Running to the defense of Tom Brady doesn’t count.

We don’t have to read your post in detail to know you are an awful human being. Your first line made that clear.

Nah, the only thing childish here is your continued tantrum over being called out on your stupidity and misgyny. But don’t worry, you’ll never have to cosplay to look like a childish idiot. You play one in real life.

Dress codes are common. So are black people apparently violating them because their hair or how they manage their hair does not conform to those standards, of which the standard is very white.

1) The initial rules specified nothing about headwear, aside from being professional. Look at that outfit at the top. Is it not professional? THAT is what her boss had issue with.

How much attention were you paying when you supposedly read the article? There’s a photo of the “offending” outfit right up top. What exactly is unprofessional about that ensemble? I have seen major political figures wear similar things on the TV. I have seen FBI agents wear that to work. College presidents wear that…

Vidikron7, or shall we just call you “Dik” for short? You are obviously one of the corporate cog, all-conforming hacks who can somehow defend every management idiocy despite having your nose permanently lodged in their posterior. Just live a little, loosen up that collar and get rid of the pocket protector, and join…

Her reaction to the situation is awesome. You are childish.

Fuck off. Sorry, that was just easier.

I did read it. You called her an idiot when she did nothing wrong.

No one’s looking for offense. You clearly misunderstood the situation and continue to double down on it by going on about how she’s violating a dress code (which she is not). You’re completely missing the fact that she was effectively being punished for not wearing her black girl hair like a white girl. “Professional”…

If you don’t see an issue with

I read and re-read your comment, and this is what I got out of it.

Except that that only applies if the action someone takes ISN’T reasonable. If she had come in with a mohawk, or even something like... I don’t know, dreads maybe, I could understand the issue (I’d disagree with it in terms of dreads because I’ve seen lots of people make them look very neat and tidy, but...). But she…

Retaliation against an employee grievance based on discriminatory dress code policy is okay in your book? It is actually illegal and violates Title VII....you say she was an idiot...her employers are the clear idiots who did not consult a employment attorney before changing the policy.

There’s a difference between “expectations not laid out” and “boss enforcing unrealistic standards that have nothing to do with professionalism.”

In case you were unaware, this is a case of the latter. There is nowhere except in this boss’s manic head where ponytails and cultural head-scarves are “unprofessional.”

so explain to me what was unprofessional about the original outfit?

It would be widely acceptable at 99.9 percent of non-racist workplaces.

So even though the outfit was within dress codes, you’re siding with the managers to change their mind on what the dress code is on a whim? Because that’s what re-reading, and re-reading, and re-reading your comment gets me. That you think the rules changing whenever the manager pleases is good managerial practices.

One more person who needs to read the full article and note that the dress code was changed after she was hired.

Did you read the article? They changed the dress code after the fact. I mean, brush up on the reading comprehension a bit if you want to call someone an idiot.
