No Stubble at work.

You have been told during a training session and still choose to ignore the advice, not sure what you want GD to do ?

Maybe you need to find a new role which allows you to do as you please

They tell us they will make us buy razors with our own cash and shave on site. No chance...
 
If you do a good job and you know they wouldn't replace you over something so trivial, tell them to swivel and ignore them. Take the disciplinaries and call their bluff.
 
They allow tashes and beards and man pony tails. But you have to grow them while on holiday and come back when it is a beard and no longer just looking unshaven.
 
If your customer facing then there will be a certain amount they have a say over in terms of being presentable but unless its really really uncared for looking stubble they'd struggle to justify taking issue with it. If your turning up multiple times a week looking unkempt then its another matter.

The Personal Manager who interviewed/ hired me didn't seem to care. So i guess my FFPP manager was being a douche.
 
pathetic,

I'm a man.

I grow a beard.

I'm starting to understand where fight club was coming from at the point he says "is this how a real man is supposed to look?" pointing at a clean shaven fairy.

If they said that to be i'm claim to be muslim, no joke LOL
 
A company can impose and enforce a dress code / policy - which can include requirements as to facial hair - so long as the reason behind it is for genuine business purposes. You have a client facing role. They are a brand. They want you to present the brand image. Frankly, you have a job and if you want to keep it why would you not abide by the dress code?
 
Isn't this pretty much standard for customer facing roles in retail?

Although never having done a stint in that position I'm just guessing!

I'm sure customers would appreciate and awesome stylized patch of stubble over a stonking beard so why are beards accepted?

Personally, I would say that was a beard - Not really a stubble is it :p

And it might be your "right" to wear facial hair, but if your work says it goes or you go, then they've given you your two options...

Workplaces that have rules regarding facial hair, normally stick the rule in the contract or whatnot. I doubt you'll be able to do anything about it.
