I guess this really only applies to people with beards, but here is the situation. I work in marketing, mostly on the digital side of things such as email, websites, Google, Facebook, that sort of stuff. Nothing about my job is customer-facing. I was offered a job with a 30% raise. It has almost all the same benefits, the only stipulation is that they have a no facial hair rule. What would you do?
 
I don't care for wearing a beard anyway, I find itchy. Show me the money.
 
sure...but I look marvelous with my lumberjack beard.
 
No.
 
Have had a beard for 5 years now and was planning to maintain it for the rest of my life. 30% is right at the threshold I would consider shaving for. However, if you can get that at one place, I'm sure you can find the same salary somewhere without an absurd rule like that,
 
Yes, in a heartbeat
 
I would shave it. Congrats on your offer!
 
Where's the razor?
 
I don't wear a beard. Sure, I'll take the raise and stay looking clean.
 
Heck yeah!!! That would pay for both my kid's college without straining our budget at all. I would do that in a heartbeat.
 
As someone with a beard I don't see how being clean shaven makes you more professional. But yes I would shave for a new job.
 
Quickly and without hesitation. I don't have a full beard but do have some facial hair.
 
I would ask if I had to shave right then? Or if I could do it at home.
 
30% is a lot of money. As long as the move made sense from a career perspective and I just wasn't chasing the cash, I would do it in a hearbeat.
 
My thoughts are:. What other stupid ideals regarding appearance do they have ?

What other **** will they want to control.....

That's a tough one. I've had a beard since I separated from the US navy 7 years ago so would be tough to shave everyday again lol. How bad do you want to deal with people face to face? hahahaha
 
Take the money and grow a beard when you retire.
 
1998 I left the USAF. I grew a beard for 6 months. I shaved that off into a goatee. I've had that for the next 22 years. The last time I trimmed it short I turned into a richard until it grew out. My kids have never seen me without a goatee. My wife has never seen me without a goatee.

30% raise? I'll tell people I quit smoking and I'm irritable.:LOL: Show me the money.?
 
I've had my beard and mustache for over 30 years, but I think I'd take the money.
