Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

A blender? They got it easy. We still use an old hand crank grinder. When you get tired and start trying to lean over the grinder to get more leverage it gets bad quick.
Don't worry, the streamlining of hairdos will make the company more money.
WTF??? Why would they care?
While I personally think this is completely inappropriate (quick question - Do you work with any women? Have they had similar conversations with management?), I did tell you the pigtails thing was too far, no matter how cute you felt.

The same reason Hooters wants pretty girls. Our employees are supposed to project an image for our customers, and our image is supposed to be rather conservative.
Apparently they only started allowing facial hair within the last few years because somebody threatened to make a stink about it on religious grounds.

I suspect they would have similar notifications if they decided to cut their hair too short.
Congrats. God spoke to you last night and told you that you can't cut your ponytail. New religious belief.

I think the laws/rules are much more explicit about facial hair than hairstyle... and in any case, this isn't a hill I'm particularly keen on dying on.
It's a bummer that it was JUST getting to the length where it wasn't a pain in the ass any more.
Wow. That’s wild. I didn’t know that was a thing. Are they tattoo friendly?

Only if the tattoos are covered by the polos and khakis we all wear.

Well, I still have my zappa. Still looking forward to the day when company policy no longer requires a good seal on N95 masks so I can grow my beard back.I'm not sure I'd trust an A/V guy that isn't a little grungy
And just so we can all see it in its full, womanly glory, here's the offending ponytail before I had it cut off. It's gone now.
Somewhere behind that curl probablyWhere?
How'd you even manage to get that in a hair tie?

The more I think about it, the more I bet this was political. I've had the tail for a couple weeks now, and the exec that wrote the email to me about it had seen it previously on several occasions.
But I got the email within an hour of the office Komiya (two-faced brown nosing busybody) seeing it for the first time. I bet the douchebag thought he'd be scoring points by "reporting" it. And as he is the guy whose terrible coding got him pushed out of the department, leaving me to get lots of kudos cleaning up his messes, I bet him imagining me upset was probably icing on the cake for him.

Send it to him, anonymously. With a note that says "You still can't code."

Dude can't do ANYTHING right. We're all bewildered how he still has a job. He singlehandedly cost us over 6 figures in the past 12 months. Directly his fault. We can only surmise he has compromising pictures of one of the executives.
Didn't go to work yesterday. Too depressed to go today. I just...I don't know what to do anymore. I feel...stuck.

You & me both, brother.
Got jury summons for the U.S. district court, which essentially means I am on call for the entire month of May, needing to call in every Friday to see if they will need me for the upcoming week. Not having a job works against me here, but they did make me fill out a questionnaire, maybe my husband being a computer engineer will make them think I am still too smart to be on a jury. (I know that my husband never gets picked for shit because no one wants smart jurors ) That or my husband being a computer engineer and me not having a job will make them think I'm too upper class (lol) to be on a jury.
