[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 472822, member: 12570"] The article did not specifically state what job he was applying for but I would have to assume it was a driver position due to the customer contact. When I was hired I was on terminal leave from the Air Force and had 2 weeks growth and was told that it had to be gone or not to bother showing up the following morning. I figured $70K plus was more important than some facial hair (although every vacation I grow my "vacation beard") and showed up clean shaven. However, there is nothing in my religion (Catholic) which deals with facial hair, so it is not my place to judge this man based upon his religious convictions; however, I also believe that a corporation has the right to set grooming standards and potential employees must adhere to these or they should seek employment elsewhere. It sounds like the $10K was simply "shut the hell up and go away" money. [/QUOTE]
