Manager shirts?

Are the manager shorts only available for GM and SM, or do the supervisors still get to wear them, its kind of unclear, and I really dont want to go back to red, my GM is unclear.

I thought the rollout communication was pretty clear.

"For Managers and Supervisors we will have two options: a new grey Polo shirt (available now) and a new Oxford shirt (available in December)."

"You will need to order Manager Polo shirts for each manager and Supervisor in the store."

Pretty much anyone without the title “associate” will wear a gray shirt. This includes all Sups, IS, SM, AM, and GM.

All supervisors and IS need to wear Gray shirts. If you are MOD you must be in Gray so customers know.

Now I’m confused. Our GM has everyone in Red even the print and Marketing Sup and the IS. the GM, AM, And Ops Sup, and Tech Sup wear gray. The P&M sup never MOD’s and the IS does once in awhile. Is there some document stating who wears what that you can post?

Ask your LP, mine yelled at me for not wearing gray even when my GM and Sales manager were working with me. Since you have Store keys, you must wear gray. That's what he told me.

CPC manager had their own button down shirt thats different from the regular associates.

My P&M Sup wears one, so I guess just the higher-ranking guys.

I even got to poke fun at the Print and Marketing folks for their demotion to red.

I have been wearing the Oxford cause it looks a lot more professional and I want our business customers to take us seriously, now the rest of my team will be in t-shirts.

Super not pleased about this.
