Six Figure RVP says I cant wear JEANS to work.

Loosing my mind... I am a visual "manager," and as long as I remember dress code has allowed me to wear jeans and sneakers. Today my new SM pulled me into the office to talk to me about my appearance, as our SIX figure RVP questioned her about it. We are in the middle of floor moves, which we have to do with limited staffing, and I wore LEVIS jeans and NIKE shoes, and my RVP and SM do not approve. Are you kidding me??

Since when did the company start WORRYING how a $14 an hour employee, moving heavy fixtures full of dust, dresses?? I was told to never wear jeans unless they are black, and to not wear sneakers when we have a visit.

Belk, the company who sent us "private label" merchandise that they bought at wholesale from Aliexpress, with the tags still attached from other brands, is worried about what I am wearing to work... The company who is sending us merchandise with ross tags attached, and brands you only find at TJ MAXX is worried that I wore jeans, which "will prevent customers from knowing you work here."

Meanwhile, it is KNOWN that RVPS and majority of our upper management "leaders," are working from HOME. What a company we work for.

Tom is always at rock hill store! You can count on him being there! And feels like there are ten of them -you turn around- there’s Tom again!!!

At the rock hill store today we have alot of visual here and EVERYONE is in jeans .Tom is here also.

I may have misunderstood the comment, but as a visual "manager" the pay rate is $14?

Sometimes it seems they just target someone for the heck of it. Such pettiness when the company has such huge problems.

so, the dress code must be the same for everyone at every store. Managers, visual, janitorial, you name it. They cannot “pick and choose” what non customer facing role has a certain dress code. Ask them to see it in writing, and ask them if everyone who wears jeans and tennis shoes has been “talked to” about their appearance. especially if it’s a new store manager. Tell them Belk has a helluva lot of more serious issues than a visual with jeans on.

Our RVP makes nearly $200,000 and works in their pajamas from home.

I am the visual at our store and I wear jeans EVERY day! All our support staff does. My manager even wears jeans when we are doing floor moves. Most of the time I don't even wear my name badge to identify that I work there cause customers still ask "do you work here?"🤣
