Reply #327: I have alot against Mormons [View All]

[Gnostic]

I have long hair and am a man. Now, one would think, in this modern day and age, quite separated from the uptight stick-in-the-ass attitudes of the 50's and 60's towards it, that it would be more or less accepted by now.

I keep it VERY neat and VERY clean, tied back constantly while at work, and I have had a variety of big, industrial and commercial contracting jobs where it was never an issue at all, including the oil and plumbing industries.

One day, many moons ago, I applied for a job with a major hotel corporation as a chief engineer. I went through the entire hiring process, and was accepted, and i ended up turning another good offer down that came in 3 days later because I thought I'd be going to that company. This was a hard time of year to find a job (winter in Alaska) and the decision was crucial, but the foreman had already said I'm hired so.....

I came in on the day they said to start. The foreman brought me into the head offices to get my pee test started and get all the prerequisite paperwork done (taxes, etc). A woman I had never seen before came in, she apparently was a big wig, had her own office with a view and I guess she was some sort of VP. Anyway, it was her job to hand me a stack of company policy paperwork to read through, and as she did, she looked at me hard. I looked back, said thank you and started to sit down to fill out the stuff. Nothing was said. Later, after I drove across town to do the drug screen and back, the foreman looked at me with sad eyes and started just apologizing profusely over and over. I was like, WTF? He said sorry, I can't hire you after all, unless you cut your hair, would you be willing to do that? I said no, somebody should have told me that's a requirement before all this, and that I find it discriminatory that women can have it and not men in the same company. He explained it was'nt him at all, that it was HER, because, yes, she was a MORMON and the entire COMPANY was owned by Mormons. He actually got angry because they were having a hard time finfing anyone with the particular skills I have and he got on the phone to her right in front of me and told her, even though he had short hair, that he was a vard carrying American Indian and that he's sue if they ever told him that and that he could'nt understand why when he finally finds a skilled hand he can't hire him over bullshit like this. But she put her foot down and that was the end of it.

Yes, I have alot against the thug mormons, They can all kiss my HAIRY ASS.
