I’m scouting for jobs I’d actually enjoy working at as opposed to just “getting a job cus I should get a job”. I’m 20 btw, not independent yet, but I’d still like to have a job ya know? The only Job I know of that is mega lax with their dress codes are (i think) Hot Topic and Spencer’s. Do you guys have any other places that are similar? I’d like to be able to express my Alt-fashion choices :D
(Please dont be rude or mean in the comments, thank you!)
In most factories and warehouses they generally don’t give a damn what you wear as long as it covers the important bits and it isn’t a safety issue. I have a friend that literally just works in her sports bra on hot days at her warehouse job and nobody cares. Odds are they will also pay much better than retail too. Of course depending on the environment there may be special considerations like steel toe shoes or such. But steel toes are alt fashion anyways.
gonna need the deets of that job/warehouse rn. a nice, robust sorta jobat a warehouse sounds really nice tbh. I WANNA GET FORKLIFT CERTIFIED TOO. Its a good fitness.
If you get forklift certified the dress code won’t matter because the ladies will be ripping your clothes off.
I work from home and I think it would be cool AF to be forklift certified. Or be one of those excavator prodigies…
Well I’m not in Kentucky but the company was Fastenal and they definitely have warehouses there. They’re a big international industrial supplier. I was only warehouse adjacent when I worked for them but I know the warehouse benefits and pay were pretty middle of the road in my location. They’ve got a whole internal education program which is actually surprisingly good. All in all it wasn’t a bad place to work.
If you want fitness then pick to light in one of their warehouses will definitely get you that. And they definitely do forklift training. Idk if I can link here but if you just google fastenal then they will pop up.
I work in IT, I make much more money than I should/need and I work from home in a pair of basketball shorts and a T-shirt while barefoot. I would just apply for everything, eventually you’re gonna hit someone who isn’t hung up on image, and the rest will make your interview skills just that much better.
If you make more than you need, you must have an impressive work history, yeah?
It’s ok; i have solid interview and writing skills, which is more important to most places I think. Mostly because I apply for a lot of things I’m not really qualified for or that pay too little just for the interviews.
This might just be because California made it law, but Walmart’s only dress code was that you had to wear jeans and their supplied vest. They couldn’t tell you how to have your hair, that you couldn’t have visible tats or piercings, etc.
Just make sure you’re actually on drugs if they drug test you.
haha nice…
OH YEAAA- 100% I could kick it at a smoke shop. Sounds fun as shit
I’m sorry to be the one to break it to you but every job becomes a job, if you know what I mean. I’m my own boss, work from home, doing programming which is my passion. I still love programming, but work is work. Not saying you shouldn’t try to find enjoyment in it, just don’t want you to expect it to be fun as shit no matter what the job description says. Just try to find one that doesn’t make you miserable and focus on that work life balance.
I do call center work from home and can wear whatever I want
awee- But I wanna work at a job that isnt just me in my house all day. I already bed rot enough as is 😭
Well… good luck with that 👍
Yikes. Getting a real strong “ I’m a character in an anime cartoon vibe “.
Not necessarily whatever you want because you have to follow DOT standards, but utility locating is a good one. The standard is steel toe and reflective vest. Other than that, you’re good unless the company mandates something the different. You can also get good money, experience, and networking in that field. Since you’re such a young person, and if you have a good personal drive, you’d greatly excel at it because it is a relatively physical job
Unless you’re working for yourself and not customer facing, good luck with that. Brands care about image, and bosses care about discipline and morale. ‘whatever you want’ may or may not reflect those values, may cause distress or even be a danger to others.
I fit in with my satanic shit as a software engineer. Computer people don’t care, they seem smart enough to know it doesn’t affect the job.
That fits in very will with the established norms. Stick with that and op will be fine. Go outside of that, and find out.

I work as a software developer and pretty much everywhere it’s an open door on any outfit you want. I’m a man and regularly wear skirts to the office and conferences without anyone batting an eye.

Ofc You can wear what you want as a software developer- At this point its required you wear pink stripped socks and a skirt/j I thought about it- but I suck real bad when it comes to coding things. I have a massive interest in computers, but coding is one of those things I lack in skill ;w;

There’s tons of jobs in IT that don’t require coding so don’t let that discourage you

If you’re interested in IT, aside from software development, you could look into server administration, networking and security operations. No coding, maybe some scripting here and there.

I had a programming job where the dress code was “Keep it covered and don’t smell.”
They had to add that last part.
