GUY WANTS TO QUIT HIS JOB BECAUSE BOSS DON’T LET HIM DYE HIS HAIR PURPLE

Feel like quitting my Job over dresscode.

I 25m work at a restaurant as a second job. Was sent home yesterday for my hair being a dark purple (can only really tell in some lighting) (that was approved by management before i even did it) . But I was told I cant return to work till I change my hair to a natural color.

I really have never been dresscoded as an adult and honestly it feels demeaning.im at work everyday early, do my job, and do everything to the best of my ability. But my hair is slightly purple. I don’t even wanna work at the place anyways.

This is just a rant. I feel like not even going back.

Netizens’ comments

1. feel like people are missing the “was approved by management” part! did the same manager approve and then disapprove? or is this a case of managers not communicating with each other?
2. One of my direct reports has pink hair. I lover her pink hair and don’t care that it isn’t a “natural color”. Corporate feels otherwise, and she can not have pink hair at work. So she wears wigs. They have to be “natural color” as well. So she has the most outrageous wigs she wears to work. Think 1700s powdered wig looking wig… genie topknot… etc. I love them and her for it! Her hair color has nothing to do with her work ethic or ability… it’s just silly.
3. Restaurant jobs are a dozen now. You could probably walk next door and be hired on the spot. Employers don’t hold the cards like they used to.
4. The fact your hair color had to be approved by management is in itself a red flag. You deserve better.
5. I’m sorry your amazing individuality is causing idiots to be crappy towards you and affecting your money. There are too many openings in the restaurant industry right now to have to deal with a hostile work environment, I wish you the absolute best.
