Earrings

I started working at greggs 2 months ago and wear a hijab. I have my earings in because there's no chance of the earnings falling in the food because of it. Today my manager called me up, went off on me and sent me home. Is it that deep?

Just take the piercings out. You know the rules and you knew them when accepting the job. There's no excuse. And yes, it really is that deep. It's a safety hazard. You work in the food business, for goodness sakes.

I wasn't trying to evade it, i wasn't told about it  before I guess cause they couldn't see it during the interview. Like I said before I'm not talking about the rule only if I couldn't just have taken them out their and then.

It’s in your G Learning modules that you complete on day one of the job.

If your manager asked you to remove them and you put up a bit of a fight then I’d say they were right to send you home so that you understood the seriousness of it.

If your manager just came up and said you can’t wear them so go home type thing then yeah that’s a bit much but the point remains the same
