However, after discovering that Claire had inkings on her hand - which would be difficult to cover up - the firm backtracked and said they could not hire her as the design may 'cause offence'.
Frustrated Claire, who got the intricate tattoo that extends
from her forefinger, over her hand and on to her forearm 18 months ago, vented
her anger on Facebook. She told her followers:
'I got a new job today! And then I got sacked within half an
hour. I had a telephone interview today with Dee Set for a retail merchandiser
and was happy when at the end of the phone call she told me I had the position
and would be starting next week. The company then sent me an e-mail with their
dress standards. As I read it I was gutted as they noted that all tattoos must
be covered up as they are likely to cause offence.
Thinking that this was an 'old standard e-mail the company
sent out', Claire contacted Dee Set, hoping that their views had changed and
explained that her emblem wouldn't affect her work.
She continued: 'I have 6 years previous experience in
managerial roles and my tattoos have never been an issue. That is until I
applied for a role with Dee Set that work with Tesco, Asda, Boots and other
chains. I was shocked when they replied and said they would no longer be
employing me as I would not be able to cover my tattoos. They clearly thought I
had something to offer and would be the right person for the job as they had
already offered me the position,' she said.
'I'm shocked that people still discriminate against visible
tattoos. I just didn't think this happened any more. I'm totally disgusted,'
she said while ending her rant.
Claire's rant has been shared nearly 2,000 times now and
re-tweeted by American plus-size model Tess Holliday, who is a fellow ink
devotee.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Serve her right.

ReplyDeleteNobody wants to hire an irresponsible person
ReplyDeleteHer face sef looks like it's been enhanced surgically
ReplyDeleteThe company 'employer' must be incompetent to have hired her in the first place. Did he or she not see the tattoo on her neck? She should see a lawyer for legal advice because you shouldn't fire an employee for your own fault!!!

She looks like a transgender btw. And why is she that shocked? Abeg! Most jobs don't allow visible tattoos and facial piercings anyway as it looks inappropriate and offensive to some. If it can be well covered, fine. If not, sorry.
ReplyDeleteToor
ReplyDeleteNice one.... look responsible even if u are not responsible
ReplyDeleteI wish evrybdy with tatoo cud jst be fired immediately! As for the who got fired, she got wot she bargained for. Let it serve as a deterrent to ppl hu tink writing on their body is morally accepted. If U must do that,,pls b self dependent or self employed.
ReplyDeleteYou must be a terrorist lol
