How much money is enough to torture yourself like this? I would personally starve or something to death before doing this.
Why do women take and keep these jobs? Men destroy their bodies at construction sites.

>First week at a brand new property and the high heeled pumps they are making us wear are incredibly impractical, what can be done?

>Basically what the title says; we are a week in and we all have sores, cuts, blisters and missing toenails from the shoes we are being told we HAVE to wear. Two of us came in today wearing alternatives and were told if we wear them again we will be sent home. Outrageous price aside, my feet will not survive being in them 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. What can we do?

Goddamn it's nice to have a few million $ just lying around. I would have 1 conversation with the manager about how the shoes are not feasible to wear, listen to the response, and then quit within 10 minutes if they ignored me.

>What if you didn't have any money lying around
The only reason I bother to entertain this view anymore is because I have a son now who presumably won't have millions just lying around when he's 18, so I have to give a shit about the current dating market, job market, etc. even though I would totally financially support him getting on his feet for as long as he needed.
Most people have some kind of support net. Something. It's very rare that people have literally no family, no close friends, no skills at all, etc.

But fine, under those parameters I would look online for any sort of hack to make the shoes bearable. Like something you can stick in them that might exist to make them work. Otherwise I would choose being homeless over permanently destroying my feet.

>> No.57607230

The laws may vary in your state, but generally, in the worst Leftist hellhole like Commiefornia, where I live, employers can only mandate any kind of professional looking shoe. They can disallow flip-flops, which I disagree with, personally. However, I'm not a Leftist slob from Reddit, so I'm happy to wear leather shoes when I do work in the office.

The laws should be such that any workplace that knowingly caused this would be fined into oblivion and every person in an adjacent managerial position puished personally. The laws should incentivice uniions with tax deductible dues and making union busting illegal such that it wouldn't hapen in the first place.The people should'nt stop pining for entering the owning class, it shouild pine for a morally accountable owning class to hope to enter, not for their turn to screw somebody else over.

>> No.57608123

>>57607947
Why don't might make right? Why shouldn't the powerful do whatever they can and the weak suffer what they must? Absent collective action (laws) the powerful few are systematically incentivized to abuse their power. They aren't entiteled because the world can be better. Also to anticipate a response, the employers bering systematically incentivized invalidates the possibility for the employee to simply change job because the next employer will also boost their sales by forcing women to wear torture devices or they'll be competed out of business. This can be solved by collectively deciding torture device clothing is forbidden.

>> No.57608197

>>57608123
Because some people have a preference for things like lying being immoral instead of anyone doing anything.

Laws can be abused too. If a law forbidding uncomfortable shoes is enacted then employees can falsely claim that there feet were injured at work and sue.

Not everyone has the same definition of a better world .

That's the free market. If customers like heels then heels will be common. Waitresses can bargain for how much they think they should be paid to wear them.
If people don't want to pay extra for heels then lots of restaurants where heels aren't mandated will exist where people can work and eat at instead

I've never understood why women wear these types of pointy shoes. It's not attractive at all and I say this as a foot fetish guy. They're ugly. Berks are ugly too fyi. Also those pointy shoes make women's feet pointy and ugly. For reference look at Kourtney Kardashians feet now vs 15 years ago.

I think you are cruel and have an a priori bias in favour of "the free market". I don't think shoes that fill with blood are merely unciomfortable clothing but perhaps you thought torture device was hyperbolic. To clarify, I think people are in general ok with having uncomfortable clothing for fair compensation and that people who bleed from their feet don't have another choise.

>Not everyone has the same definition of a better world .
Obviously true. I hope your definition don't win.

Also
>employees can falsely claim that there feet were injured at work and sue.
A healthy judiciary has cheaper labour related courts to deal with this fairly. I don't think workers should get away with lying against their employers.

I think the blood example is extreme and unrealistic. If employees can be mandated to wear masks then heels are fine too
Their alternative choice is to quit, get a new job or be self employed.

It's always going to be slanted in favor of the employees. You can't expect an employer to prove they didn't cause any injuries

If you're thinking of suing your employer over a uniform then quit right then and their and take it off. You're not entitled to a free job at someone else's workplace wearing whatever you want and you're not entitled to choose to keep working there and then sue them and take their money

Here is the news: women LOVE to be in pain, and suffering for some “cause” no matter what. They actually LOVE this, because then they can go and complain.
They can easily come in with a doctor note and prevent this, but Nooooo they keep wearing it, bite their tongue through the pain, because the drama talk they gain from it is all sweeter

She should change her life circumstances so she either lives with others to share rent or moves somewhere with a far cheaper rent, even if that means moving teaching English abroad in Asia (I did this for a few years after I was unemployed for a few months and desperate. Plenty of places will cover your airfare and moving expenses).

You're asking me to believe that this person has no family to stay with, no friends to stay with, no way of obtaining a roommate of any kind, cannot get a job in a cheaper area, and absolutely must live where she currently is.
I don't believe it. Something's gotta give in this situation.
