An open letter to employers |
If you hire only those people you understand, the company will never get people better than you are. Always remember that you often find outstanding people among those you don't particularly like.– Soichiro Honda
Some businesses with anti-body modification hiring practices and dresscodes allow their employees to petition for exceptions, and others allow regional managers to overrule these codes as they see fit. I’ve written the following open letter in order to help people tackle these issues, and also to try and help businesses understand how hiring “the modified” can actually be a good thing for their business rather than something bad (or neutral). If you’d like a printable version of this letter (or one that’s easy to copy and paste into a word processor), click here. I hope this helps someone.
