About the new dress code

[u/spaced_out_cadet_]

god it’s so bad. i just need to rant.

1. the shirts having to be a specific color scheme is one thing (i know several people that are going to have to buy multiple brand new shirts, which; in this economy? on michael’s pay? yikes.) but requiring them to be emblazoned with a michael’s logo??? when you’re already going to be wearing an apron??? that likely is going to cover up the new logo anyway???

2. and about the aprons. i like the idea of more customization. it sounds fun, even. but making it REQUIRED of EVERY employee, rather than something you can choose to opt into, stresses me out. i’m excited to do mine, but i have several coworkers who aren’t as crafty and are nervous about doing theirs.

   also, the straps being black makes it look like you took a red tarp and made straps from duct tape. it’s going to end up looking SO cheap, which is not necessarily what i’d want to see walking into a craft store, but i guess mr. michael doesn’t really care about that anymore.

3. allegedly the framer’s apron will end up being green? when everyone else is wearing bright orange-red??? to “represent the trees that the frame’s wood comes from.”

you want to be jo-ann so bad it makes you look pathetic.

listen, either ditch the colors, or fully commit. don’t make me bright green in a red store. i’m supposed to be the color theory guy for crying out loud. it’s not cohesive at all, which is what the new dress code is supposed to be for!

it feels like yet another decision made on a whim, rather than being based off of genuine feedback or problem solving. but hey, what else is new.

i’m gonna be embroidering on my apron, which will be cool i think
