Tomm Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 If it's a proper beard then I would argue your case. If it's a shit bumfluff scruffy thing then they're right, you should sort it out. As much for your own sake as theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Do you have BO aswell? There's a some old guy at my work, who has stubble and bad BO, they're trying to get rid of him because to be honest he's totally rank to work with. Clean yourself up an then they haven't got a leg to stand on, easy really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Surely you have to do whatever your contractually abliged to do. If in your contract it doesnt mention 'must be clean shaven at all times' then you have grounds to argue your warning, but if it does then they have every right. I got a warning when I worked at Waitrose becuase my hair was too spiky, my 'area manager' told me to go flatten it down (this was on my birthday mind), so I went upstairs and handed in my notice! God I love my new job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 I'll bet they'll have something saying you 'must be smartly presented at all times' or similar. Which is of course entirely subjective. Obviously I don't know you synergy, but most young people with stubble look stupid, so I'm not surprised your boss wants you to change it.

The Stig Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 If you read your contract it states that a beard may be grown if trimmed and agreed by your manager. you could argue it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 If you read your contract it states that a beard may be grown if trimmed and agreed by your manager. you could argue it!! so the manager has to trim the beard? I kid. Obviously he doesn't agree with it, so there is no argument. Just a warning if you don't do as he says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Man, sucks to work there.I've never worn anything but skate shoes to work, the worst i get if i dont get a chance to shave for a few days in the depudy manager telling me i look a tit and laughing at me.Today sucked at work, what with our tills crashing multiple times, collections and reservations not working all day and not being able to take cards most of the day! Gotta love evolve, why did they ever decide to use windows.Woo.. just got a second job working for my college though, helping out the automotive students with there practical work. 8.50 an hour! bit better than halfords. Still staying at halfords for the holidays though, and just the fact its a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
