I've worked in ad agencies, retail, schools, and libraries (and many more). In every instance, while I could certainly express myself, I did have to tone it down quite a few notches. I paired a mowhawk and lilac hair with dress slack and office-appropriate blouses. I save my dress-up for the weekends/evenings/nights out :)Lydianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007958932895573564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374940737527468599.post-12370817046938014822014-01-31T03:53:11.123-08:002014-01-31T03:53:11.123-08:00Aww, your current manager sounds sweet :) I´ve act...Aww, your current manager sounds sweet :) I´ve actually never had any problems, not even in Israel, back when I worked at a call center. At first I´ve toned down myself a bit, but shorty I began bombing with outfits which intimidated the coworkers only, not the managers at all. My own manager back then used to joke on me for my crazy outfits, but in a kind manor, not in a mocking way at all :) There were other coworkers at the same call center who dressed worse than sluts, so yeah..Maria Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17472843818105697984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374940737527468599.post-19229064662789742832014-01-31T03:14:01.996-08:002014-01-31T03:14:01.996-08:00A friend of mine that works in a major company is ...A friend of mine that works in a major company is constantly being called to the human resources because either her hair color - even red is not acceptable - or her work attire - you can't wear other clothing besides a suit. It's ridiculous! She's incredible smart, a hardworker and they give her this bullshit... People are simply stupid - they will probably because of her individuality but the dumb blonde (sorry for the stereotype).<br /><br />Sorry for the rant. But this really get's in my nerves!<br /><br />xoxo<br />Dani <br /><a href="http://astrangenessinme.blogspot.pt" rel="nofollow">A Strangeness in me</a> BlogDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18422449154067094107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374940737527468599.post-41840213733574958852014-01-31T02:22:22.175-08:002014-01-31T02:22:22.175-08:00Haha, it always makes me laugh when people post ab...Haha, it always makes me laugh when people post about the goth work wear dilemma and how toned down you should go, because my jobs and future employment are bound by strict dress codes which are actually there for a reason (uniforms for care home nursing, infection control policies for medical students). That said, it is an important issue to decide where you stand on. Fiona C. https://www.blogger.com/profile/05182195892673926740noreply@blogger.com
