Today, I\u2019ve got a little tale of corporate hilarity to share with you. You know, the kind that makes you scratch your head and wonder if we\u2019ve somehow time-travelled back to the \u201960s when being \u201cdifferent\u201d was frowned upon.<\/p>\n<p>So, I recently received an email from our dear HR department, and let\u2019s just say it was a real gem. They were kind enough to remind me that my facial piercings \u2013 the double nose piercing and my beloved labret \u2013 are apparently landing me in the misfit category of professionalism. Oh, but it gets better! They even took issue with my eyelash extensions. Who knew that fluttery lashes were the bane of corporate existence?<\/p>\n<p>Now, I initially scratched my head, wondering why my piercings and lashes could be an issue in a country that supposedly champions inclusion, freedom of expression, and individuality. But then it hit me like a ton of black lipstick \u2013 it\u2019s discrimination, folks! A personal attack on goths worldwide! I mean, I am Gothic by culture, and this feels like a direct assault on all my gothic brethren.<\/p>\n<p>HR\u2019s email was a masterclass in passive-aggressive language, citing sections of the Company Appearance Policy and Procedure that I apparently violated. So, like any responsible citizen, I decided to delve into the depths of this policy. Lo and behold, nothing even remotely resembled my appearance as a breach. In fact, it was like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole \u2013 utterly impossible.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s even more baffling is that the policy seems to be directed at another department, one that deals with health and safety \u2013 something that has about as much relevance to me as a garlic necklace to a vampire. My dear HR, maybe you should review your aim before firing off those policy missiles.<\/p>\n<p>So, here I am, in Europe, where I thought my voice was heard and valued, but it appears I\u2019ve been transported back to a time when individuality was squashed. Apparently, my appearance isn\u2019t \u201cprofessional\u201d because, in a completely non-objective manner, I don\u2019t conform to their idea of the ordinary \u201cplain Jane\u201d look.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I\u2019m a bit offended. But fear not, dear readers, I shall yield to avoid the melodrama and humdrum of it all. Yet, let\u2019s be clear, this is absolutely chucklesome. I may be outrageous in the eyes of HR, but I\u2019m also just a tad bit too fabulous to fit into their bland, corporate box.<\/p>\n<p>So, here\u2019s to all you non-conformists out there \u2013 keep being fabulous, keep expressing yourself, and remember, it\u2019s a corporate jungle out there, but we\u2019re the ones adding a bit of spice to the otherwise monotonous landscape. Cheers to individuality, even if it comes with a double nose piercing and some dramatic lashes!<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/>\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, well, well, folks.
