I think this is appropriate here!

So, would you let your boss shave your head because that was the 'dress code'?

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

That is exactly what happens when one enlists in the U.S. military. Dress codes are a thing, and legitimate.

If that was the dress code when I signed up to the job then absolutely, that's what I signed up for. If they changed the dress code however then I will challenge that.
