What is something you won’t do/change for a job?

[JustinTheGreat]

My friend and I were talking about this. He said he would never shave his beard for a job. He tried to get a job in a kitchen and they said he has to be clean shaven so he left.

me, I wouldn’t take my piercings out for a job. If you can’t have piercings here then the job just isn’t for me lol. I refuse. And I know you can get those clear nose rings so they aren’t visible but I’m not gonna go through the trouble of constantly changing the rings back and forth

Someone mentioned smoking weed and that’s another thing I 100% agree with. As long as I’m not smoking and high at work, I don’t see why it’s any of your business what I do in my free time at home. If people are allowed to come home and have a beer or a glass a wine after work then I should be allowed to smoke a joint. Fuck outta here with that drug test lol

My personality.

I am not one to talk a lot. So, if someone doesn’t talk to me, I am most likely not going to talk to them. It doesn’t mean I have beef with them. I just means I have nothing to say to them.

It has never been an issue at any job I worked at, and I have worked quite a bit.
Recently, though, I did have a manager that micromanaged. I didn’t like it at all. Which I guess was mutual, because she didn’t like that I hardly spoke. She didn’t like that she wasn’t sure what I was ever thinking. She wanted to force my thoughts out of me, as well as make me talk to my coworkers. She also practically forced me to come to the company party (I wasn’t going to go). 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Having personal standards and boundaries that you won't break is important but seriously, some people think they can bring their home-self to work and expect everything to be put on a plate for them. It's lazy and uncommitted, and life doesn't work that way. The world doesn't revolve around you, so sometimes you just have to suck it up and change or adapt a part of you to be able to fit in and excel.

When I left school I realized that you very quickly go from being the top of the pecking order to the very bottom. The real world doesn't give a sht for a self-entitled school kid so leave that part of you back in school. I had to change everything for my job which absolutely sucked for a year or two but I'm so much better off for it now and I'm so thankful that I made the change.

It doesn't work like that for me. If I need the money to pay bills, I take the job and put my heart and soul into it.. If they say, no beard, then it's no beard..

I've never turned a job down because of demands placed on me, because when I've needed money to live, the job has always been my priority..

I wouldn't follow the dress code
I wouldn't work in restricted hours
I wouldn't work in the office or hybrid

writing software is a kind of art but also a very brain draining occupation... so any restrictions put me in a very uncomfortable situation because I should be able to work when I feel it's the best time for it, not because my boss thinks I should do 9-5

[MK1997]

@IslaTheWitch you should learn to be a lady

[IslaTheWitch]

@MK1997 why? I'm good as I am right now :D

[MK1997]

I think you are very obnoxious as you are

[IslaTheWitch]

@MK1997 you have the right to have your opinion, and I have the right to have mine, we don't need to agree :D

[MK1997]

Sure just expressing mine

[IslaTheWitch]

@MK1997 enjoy

[JustinTheGreat]

@MK1997 you’re the one who replied to her and shared your unsolicited opinion. You’re the obnoxious one lol

[NathanDavis]

I've never had a problem taking off my piercings sometimes... but that's my choice

there's no job that has asked me to take them off though

[exitseven]

I won't change my attitude. I never was an ass kisser. I am sure that I would have gotten a lot further in my career if I was but I don't think it would be worth it.

[Surely]

If you feel that you need to make a statement. Then you apparently don’t need the money. So don’t be crying poor or broke!
Whenever there are safety or health concerns. The companies have every right to enforce their own policies.

My need for flexible hours. If you want me there at 7 AM every work day, forget it.

Occasionally is OK.

[Iron_Man]

I don’t like to work when the Miami Dolphins are playing. I’m gonna have to work hard to try to get off On Sundays when I find a job

[DrPepper12]

I cut my hair for a job once. Still regret that bullshit.

[turnpost]

Being outsourced to a foreign company or endangering others around me is my limit.

[dolemite58]

Shave my beard or quit smoking weed

[DishLady]

My fabulous disposition…. (JK!!!) My values.

[Jennz6]

[Missbeauty32]
