I doubt he loses sleep over shaving How does having a beard make anyone less professional? If an employer doesnt want me to have my beard and discriminates against me for it i take the fucker to court. | ||

I can just imagine a company trying to impose that here lol. good stuff xD Most companies have dress/grooming codes all employees are expected to follow. Since all employees have contractually agreed to these codes, not following them is breach of contract and cause for termination. (The 911 company I worked for allowed dispatchers to have facial hair, however firefighters/medics could not have anything below the corners of the mouth - mustache only - and it had to be trimmed (nothing longer than ~7-8mm iirc). Wolf just said he doesn't actually want to have a beard so it's just a matter of being clean shaved (and that seldom looks professional imo). | ||

There is no some people about it. Some things are cultural and discriminating against that is just thiny veiled bigotry. There are many many examples of beards that are in no way unprofessional threfore beards in themselves are not unprofessional. | ||

Well ok. that stuff just doesnt exist in the UK, unless you are in the army. Even firefighters are allowed to have a beard up to a certain length. Regarding working in an office, retail etc there is no such thing. | ||

Its like time keeping, identify that the company thinks both statements should be true 1) work 37.5 hours a week 2) working 9-5:30 and you have found a company that doesn't give a shit about its employees. | ||

I know many people with beards that don't look homeless... By that logic they shouldn't have hired Khaldor because some people might think he's a neo-nazi due to his shaved head. | ||

Great, so you acknowledge the fact that "being professional" is highly relative, so why should you abide arbitrary rules that make you more "professional". Why should we abide arbitrary behaviorial rules anyways. | ||

If an employer doesnt want me to have my beard and discriminates against me for it i take the fucker to court. The point of the matter is you still have to groom it. I have to shave everyday or else I'll have a beard before you know it. Nothing wrong with having one (most women I know cannot stand it). If I go down that road I constantly have to do maintenance to it for hygienic and work purposes especially in Wolf's case. It applies to everything. Not too long ago a guy wrote a blog about his job in security job on this very website. He wanted to live a minimalist life and decided he wanted to see how long he could grow out his beard. His employer took notice and told him they would terminate him unless he trimmed it.

It's also worth noting that Wolf does have a job that entails face time on a camera, right? So that probably factors into it more than if your job was to like work at a computer or something. | ||
