“The Tattoo? His Grand Mom’s Numbers”: Policy of New Manager Gets Their Finest Person in the Company Fired

The painting of bodies which was once associated with rebellion is now well approved of. Employees who have tattoos are no longer exposed to such significant discrimination when it comes to the workplace.
some professional environs still have hard policies on seeable tattoos. The workplace had a sudden “no tattoo” policy posted by Reddit, which cost them experienced employees.
To show their fury, the workers turned into an anti-work society.

While body art has become more acceptable in professional settings, there are still certain businesses that impose restrictions.

Small machine shop – 22 employees including office admins

However, due to his familiarity with and apparent competence as a manager of this industry — he’s been open about becoming a union shop for floor personnel and giving generous employee PTO and leave policies — I think he might be all right.
His ONE weakness is tattoos. There’s no reason whatsoever why an employee may have a tattoo – except if it is medical / radiation alignment markers; what even the hell are those? What else could it be except for an anti-gang issue?
A guy with an awesome tattoo on both arms was passed over for a new CNC operator last October. We lost him, didn’t we?
This weekend, though, we lost our boss who had been working as a machinist for over forty years just because he had a hidden tattoo on his arm that I never knew about.
The new owner called it a Nazi Tattoo because it matched the tattoos used by the German regime during World War II.
It was His Grandmother’s Numbers which were forcefully placed on her body while she was still a child in one of the German Concentration Camps. He wore those numbers to honor his late grandmother and all of the things she went through before finally making it to America.

I am beyond livid at this. Not only did we lose our Man but for such dumb reasons too.

I don’t want answers; it’s not my problem or issue, and he claims to be happy not working now so he is saying he wants free time according to our foreman himself. I am simply here to vent because no one seems to care at work anymore except me. I’m just so mad about this though.
Thank you so much for listening.

I was mad that a very skilled employee could be let go by the management in such an absurd way

The author of the post narrated his story out of disappointment after seeing another experienced worker dismissed on those grounds. The foreman left work early and received severance pay as a result. For younger workers, tattoos had to be discussed, while older ones felt that it influenced professionalism. It is argued by the author that companies have the right to enforce policies but should aim at an open dialogue with their employees.

In terms of percentage, this is about 40% of America’s population

Only 12 percent of workers will show tattoos at job even though over 40 percent of the US local workers has tattoos on them. This implies recruitment limitations and a decline in morale because certain personal choices are perceived to be violated resulting from negative job interviews since about 76% feel body art negatively affects job interviews.

Owners are way more forgiving of tattoos than even few years ago

According to new data, organizations have become more accepting concerning interviewing applicants who have visible tattoos; whereas four percent face discrimination against them with seventy-three percent willing to recruit people bearing permanent marks on their bodies. UPS and Disney are some of the big corporations that now permit body art by relaxing their dress codes. Tattoos have now become something personal and cultural, which makes clients perceive tattooed staff positively. Workers are urged to treat tattoos just like any other thing.
