At my current job, we were blazer jackets when it is not the summer, and during the summer - they come up with a "summer uniform". This summer, my uniform was the wrong size, so I asked them to order me a different size. They wouldn't re-order for me, and I have been wearing last summer's uniform (it changes each yr) and we had a corporate visit, and they said I can't wear last years uniform, have to wear this years, or the blazer.
My boss is saying that I have to wear the blazer now through the year, because the "summer is almost over anyway."
Mind you, I live in New York where it can get pretty damn hot in the summer. Today it is probably late 80's...and I have to wear this jacket to work starting at noon!!!
What do you think I should do about it?
Thanks for your help! I appreciate it!!

I feel that they are obligated to provide you with the correct size uniform. It is unfair of your boss to make you wear something uncomfortable. They should have been made to order the right size. I am not sure what you can do legally to get out of wearing a blazer in summer, other than a doctor's note stating that during summer the excess heat produced by wearing the blazer would compromise your health.

I'm pretty sure your employer is breaking some kind of law, act or legislation. Did you ask for a wrong size or did your emplyer just arbitrarily decide that you're that size? Talk to any lawyer friend of yours. If you don't have one, ask friends, somebody is bound to know a lawyer that can give a bit of advice.

Look for a new job, or offer to buy the summer uniform yourself.

I think I would skip a shower and deodorant for a few days and see if they get the hint.
I realize you probably wouldn't want to do that since your female. So I would suggest taking it as a hint and look for a better job.

they have to provide you with the correct size... otherwise, you have to find another job.
