[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does the support work involve getting on the floor and connecting cables or something that would require jeans instead of a suit? Or is it sitting at a computer and doing different work than usual?

If you are just at your desk, I would wear normal office attire from 8-5. If you come in at night or on weekends, then wear jeans.

If the support work has a task that needs to be completed during a regular meeting, email your boss and ask which has priority.

Since you are being paid extra for the support work, it seems like you would still be expected to do your 8-5, 40 hrs/week tasks. If you are doing the extra work from 1-3pm, when are you making up those 2 hours of your regular assignment? [/quote]
It’s nice and all that that’s what YOU would do. But employers can’t make exceptions to make situations more attractive to their employees, and then backpedal without warning. [/quote]

Chill out, OP. Some coworker said something stupid and you’re spiraling. Nobody changed the rules. Whoever complained about your jeans probably didn’t even know what the rules during support overtime are. Then your boss shared the comment. So nothing really changed unless your boss was like, how dare you wear jeans. Unless he told you not to dress like that anymore, you don’t really have a problem here now do you?[/quote]
Not OP but are you slow? Of course the rules changed: the OP clearly says that casual attire was one of the benefits of working this support overtime. If the issue is that the complainer didn’t know, then why wasn’t he informed? Why, instead, was the OP reprimanded for falling within the rules? [/quote]

Uh…maybe because the complainer never works overtime so they never bothered to familiarize themselves with the guidelines.

Good lord, use some critical thinking skills. [/quote]
THEN THE BOSS SHOULD HAVE FAMILIARIZED THEM AND LEFT THE OP ALONE

You are the only one who isn’t following this. [/quote]
