He probably throws money at strangers on the street and then complains that he’s been mugged.

How does my pointing out that when there is a company policy in place it is not “wrong” to follow that policy make me a “just following orders” type? And what does what “type” I might be have to do with the fact that an employee ignoring / disobeying company policy is wrong rather than right? Do you think calling me…

He doxxed himself. He put his own personally-identifying information on his kinja account: his real name, “business” name, link to his tumblr account (listing his name) which links to his “business” site (listing his name and where he lives)... all while having a fully public facebook profile providing names and…

Employers are allowed to establish their own dress codes (with regard to professional or job-based appearance), which are a different thing from safety codes.

Professional (or job-appropriate) appearance is subjective, and employers are allowed to establish their own guidelines and requirements in that regard. Dreadlocks are not an immutable characteristic of any person.

“Hair is an immutable characteristic.”

“tl/dr, white guy with world’s most disgusting dreadlocks can work as an engineer.”

Health code and safety code are not the same thing as dress code. The businesses you mention are still permitted to set their own standards of ‘professional appearance’.
