wonder if anyone can advise me...i work at asda and they have introduced new dress regulations which are stricter.basically i have my tongue pierced and the new regs state that we aren't allowed to wear tongue studs at work
i dont wish to remove mine and have been told that everytime i come into work with it still in disciplinary action will be taken.today i received the 1st "councelling" session and tomorrow there will be an "investigation" if it's still in.this will lead to my 1st discipline.2 more after that and i'd get sacked.

is this fair/allowed?

to anyone reading who thinks its silly and i should just remove it then pls dont bother posting because i dont wanna do that.id rather take another job if thats what it takes.

if thats that and theres nothing i can do then fair do's but just thought id ask.

along with this guideline they have same procedure if anyone has a necklace showing,are wearing more than 1 ring on their hands,any tattoos showing and a lip or eyebrow piercing.however they are allowing nose studs to be worn due to "religious beliefs".they deem a tongue stud to be "generally offensive to the public" but i personally dont see how that is any worse than a nose stud which can be seen at all times.funny thing is my personnel manager didnt even know i had my peircing and she's worked with us for ages.kinda proves my point that its not really that offensive cos most ppl dont even see it!

so what do i do?
