Can you possibly find a new job real quick? That's boggus, dude! Good luck, my friend, I feel for ya'!
my advice would be to find another job
any place that can't apreciate YOU for who YOU are and demands you remove part of your body AND part of your identitly dosent deserve to have you woking for them
but that's just my Opinion
i wouldent cut my hair for ANYBODY, besides a suite and tie office job just isn't ME to begin with
Since you already work for them, Tell them that they hired you for your knowledge and skills and it has nothing to do with hair, then tell them that if you have to cut your hair to collar length, all the women that work there will need to do the same! If it all fails, sue them for discrimination and retire.
CJ,
I had butt length hair and was blackmailed into cutting it or be fired. I did because of bills, but now regret it big time. It has made me very angry and bitter. I have been growing it back, and only cut it the one time, and swore I would never do it again. It is back past my shoulders again, and I intend to keep growing it.
Just think really hard about wether or not you want to be blackmailed or threatened into giving up part of your identity or if money is more important than being true to ones self.
I am sure you can find a way to keep it and the job if you want to.
Did they mention anything about it at your interview?
What about company policy book?
If they hired you that way, I don't think they can grandfather in new rules.
I have been very loud and vocal about it were I work, and let everyone know what happened. Making it harder for them to try it again.I also try very hard to make myself a necesity, so that the company is less apt to complain.
Were you the CJ who was saying earlier that you were just going cut it off anyway and give it to Locks of Love?
Yeah, I know, I left, ah well, life of a lurker. No, that CJ posting above is not me (i.e. the one p[osting about LOL).... I only have shoulder-length, and I'm at university now...
As to the LOL thing, I've been pondering since the thread a while back and I've decided that yes, will donate it, but leave it about as long as it is now, and then let it continue to grow. What the hell. I like is long, anyway. I probably won't donate again after the initial, but I'll let it keep growing. Maybe not to terminal length (yeeps, that'd be a lot of shampoo/conditioner), but prolly below the shoulderblades.
Anywho, just wanted to clarify that no, that wasn't me with the job issues. I'll go back to lurking now. I tell ya, though, the more i ponder on it the more I realize that yes, my hair is a pretty big part of who I am now..... Boy, you guys gave me food for thought....
