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.
Shiiiiit, those managers should be bowing at your feet every day for you allowing them to be in your forklift certified presence.
Now I want booty shorts that just say “forklift certified”.
Edit: Well… I guess these are kinda close.
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 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 👍

Dude- this is my second post here on Lemmy. I asked for people to be nice and I suppose you didn’t bother to read that. I’m not a fucking “anime character” I’m autistic as shit. I find comfort- as a black girl- in being able to express my love for Kawaii fashion. I want a job that will allow me to express these values as they mean a lot to me AGAIN- as a black person. If thats a problem with you then please just move on to a different post. At the very least just ask me some questions first before going off and judging me like that.
Ah, found that comment. Again, sorry for the comment above 😔
Yea- Im not entirely sure what their deal is. I guess because I use text emojis they assume me to be some kinda Main-Character Manic anime girl. I’m not even in any anime subs to begin with- Bleagh. I’m sure comments like his arent gonna be common here(I hope)
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?
I have a spouse with medical issues. This is the reason money is tight for me. Single income with additional expenses. If I was single I would be in databender’s position. IT has payed well for me and I would be screwed without it,
My work history is 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.
There are lot of federal jobs that are very lenient on dress. Not public facing? Sometimes lot of options! Public facing? Might have to wear a uniform but the ability to have visible tattoos and piercings is pretty high. Also options for getting into the public sector without a college degree.
i work custodial in a public school district, and basically the dress code is “no sweats, no holes in jeans, no spaghetti straps.” i dye my super gay hair, have visible tattoos, and a facial piercing. i have had 0 comments on any of it except compliments.
also the pay and benefits are pretty great for entry level jobs
Not necessarily whatever you want because you have to follow DOT standards, but utility locating is a good one. The standard is steel toe, reflective vest, and in some cases, a hard hat. Other than that, you’re good unless the company mandates something 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.
