Dread locks at Intergrad

[UPS_88]

That is discrimination.
The lawsuit would be a slam dunk

Would it?

Companies have the right to set appearance standards.

I wouldn’t even do all that. If they told me to cut them I would easily cut them. I’ve been asking around my HUB for a cpl years now and they said I was cool. So I was jus basically getting diffident views from other areas

If you wait until you go there to ask it will be too late.

Let me put it this way, if you have or are asked to sign and appearance standard before driving, you will certainly have to lose the dreads.

If not, you might get lucky.

Are we really this desperate?

I wouldn’t use the word desperate but switching to driving would benefit me taking care of my family in the long run

Prohibiting Dreads wouldn't fall under any acceptable standard.
I would argue it is a hair style of cultural significance.

How about a neck tattoo then

One of our preloaders got promoted to FT. Only place he DOESN’T have tattoos is on his face (I can definitely see it happening, though). Hands, neck, arms, legs, everywhere. They never ask him to cover up.

I guess that’s what it’s come to

it's all about you dude, keep the dread locks

why are you even worried about how desperate "we" may be?

Really?

 

[TheMachine]

Any longer hair styles shall not come over the ear and must be able to be tied up and hidden under a UPS “approved” hat.

Based off memory of my training I would absolutely follow appearance guidelines because it was strict. UPS is huge on appearance, just the way it is.

Their attitude is, if you don’t like it, leave.

Modern times, Dave.

Not like when you were hired, and especially not when I was hired.

TBH, you are lucky you are in the BOG. I don't really think you would have survived in my old building.

How strict are they on hair at Intergrad.

Here's the new UPS uniform. Hair can now be past shoulder length.

Never would survive in MN.

They said the same thing about tatts back in like 08 when I 1st started now I see drivers tatted all over their bodies

 

[TheMachine]

The key thing here is your going to Intergrad and training, where appearance standards will be strictly enforced because their job is to prepare you.

Once you get through that and back to your center it gets more lax to a degree.
