Management needs to learn to proactively handle problems they have with their associates. Intentionally withholding opportunities of growth is not the way to address a problem you have with an associate.
Small town gossip has no place in the work environment. Gossiping about the appearance of your employees to other employees, especially management, shows that the true intent of management is not to have successful associates, but instead to have pretty faces to look at.
Management needs to evaluate the SKILLS AND ABILITY of their employees and not their appearance. If management is accepting of men with unmaintenanced beards and hair, then why should women not be allowed to embrace the beauty of their natural hair as long as it is kept presentable.
