    having to shave beard for work

    I have a goatee, and it makes me look great in my and alot of others opinions, apart form that, I just really like it generally speaking. Anyways I work at a country club and they say I need to shave it off. I dont want to obviously, but I dont really want to rock the boat because im fairly certain they would fire me after they realized I was not going to do it.

    What im wondering is, should I just go along and shave it, or refuse and quit if they say I have to and hint at what will happen if I dont>? I should mention, its just a 7 an hour job, not like a super serious job, but it is easy.

    Oh, you mean that kind of goatee when you like it because the tip of your chin is the only place on your lower face where hair is growing?
    Or, do you need to shave it clean every morning?
    Don't expect anything.

    yea that type, anyways I prolly will for sure end up shaving cuzz I dont really wana loose a job over it, but man it sucks that I have to conform like this on something I really dont think I should have to, damn societal standards..

    I mean honestly, WHO in the world does it hurt for me to have a goatee? Its unfair as I see it. Im being supressed at the workplace and nobody cares!!!!

    Post a pic of your face. If it's trim and clean I think it's absolutely silly of them to demand that you shave it off. However, if what you call a goatee amounts to peach fuzz or a pedophile beard, well, can't blame them.

    being that you don't really have a lot of work experience, did you expect anything more?

    Go to work with your 'goatee' and if they bug you again, tell them that you'll consider it if they are willing to pay you double, and if not, walk out on the spot.

    If you got a pair, that is. I would do that because it is easy for me to find work.

    Why do you think corporate America looks so homogenous? Do you think all men started out looking like such dorks? No! They were young once, too. They had to learn to conform if they wanted work, and you will, too.

    If you want to keep the facial hair, I would suggest you look to the entertainment industry for employment. Or bars.

    Sorry.
    Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?

    I hate shaving with a passion. I shave about every 2-3 days. I got away with doing that when I was working at a grocery store with crap pay. As soon as it started getting long enough for them to bitch I would shave...and the cycle would continue.
