side to this uniform thing, especially if your company is going to pay for them. You won't have to worry about buying a lot of different clothes to wear to work. I work in a hospital and have to buy my own scrubs. But they do seem to last for a good long time. |

Wonderful Question.
My employer insists on shirt, tie and trousers for men, but any thing goes for women.
We work in dirty places, such as warehouses for DIY firms, and get filthy.
Now, on top of the fact women can, and do, turn up looking like siht, whilst us guys are smartly dressed (though we all get dirty and dusty during our shift), they now expect us to wear hardened baseball caps and steel toe capped boots.
So, you now have a work force of guys wearing shirts, ties, trousers, baseball caps, and hob nail boots, whilst covered in siht.
This is supposed to portray a professional image.
I can only tell you this :
If they really enforce it, they can shove their job up their ***.
Bollcoks, absolute bollcoks. |

If you are in the position to wear one you will have to. Or you can go work somewhere else. I'm with you in that they can keep it...I'd get a job where I can be an individual. Oh, I have! |

am sure for the employer to require that u wear uniform, it must be part of company policy. so what u have to do is choose what u think is best, follow the rules (wear uniform) en keep your job or break the rules and risk losing your Job. My advice if u really value the job u have is just to wear the uniform. After all not all employees in the army or police force wear uniforms, but the all belong to those institutions. |

suck it up if i liked the job aside from the uniform or look for a new job. if you're getting bent over a new dress code chances are you should do the second. |

if the uniforms were just plain ugly and made everyone who wore them look bad, i'd be taking another job elsewhere...
but if i didn't like the uniforms because, say, it wasn't a color that I liked - i'd probably get over it sooner or later.... |

Put on the uniform, stop moaning like a b*tch and just be glad that I had a job in the first place |

Wear them or look for another job. What has uniform got to do with bringing a paycheck home. |

Private, drop and give me 50 push-ups, then get back in line.
Yea, the ones on base that don't have to wear uniforms are called civilians. |
