So way back in the recesses of 2014, I posted about makeup BS at work. I work for a new company now...I work FROM HOME...not to mention its 2022 and this came up...AGAIN!
On a "zoom" call TWO YEARS post global pandemic...where people have been working from home and zooming has become more normalized. I had someone make a comment on my "makeupless" face.
It was a 7AM call that I wasn't even supposed to be on. I don't generally log in until 8AM so there was no reason for me to be "made up" at that time. But since I was "summoned" I logged in to do whatever. About 10 people didn't have cameras on so I didn't feel bad.
Well because some 60 year old (not being an @$$hole, they really are 60) decided we all had to have cameras on, so I did. Then he...YES HE...proceeded to call me out on a call with 25+ people about having no makeup on.
I was so flabbergasted I didn't even know what to say at first. One, I wasn't even supposed to be logged on! Two, Rude! Three, 100% something I do not need to wear. So I said as professionally as possible, f**k off, and the meeting continued. Then, he proceeds to make $hit comments the rest of the meeting.
Rather than publically be a jerk, because I know that's what he wanted, I just ignored him and rolled my eyes. Mind you it wasn't all on me. He was making comments about others. Look we weren't frumpy or homeless looking. I had on a nice shirt, hair fixed, and lipgloss. Just not a full face of makeup.
So after some consideration, it was decided to make a formal complaint to HR. Basically stating when he has to wear makeup everyday, I'll consider it. He was removed from the meetings I was on and no one told me I have to wear makeup. I still think more should have happened but whatever.
Rant over. But seriously mind your own business. I have sensitive skin and I don't like makeup everyday. Also, NOT IN THE HANDBOOK and NOT REQUIRED you sexist @$$hat.
