I think we can already tell which one you dislike more.
"Women bad, they're so emotional, unlike me"
Proceeds to emotionally tell everyone to calm the fuck down.
While being the only emotional one
DAMN YOU MOTHER
Imagine thinking it's okay for a corporation has the right to dictate how you look and treat your body.
If playfully poking fun at authority by demonstrating how the intended consequences of petty rules can be subverted creatively irks you, you're in the wrong community, hun.
Imagine getting this worked up over someone's hair color
Yeah, the only concern is whether the hair style could cause issues (notably a lot of hair can be an issue in some jobs), and even than you can manage most of the time.
But an office is not one of those places.
The fun part of this statement is I'm not sure if you're talking about the commenter or the employer.
Yes
Doing something to playfully point out the silliness of the policy…or she could sue. Seems like she did the less extra of those two options.
I have a friend who was upset he couldn’t wear shorts to the office while women could wear capri pants…he found women’s capri pants in his size and wore them. I guess he’s extra as well?
A rando on the internet doesn't like women, never seen that before
$20 says he's a white cis male that earns under $15 an hour and fights against a living wage.
"Ms. Extra" spends her own time and money entertaining people while thumbing her nose at those corporate slugs. I think people who make other people happy are probably not throwing a tantrum.
She’s Ms. Extra because she’s resisting bullying by an incompetent employer?
It’s not wholly unreasonable for a business to have some kind of appearance standard for front-of-house employees. But it is unreasonable to hire people for those positions literally sight unseen, and it’s a stupidly written policy if pink hair violates it while ridiculous wigs do not.
Besides, it’s 2023. Brightly colored hair is hardly an outrageous and rare sight to see. No one is going to stop frequenting a business because they were greeted by someone with pink hair.
Some will but you didn't want them there in the first place, any profit the company makes off their purchase was going to be negated into the red by taking up employee time with stupid requests and complaints.
Does anyone younger than a boomer even care about hair color? I'm 37 and while pink hair might stand out to me, that's only because of the rules written by those with sticks up their backsides, half a century ago. Ultimately, I don't give a damn.
shut up, Snowflake
Maybe people with opinions like this are the ones who need to calm the fuck down. Okay little Miss. CryBaby? I have a sneaking suspicion that this comment isn't the worst of your red flags either.
Go back to reddit.
🤦
If you went over to the /funny sub and complained about the person in the post being funny what kind of a response would you expect?
I asked what you would expect.
