Godsmack Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 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. If you work with cable, machinery, or other things they could possibly get caught on your ring or cause an electrical hazard they may have you not wear it. In the military if we are working on electrical, or with machinery we are not supposed to wear our wedding bands or other rings. "No poor dumb bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

creyc Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 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 The question isn't whether or not your physically CAN comply with such frivolous rules as no beards, no piercings, no jewelry, it's why would you WANT to comply to that? Is individualism so bad that anyone who steps out of line is doomed to never make it in the corporate world? This may have been the OLD way of doing things but I don't think this is a trend that will survive too much longer. Society is growing very rightfully tolerant of people who don't all look identical to each other, I don't think that's a bad thing at all. 2001 Chevy Blazer (2) SAZ-3000Ds (2) custom 18" Madmax subs in a second row wall Rockford 600-4 Pioneer PRS components Pioneer P800PRS deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwright27 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 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 my uncle had that happen. except the ring didnt pinch it off. the ring was pinched on it and to get the ring off they had to cut his finger off. hes got a nice scar from that and doesnt wear it on the job anymore.

jack Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 if you want to be indivisual start your own busnes if you are out looking for work you obviously need to comply with society and the rules set forth (means to an end) as for jewerlry, years ago i had a chain and watches to work, until i would regularly get snaged in a dash opening trying to stuff wires etc, as for the ring havent wore it to work since it shorted out on a 12 volt system and as i quickly removed the white-hot object from my finger, i half degloved the skin up to the knuckle, ive got a wedding ring scar now http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=29213 "sleeper build" (1) DC AUDIO Level4XL 10 (2) PowermasterD2700 batteries ALL FOR SALE TEAM DC AUDIO TEAM DIRTFLOORPOOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creyc Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Actually I usually see the opposite. People with nothing often assume all their problems will go away with a little bit of money. I've been fortunate enough to be on both sides of that fence, and the grass always seems greener from below. It's really just an optical illusion You don't need money to be happy.
