Well another day another time to criticize. I was told by HR wearing jeans was fine as long as they were clean and didn't have tears.
Now today I was told not to as it was not "professional"
Time to look for a new job
You've only been there a few days.
Allow them to train you without resentment, follow that training as you are paid to do, then you may find you enjoy the job. JMHO

I have been picked to pieces over the last week and a half. I'm at my breaking point.
HR can make blanket policies, but it is ALWAYS up to the department head. If the department head says no jeans, then it's no jeans.
I just don't want you to leave and think the grass is greener. It may not be.
Actually that's not true. A company needs to be consistent. If this boss has a problem with the dress code she needs to take it up on a corporate level, not make it an issue for one employee on a whim. I have no problem with a ruling either way but a lack of consistency is "unprofessional."
I think the word sure used that way is an Americanism--or maybe a North Americanism depending on whether Canadians use it similarly. Is the OP's boss not from North America? Or not a native English speaker? Otherwise I'm baffled by her reaction.
But then I also refuse to be offended by people saying "No problem" to me instead of "You're welcome".

Actually it is.
Where I work HR says jeans are fine but they are outlawed in certain departments per department head decision.
I responded to her letting me know she would be out of the office next week and she asked if I would work later on some days. I responded back "sure " and she said she doesn't like the word because its a word that says "I don't give a crap" ..
Uh what?
When at work, you use a professional manner of speaking. If you can't handle that, then look for a job bagging groceries or collecting the shopping carts. Employers expect people to be professional. You aren't a teenage at home speaking rudely to your mother.
