Corporate Job and Beards?

[Dundee]

Along the lines of GAgunLAWbooklet. I was in the same position, where I grew attached to a longer beard, and wanted to keep it going. I stepped up my appearance otherwise, above the level to which I could be held accountable. You can turn anything to your advantage.

I'm surprised by this thread. I've worn a beard my entire life and only shaved it three times. Never once considered what my employee, boss, or customers thought.

If anything is said to you. Look at them with confidence and say....

Dress and groom to emulate those who are in a position to advance your career. Jamie Dimon does not have a beard. Sir Richard Branson does. It's all about context.

I work for the largest chemical company in the world.
I work in a territory and not an office building.
I am in the construction products division.
My beard is acceptable.

Yours looks well groomed.

Defining your industry more may help with more relevant advice.

Can you ask the boss? Serious question, not trying to be a D.

Yeah. I could. Probably will. just scared of his answer being something like "if you have to ask, you probably already know"

Been thinking about this too. Over-dress to make it look better
