Hair

Post by Postman_matt »

A bit of a strange question but if you don't ask you won't know.... Is there a policy on what colour your hair must be? In places I've worked before your hair needed to be a 'natural' colour but the colour I'm thinking of going is a pinkish colour

Just put on a clowns wig, as that's what you'll be working with most of the time.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Nothing matters anymore,the standards have dropped dramatically over the years. Most of us look a mess. When I started I wasn’t allowed trainers or shorts and had to wear a tie during the winter months.

AFAIK there is no specific policy on hair colour and there have been plenty of different colours sported in my office and nothing has ever been said. So if you fancy it go for it.

One of our managers has the most atrocious mullet, and theres a guy with a pink beard and a girl who always has Maureen Ponderosa-esque cat make up on.

I want a transfer.
I would fit in immediately.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
