Re: work discrimination

Have you suffered on-the-job discrimination for reason of your facial hair? Not yet, unless you are a member of a recognized Religious group that needs to keep a goatee OR you suffer an iritating condition when shaving close - and then only if you are a member of a race or ethnic grouping that is known to have that particular malady.

Maybe the promises of the first boss are binding on the successor.

Good Luck.
