UPS was firing

 

[Ghetto Denizen]

Lmao, I remember I had a job interview for UPS corporate and they told me I could only be clean shaven or have a mustache, no goatee or a beard, I was like . shyt blew my mind that this was for corporate, cubicle life as well and not just for drivers.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

That’s a damn shame it took this long

 

[Marc Spector]

I worked at UPS for years and yep no beards even for warehouse managers.

Believe it or not, in their Air District (the division of the company responsible for pkg delivery by air) the mgmt were required to wear dress shirt and ties all the way until like 2004 and they worked in buildings with conveyor belts

It’s hard to beleive that they are based in Atlanta with a policy like that. I doubt they could enforced it

 

[Mowgli]

We dragging cacs into the 21st century.

Come on now bwa this won't hurt none.

 

[Vandelay]

this was a policy as UPS of all places ?!

It was a policy for management or truck drivers. Not warehouse workers.

Most companies based in the south are on that. Atlanta is just commercial capital of the south, it’s no reflection at all of the cities progressive views itself

Wtf. A ban on afros is explicitly racist.

 

[Paper Boi]

racist dress codes and hair policies need to end across the board everywhere.

crazy they still in the books.

especially when cacs i work with get away without even washing their long greasy hair ever with the nasty ass dandruff i see..... shyt i can tell at least half of them don't even shower before work.

I had dreads when I worked there, but I was a package handler

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

They had a ban on Beards and black hairstyles

Must have been just for drivers
Cause the week I worked for UPS as a loader during a summer in college before I was fired for "allegedly" stealing
Which they could not prove

I had a beard

 

[ORDER_66]
