Blog#3_Dress Code in BNY

Before starting a position I went through training, orientations, and one on one meetings. Within all of these prepping processes that I did with Tk and Edwin. I know that we have a lot of freedom in our job. We can have flexible schedules and a wide dressing code. In the dressing code, tank tops, flip flops, or pajamas aren’t allowed. “And of course, no one would wear flip flops or tank tops during winter, LOL !” said Edwin. Edwin was the program manager who loves to joke around, stay positive and he’s a problem solver. I have emailed him and texted him every time I have a problem. Problems such as scheduling, setting up emails, documents, and ID, he helped me with everything. Moreover, he always has positive feedback and he replies to emails very very fast. 

 

Even though I’m working hybrid, I have never been to the office yet. It’s because due to covid the yard was being half-closed. I will be in the office in the middle of March, then I will know how’s the office looks like; Is it an open work area; What is next to the yard; How’s the food inside the yard…etc. 

 

I’m currently working on a flexible schedule. I mix my schedule with class and work together. So I work for the Brooklyn Navy for around 4 hours every weekday. (Maybe 5 or 6 hours sometimes.) However, the time is different every day. Maybe I work during the morning on Monday, then I might work in the afternoon on Thursday. My supervisor Tk gives me a lot of freedom. She doesn’t care a lot about the schedule. Since she believes in me that I could work individually without supervision. Eventually, we send her an update of what we did, what problem we have or faced…etc. If I have a problem, I will send her a text or an email. So I would say that we have good communication going on.
