I Love My Beard

If it's what they want and you know this going in, then to work the job, you need to do what they want in that aspect. It's their place of business. I mean, if the beard is that important to you, you can always look for another job.

@CountScrofula if they ever ask you to shave your beard at work, you're quitting.

I guess you have to shave or not accept the job.

Shave or change jobs .. guess it depends on how good a job it is.

Shaved mine to wear a respirator and be on an Emergency Response team when I worked in a chemical plant early in my career. Re-grew it after I transferred to an office job at another site about 3 years later.

Today I started the new Job. I saw at least 5 with a good growth beard. I shall regrow my beard 😏.

How badly do you want (or need) the job ? Consider that question and you have your answer.
