No Beards @ Wyotech?

[loganberry]

hey to each there own, im just laying it flat out, its not a one sided thing....how many lawyers and stuff (reputable) ones that have a beard and stuff....its not a personal thing against you its just how it is

[kingsuv]

I've had plenty of jobs where I couldn't have a beard. It wasn't because it was a performance issue, it's because it only takes one person to roll in here and there looking a little fuzzy cause he didn't fell like cleaning up that day to create issues for the rest. So instead of policing everyone they say no to all.

many companies push the enevlope a tad to far. By saying no wedding rings, no facial hair. As long as its kept clean., and you dont have some 5 inch long goatee like me, or a handle bar mustache it really shouldnt matter.

If I cant have a damn short mustsache or side burns, or hair past my ears, earings. I wanna see that bitch at mcdonalds cooking my food with her hair down to her ass wearing a hair net and not some hat, and yet that is fine in the food service.

When people got big spike pierings comming out their lips, or a big loop thru their nose, yea I agree with their rules then.

Of coarse you want to look presantable for the interview, but some of the things employers do are illegal, but you end up with your word against theirs, and they have better lawyers..

But seems like theres a lot of companies out there that are just power hungry. Im sure everyone worked for that one place or boss that was just down right rude and whatt not.

Ive managed a motel a few years ago, with a decent restaurand and steak house. 1 owner owned it all, there was a Jew that worked there that got royally bitched out one day for wearing his little cap (yamaka thingy) on his head, he worked there for about a year as a server, and never once had a issue, then the owner just chewed him a new one for wearing it.

That was my last day at work because I could not work for a employeer such as himself.

If you can't comply with a simple rule like no beards, piercings, jewelry in a corporate setting then you will never make it in the job anyway

[RamenNoodles]

I dont really have experience with the corporate world, but do many places not let you wear wedding bands? Ive never heard of that before.

[kingsuv]

Plenty of hands on jobs will not allow you to have rings. I worked for a freight company and it was not allowed for pinch reasons. Nothing like getting a finger pinched off from a ring

I had an interview a whiole back, and the guy told me no bears or mustaches, no visible piercings, no jewlery (including wedding rings) and no hair below the bottom of your ears...all for minimum wage...lol, I was like "well thnx but no thnx"

haha fuck that! I would have at least ended the interview with a few colorful opinions on their policy since you're not taking the job anyways.

Individualism is a pretty big deal to me, so I'm not particularly fond of places that judge you solely on how you look. We're getting there though, slowly.

As for Wyotech, I'd tell them not to expect a check anytime soon if I were you...

[RamenNoodles]

I thought that you meant it was to be more professional. I didnt know you meant for safety reasons. I assumed these companies didnt want the bands on there because of the look.

Id take it off it meant keeping my finger lol.
