Gonna add one more vote for "none of his damn business what coat you wear off the clock." Take it up with HIS boss, if nothing else."That's too bad. Hospitals aren't fun to fight through."
"What IS fun to fight through?"
"Gardens. Electronics shops. Antique stores, but only if they're classy."

I always thought that the first thing you wanted to do when off the clock was hide it? And that coat certainly should hide the largest portion of it. There shouldn't be any reason for it to cause problems, unless he wants to have to pay you as SCs demand you help them with security issues.. when you're already off the clock.If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

I work in security too and my boss is the same way. If we're on the clients' property we're not allowed to wear our own coats. My boss's reasoning is that if we run into one of the clients' employees then they won't know if we're on or off the clock, being in proper uniform is also one of his big pet peeves.
But our company provides a coat that I think is fairly nice. It's waterproof and has a removable liner so it can either be used as a thick winter jacket, or a more lightweight one. We also have company provided stocking hats and baseball hats. Our regular uniforms are just button up shirts with the company logo on the sleeve, and we can either wear short or long sleeves, and we can wear a shirt under it provided it's either white, gray or black, so in our case I don't think our boss is being unreasonable about it.

Quoth boringscreenname View PostBut our company provides a coat that ....being unreasonable about it.
If Lill's company provided proper attire to go with their policy it would (mostly) offset the inconvenience of being identifiable as a security employee off the clock. To me it's like a construction job not allowing steel-toed boots. It's just plain unreasonable.
