that's not always true, kelly
ideally, it would work that way but in reality it doesn't. i hate dress codes. for my stupid job during the holidays, my boss won't let me wear a hat. that means i'll have to cut my hair really short which really fucking lacks cuz its taken me 5 months to grow my hair this long. -s.

Really not to sure. I have been in both situations were I was provided with the uniform and where I had to provide my own. Both were just as persistant (ie bitched at me )when I didnt wear the right clothes to work.

I work at a clothing store, according to the work code in bc ( cant remember the name at this moment) you do not have to wear the clothes unless they provide u with them, however u do have follow the company rules. So at my work, they say u dont have to wear the brand, but u have to wear somthing u can sell that looks exactly the same. (thats how companies get around it) so basiclay u have to wear the clothes. I also noticed that if u do u get more shifts!

Um. Dress codes are pretty consistent in just about any job that doesn't require a Computing Science degree. Good luck getting a big business job in anything less than a suit and tie, and good luck working in retail in blue jeans.
Dress codes do actually exist for a reason. Cope with them or get a computing science degree. I don't know how many jobs I've had where they provide you a shirt and then require you to have your own black pants or whatnot. Including the one I'm currently working in, and that's a union job.

We have a dress code here too... I don't mind it... I like dressing all business-like. And if you work in an office environment it often doesn't matter if you have a Comp Sci degree either... you have to go with the company's policy.
It's different, though, to say dress business casual than it is to say wear "a red shirt with a black blazer over top". That's more of a uniform than a dress code and I think they should provide it. Of course, companies will do whatever they can get away with and you kinda just have to deal with it.

Fuck, I wish I could just tell my work to buy me the clothes that are appropriate for work...
but yeah. I work in a 'professional' environment with the potential for 'client visits' (really, they're in the office across the hall..and then the others are in victoria and they occasionally visit)..so you have to look the part. But really, I feel a lot better about going to work in nice clothes than wearing a hairnet and a dorky uniform.

ok so i don't have to wear the red shirt, and i can collect my vacation pay after 6 days from when i quit!
how bout this... the bank said they received the deposit bag with slips, but no money.....so i supposedly stole the money they're investigating it..but if it doesn't turn up, i pay for it i didn't steal it, and i shouldn't have to pay for someone elses mistake...can they legally take the money outta my pay check?

As far as the cash, talk to labour relations as well, and don't buy anything big or deposit large sums of cash into your bank ;)
