Tattoos and corporate buttmonkeying

[jsiddle]

My wife's arms are covered from the backs of her hands to her shoulders. And I mean covered, no more room for anything. She also has a chest piece and her ribs and back have work too. She is a nurse. If she weren't really good at her job, she wouldn't get hired on anywhere. She has been turned down at all of the major hospitals here in Dayton entirely because of her tattoo's, not because of her degree and exceptional work history. It is HELL trying to get a job in Dayton with tattoo's.

this post certainly requires pictures!

When I read your first post on this thread my impression was that the company you work for is in its death throes. In my experience any time a place starts arbitrarily enforcing meaningless policies it's the start of a long walk off a short cliff. Sorry to hear you're caught in such a shitstorm. Makes me grateful I live someplace where almost no one cares about tats. Good on luck getting tehfuggoutta there smoothly.

I got a hit on a new job today. My application passed the first test and they are going to do my criminal background check now. If I get it, it will have full government benefits and I'll get to live somewhere I've always wanted to live, so wish me luck.

Pulling for you Baron!

Good luck with that job interview.
My wife is currently pregnant with our first child, and pretty much hates cameras. I'd ask her, but I really don't feel like getting hit. It is pretty bogus though, that tattoo's are still a taboo in our culture.

Good luck Baron, I was out of work for over a year and it was not just painful but it drove me mad as I would apply for jobs paying 50% less than I had made in over 10 years only to never get a call and if I did the interview seemed more like the interviewer was on a fishing expedition trying to pick my brain about the competition in the city. Finally after a lot of prayers and hard work; 5-20 resumes a day, everyday! I was able to find work and the hiring process was long, 3 months! Best wishes.

Good luck Baron, I hope you get this.

I am a Texas Correctional Officer. I have many visible tattoos (in a short sleeve shirt) from forearms to upper arms to where the sleeve falls. One other officer on my unit has more ink (almost a full sleeve both arms), and many officers have more typical arm tattoos. Our Assistant Warden has tattoos (and she is a she, to boot), and they are occasionally visible, depending on what she wears. I have had a strict policy type senior warden stop me, shake my hand, and check out my ink. He didn't say anything negative.
The main concern the State has in regards to tats are:
1. Anything that might be relating to gangs, hate groups, racial issues, etc.
2. Sexual Harassment (tattoos of naked women, breasts, sexual acts, etc.)

Sounds like youre going to announce your candidacy for President. Congratulations, I have always wanted to live in the White House as well, and the benefits are great I hear.

Best of luck. I will vote for you :mrgreen:

Ironically it is for a Correctional Officer position in another state. Hopefully they will have the attitude of portascats superiors.

Good luck, baron! Hope things work out for you.

Nobody would want me to be the President. I'm way too logical and pragmatic. I'd want silly things like for the Government to do its job, obey its own laws and not try to live everyone's lives for them.
