Antiwork

They didn’t hire me because my hair is too long.

Applied for an assistant property manager position after getting my real estate license. Wanted to get a foothold in the industry and start making a wage while gathering some business of my own. The offer was full-time, in-office for $13-$15 per hour. I was prepared to ask for at least $20. One of the interviewers called me to say I was “number one” on their list, but they needed to discuss their “appearance policies” first. I am a man with very long, thick hair which I grow every few years to donate. They asked if I'd donate early. I said no. They didn't offer me the job because my hair was past my collar, in violation of their policy. What year is it? 1968? End of rant. Also, fuck those nerds.
