Yes, 34 to be exact. It said on the listing I couldn’t wear them, I had to agree to that b4 the interview, was told when I got on the interview site, told before I signed a piece of paper stating the same thing, and had another random tell me this info before those 4 ppl I mentioned. All that was in the 1st hour I was there then those last 30min when they were discussing offers, I went to the bathroom and passed those 4 ppl that HAD to say smth there and back

They never mentioned I couldn’t wear them to the interview and honestly I’m glad cause I needed to see this💀. Companies always show how they treat workers in your 1st few interactions and this was NOT a great look imo😭😭😭

I’m ngl, wearing 34 piercings to an interview for a company that already made you sign an agreement not to wear piercings to work is a brain dead move

I don’t understand how and honestly idc. I followed the rules they asked of me and if they wanted them out for the interview they should’ve said so lol. Got a better job anyway so universe always sends me in the right path 😋

If I showed up to a job interview in a wife beater and gym shorts, I can’t be surprised if they suggest that I’m not dressed appropriately. I can’t just say “oh well they didn’t say I had to dress formally for a job interview,” it’s just common knowledge. And your care is even worse because they had made it very clear to you up front that they don’t like piercings

You’re equating improper job interview etiquette IN GENERAL to a preference made by company that is only binding once Im part of their pay roll, WHICH IM NOT. Idky ur bout to buss a nut for a company’s principals that you don’t even know the name of 💀 Yea they said I can’t wear them WHEN HIRED, and I signed the stupid paper saying I’d abide by that on my 1st day actually being paid. Ytf do I need to hear that from everyone and their mother during open interviews??
