Many companies like men to be clean shaven because it gives a more professional appearance. It is what it is.

But we both know a little scruff is sexy.

 

[burrheadd]

I still don’t understand the policy at all. Like it’s a natural thing , that most people prefer. It’s like saying you can’t wear your hat backwards. What does wearing your hat backwards have to do with anything relating to your job

If you gonna go go big

Get the neck tattoo to go with

I love the feel and smell of a freshly shaved face.

Professional appearance is subjective. I understand that companies can set the standards they want. But it doesn't mean the policy can't be changed. Others will argue that "real men shave", which just means that men shave because that's what men do. It's circular logic, thus not a valid argument.

If you look at historical pictures, you will see that there was definitely a period of time when shaving became more the norm. My theory is that during WWI, when chemical warfare started being used, soldiers were required to shave so they could get tight seals on their gas masks. With another major war every twenty years or so from that point on, the preference for clean-shaven men became cemented in the culture.

I used to work for another company that had been around since the 1850's. They required us to shave, but all of the pictures of employees from before 1900 showed men sporting beards.

alright, so up until the point where I was hired as a part-time supervisor I have never shaved my beard, but to get straight to the point , I got a doctors note. After getting my note I brought it to my gateway manager, and he tells me I would have to work the same position (part- time supervisor) at our local hub.

Or I can shave and continue working at my current position. Going through this little situation, I was just curious to know the no shave policy for management.

Not to mention I work in operations, and come in no contact with any customers.

Use that management money of yours to hire a good lawyer, then enjoy retirement.

@Brownslave688 you gotta be happy about Greitens getting indicted.

all seems pretty far fetched to me so not really

I’m assuming you live in Missouri since you’re in local 688? Id be happy that my anti union Governor was indicted, nothing far fetched about allegations either.

A long time ago, I was chatting with some bigwig about how UPS spread across the planet.
Somehow Spain came up, and he told me that UPS went in and bought trucking companies. Most of the management of these companies quit when they were told they'd have to shave off their beards now that they were part of UPS.
I guess in Spain, you looked unprofessional if you DIDN'T have a beard.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

The only safety gear that would require shaving is scba, and even then you only have to shave your neck. If you are not a designated responder, the scba issue doesn't apply.

incorrect

 

[JustAnotherNumber]

Oh great--another one afraid of work.

I just like to have a life outside UPS. I'd be down for 9-5 but UPS doesn't have 8 hour shifts, they have "8 hours" "work" shifts. So that's 8 hours work, 1 hour lunch, 30 min break and you're already at a 9.5 day, guaranteed 1.5 hrs overtime. "Here, take my money!... We don't have any money for that". And I'm sure we all know "8 hours" work rarely is 8 hours but more like 9, because minimum stop counts are just a myth as well as max because every day is "extenuating circumstances" that require max +5 to 10 stops, you know because that new guy they hired just quit because he's tired of busting his balls for 10.5 hrs a day with supervisors watching them on telematics raging about why that pickup/delivery is taking too long, because you know UPS is the only company that shipping/receiving department have to do business with.

Had to wonder. Since when was @Turdferguson the moral compass of BC?

I believe he has found God
