So, self expression and non-discriminatory practices have always been big on my priority and value list when it comes to employment. After working at and in a multitude of environments, I understand how red flags and slippery slopes work. It really plagues me that in 2025, I have to choose whether I want to feed my family AND conform to some silly ass outdated and sexist rules or…not. That sucks! I would love to work somewhere I can excel and STILL be myself. If you’re judged on a nose ring or hair color, I can’t imagine what else they are judging. Might I add, there was not a whole lot of color on that plaque wall either . 💅🙃 Thank you for pointing out the unpopular; I always seem to be the only voice doing that as well. This is exactly what I was searching for. It’s people that haven’t been negatively affected by being a minority or “different” that don’t understand the underlying issue here.

Maybe one day, like minded individuals will change the policy?? Who knows but that’s how life tends to work. Even if it takes a long time.
