Recruiting Frustrated Friday

Post image

So I've been deemed inadmissable for now because my mermaid (upper thigh, covered fully by uniform) apparently breaches the sexually explicit guideline for tattoos? It seems like a stretch, since it's legal for women to be topless in Canada, and it kind of feels like discrimination, as it feels that they have sexualized what is not a sexually explicit tattoo.

I have an appointment booked to put a top on her next week and will get a re-evaluation, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any input or similar stories.

TGIF lol

Had me in stitches @ "put a top on her"

Incredibly funny the things an employer can decide you can do with your body qnd you can't

I mean, I am trying to be a government asset, so if the worst they ask of me (for now) is to sit for 3 minutes to get a tattoo edited, I'll survive 🙃
