A code of conduct is super necessary for protecting other people from what is typically accepted and legal behavior. We do so many things that we don't know hurts other people like that. It's not about being protected from someone's existence though. Like biscuit's example. If they are really wearing clothes that are too sexual and that makes people uncomfortable, that is obviously a problem. But if it's just a guy wearing a regular shirt, and people are uncomfortable because he happens to be gay, that is the fault of a culture of homophobia, not the guy. That's the problem with hiring for "culture". If you have a bunch of guys who like talking about what chicks they're trying to fuck this weekend, then a woman or a gay guy would definitely cause friction. If you have a bunch of racists, then hiring a black person would ruin your culture. If your company culture likes designer outfits, then indeed the poor guy who only has only has one ragged suit would not fit in. If you think these examples are extreme or rare then let's talk about naive... I realize a tons of companies have gatekeeping cultural requirements like these. I don't like any of them, but that's not my point. My point is you should never I also don't try to "fix" yourself to fit into these companies, because you won't, and you'll only lose yourself in the process. Although a lot of real cultural change comes from entering these companies as the odd one out and facing all those issues, but that also requires you to maintain your individuality. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:911179028] in Hair Color...
