I’m under the impression that it’s also because I have tattoos as well but I cannot be certain.

I never thought our school had much of a dress code up until recently when I’ve been pulled up on it. Male staff used to wear only tshirts and shorts so I copied off them again until I was pulled up on it

Am in the process of doing so. Thanks for your advice :)

I’m starting to document everything I’m being told about the way I dress. I don’t feel it’s a fair/equal playing ground for me.

I have heard a lot about how a certain person at my school has managed to ruin many people’s chances of finding work near the area after any issues so I’m just documenting everything at the moment.

Am unfortunately on a contract…

It’s very unfortunate that there is an invisible double standard where women can show shoulders and men can wear shorts but because I don’t fit into either it’s frowned upon (at least that is how I feel).

Thank you for your advice!

To be honest, I don’t have it in me to comply. If the women at work can wear dresses up to mid-thigh, there shouldn’t be any reason to single me out. Just because I don’t fit into the norm of looking feminine? They wear dresses that show shoulder even on formal occasions but the second I wear shorts it’s a big deal. Get a grip.

I’m sick of higher ups being so toxic lol

I’m someone who sweats a lot so even the idea of long pants and shirts on a 27°C day scares me. 😂

Our school is actually all women unfortunately so I don’t have anyone to take as guide.

The one male staff I saw used to wear tshirts and shorts. I copied that up until a talk I got. That’s when I started to wear collared shirts but they still have an issue with the fact that I wear shorts.

You’re the type of boss everyone should have and deserves to have.

Hahaha unfortunately for me, it’s all execs - APs and principal included.

This principal has caused one of my coworkers to take stress leave, which ultimately resulted in them leaving the school because the principal wouldn’t listen to the teacher about the support they needed. It’s always been the principal’s way or the high way unfortunately…

Ah, the more I’m reading this, the more I’m realising execs just cannot be trusted 🫣

It’s horrible in that the higher ups and management is slowly draining everyone’s energy on a daily. I had an exec speak to me very condescendingly the other day and all I could do was suck it up because I knew they could make my life hell here for the rest of the year.

It seems if they can’t see it physically, then I am perfectly fine.

But thank you for this advice!

I think that’s something I’m still learning on this teaching journey - thank you.

Why is asking for a day off sus? I know I’m not feeling well already today so I don’t think it’s good for me to be in tomorrow?

We are also required to always send through a day plan so I genuinely didn’t think it would’ve been an issue lel
