Re: Tesco man employee wears skirts at work
I’d love to wear a skirt to however my new job IS NOT skirt friendly!
I’m driving a drawbar lorry carrying bricks and blocks to builders merchants and building sites and I have to climb a ladder at the back to operate said crane...

Re: Tesco man employee wears skirts at work
I wear a skirt - but I am almost always desk based - although I do site visits monthly. But I am not a hands-on worker in the true sense.
that said - I have driven a forklift at work unloading trucks from time to time in a skirt.

Re: Tesco man employee wears skirts at work
I've loaded planks on the roof of my van at a large and busy timber yard in the Radstock area whilst wearing a skirt. I hadn't brought a stepladder so I parked the van next to the timber racks and climbed up the racks to get onto the roof. Nobody seemed bothered.Tackleberry wrote: ↑Sat Mar 13, 2021 9:59 pm I’d love to wear a skirt to however my new job IS NOT skirt friendly!

I was a customer, it might be different if I were an employee.
There is no such thing as a normal person, only someone you don't know very well yet.

Re: Tesco man employee wears skirts at work
As an employee its not so much my skirt that can cause trouble - its my high heels - my skirt doesn't get brought up from health and safety perspective. I'd debate the heels cause most things are do-able in heels but I'd never win that debate anyway. Ironically - mostly debating with men who don't wear high heels anyway so have no idea what they're talking about! Ha.
Skirts and H&S or OSH shouldn't be an issue in my mind - etiquette perspective would be more challenging on a skirt than H&S.

I would agree with you on that point, most men have no idea what it is like to wear anything but the drab.
Here is a link to research published in the British Medical Journal re. High Heels.

The subjects were women, I guess they couldn't find enough experienced men.
Suffer for one's art may be appropriate or is it no pain, no gain?
