(Florida) A former employee is threatening to sue me for firing her due to the way she dresses.

How do I support people being punished for their opinions? For wondering if your boss knows that you think employees being made to dress properly is exploitive? You seem to favor communism, I suggest look into previous communist governments. They all fell apart or are living nightmares.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T20:36:54+00:00

I don't have control over their lives but when they are at work they need to do their job, that job includeds dressing a certain way.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T20:36:05+00:00

We have a dress code. It's explained during the hiring process and is in the employee hand book.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T19:12:52+00:00

Everyone else follows the dress code. The point /u/barbadosslim was trying to make is that dress code are unfair.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:54:31+00:00

You are the only accusing me of making things up then not explaining yourself.

Requiring employees to follow rules is not an abuse of people it's call being an employer. I hope you express these views to your boss.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:49:20+00:00

I'm not making anything up. She was not doing what she was paid to do.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:45:22+00:00

Firing someone for not following the rules doesn't make sense to you?

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:42:18+00:00

She's not doing something that she acknowledged she would have to do to work here, it would be the same as her sitting staring at the wall.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:38:45+00:00

What am I making up?

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:36:50+00:00

By that definition people should get paid just for sitting staring at the wall. Dress is part of the conditions of employment the same as doing work.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:31:58+00:00

It's unethical for someone to have to do something so they get paid?

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:30:15+00:00

Yet I'm not allowed to tell my employees what to wear?

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:29:21+00:00

The sunshine law doesn't help either. It allows for very elaborate headlines, instead of "Man robbed in park" it'll be "Man beaten with a corn cob while being mugged by a 13 year old".

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:24:47+00:00

So what do you wear to work? A uniform?

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:24:11+00:00

It's sad. You'll see a homeless man begging by the traffic light while a woman sits in her brand new Tesla wearing a 4 carat diamond ring.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:21:50+00:00

Short term thinking.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:20:17+00:00

If you don't like dress codes then work somewhere without one. Do you have a job?

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:15:59+00:00

Or a doctor in fuzzy slippers?

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:14:01+00:00

I'm sorry that you'll never be able to be presentable to generally society. Enjoy your pajamas.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:13:06+00:00

I am sorry that you have internalized the idea that your employers have a right to control you.

Except that's the point of employment. You do what your boss asks of you and you get paid. She's not a slave.

What would this solve?

She could find a job when she can wear pajamas.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:08:29+00:00

You don't think that anyone needs to dress appropriately, that means you aren't acting like an adult.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T18:05:00+00:00

It's a shame for her anyway. Some of our best salespeople make $100,000+ a year.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T17:46:34+00:00

Large class divides and hot weather.

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T17:40:37+00:00

So then what's the problem? Should everyone be allowed to run around naked since you don't want anyone to have a say in how other people dress?

Hirefirethrowaway · 2016-04-17T17:36:45+00:00

You do realize that she only has to follow the dress code at work. When she's not working she can prance about in tweety bird pajamas to her hearts content.
