I can’t tell you the number of people we have turned down with tattoos. Same with men with earrings. Course we never say that but everyone knows what the standards are. Also, and I have to say I don’t agree with this one - we don’t hire if you are “visibly” overweight. The bummer is I have interviewed numerous excellent technicians but they don’t stand a chance of getting a job and we keep looking....
So you have turned away excellent technicians because you don’t like the way they look.
Wow, how absolutely short sighted of your company.
I’ve passed by technically adept people who are obese. A little overweight - no big deal. But 300+ pounds says you’re likely to have some expensive health issues combined with lost time and productivity.
Bottom line - doesn’t matter if you’re a genius; I need you on the job to be effective.
Yeah. Tell me about it...
