Discrimination | Female employee accused of being ill after not wearing makeup

When going into work, employees should be able to wear whatever they want, providing that it adheres to the company’s uniform policy or dress code.

Not only will this allow employees to bring their whole selves to work, but it will also make them feel happier and more confident in their role. The same applies to the employee's physical appearance. However, one female employee caught a colleague’s attention for not wearing makeup to work.

Twitter user @meghamohan explained that after turning up to work makeup-free, she received three emails in one day from a colleague – that she refers to in the thread as Brian - saying that she looked ill.

She continued: “Thank you Brian, you’ve inspired me to go makeup-free to work today and also the next report. Also, I’m not ill.”
