[WI] My employer wants me to wear a wig

quote:

Can my employer require me to wear a wig?

I'm a woman with thinning hair. HR says my hair is "unprofessional", and wearing a hat or head cover was also rejected ("It's not normal to wear headwear indoors"). I work a desk job in an office environment and direct customer interaction is very rare. I have a number of bald/thinning male co-workers.

Is this gender discrimination? It seems that gender-based hair requirements are legal, so maybe not.

My thinning hair started during pregnancy, but I'm not currently pregnant. I don't have any other medical issues.

Wigs are expensive and uncomfortable, and my employer is not willing to reimburse me for the cost of a wig. They are expecting me to purchase a wig that is comparable in appearance to natural hair ($$$).

How hard can I push back? I can't lose this job, but I don't want to wear a wig every day for the indefinite future. I've been given two weeks to acquire a wig for daily wear.

WIBTA for telling my vegan neighbor that their 'vegan' baby is only healthy because of animal products?

My next door neighbors are vegan. The man is obviously more into it than the woman is. They were raw vegan when the woman announced her pregnancy. She obviously wasn't doing well on it. Some months in, she was visiting me midday, talking about how much she was suffering, the weight loss, and that she was afraid of losing the baby. I offered her some food because I was making myself an egg sandwich.

She wasn't comfortable with eating meat, but agreed to an egg and lactose free cheese sandwich. I used butter also because I felt she needed more nutrients. She almost cried from happiness while eating it. She ate at least one egg and cheese at my house every day. Her pregnancy went from "high risk" to completely fine.

The father of the kid is bragging that his family is vegan and that raw vegan makes perfectly healthy children. WIBTA if I told him the truth and that the only reason things are fine is because of animal products?

These people are going to kill their kid if it makes it to birth.

Dude, there are tons of places which would flip their poo poo over any indication that you might be using illegal drugs including (but not limited to):
-Anything involving the educational system.
-Government workers
-Private companies who do lots of business with the federal government
-Anything requiring a security clearance
-Many, many private companies who have a “zero tolerance” policy

Remember, the US has little-to-no worker’s rights. And by the way, unless you’ve got a union backing you up, they don’t even need to drug test you to prove it - you’re in a photo where this was happening, we have “reasonable suspicions” based on that, you agreed to a zero tolerance policy, so get the gently caress out of here fired-with-cause.

How do I (f27) save my relationship with my boyfriend (25) after the mess I created?

quote:

My boyfriend "A" and I have been together for three years. Him and I were supposed to visit a few friends and family members of mine for my birthday/vacation to California. The trip had been planned months in advanced to avoid any complications. Everything was going smoothly until my friend "Holly" decided she would join our vacation for a few days because she also has family in California.

My boyfriend was always skeptical of Holly because she apperantly has a drug problem that she didn't care enough to get help for. Initially, I assumed that he didn't want her there simply because he thought she would be an inconvenience. Holly seemed like a good person and had never given me a reason not to trust her. My boyfriend thought otherwise.

My boyfriend would always tell me Holly was a bad influence and that it wasn't the best idea for either of us to be around her. He claimed she was only pretending to be nice. He said that something always felt off about her. My boyfriend can be cynical at times and I simply believed he was paranoid because he hasn't really gotten to know her.

The arguments between me and my boyfriend began the last couple of weeks leading up to the trip. He kept pressing on about how Holly was a bad influence and not a nice person. I got fed up with it and accused him of being controlling and manipulative (he's not). On the final argument before the trip he gave me an ultimatum; he said if Holly went on the trip, he would stay behind.

I was so angry with him that 2 days before the trip I went and stayed with Holly and didn't answer any of his calls. During our last argument I grabbed my stuff and stormed off. My boyfriend asked where I was going and I replied "to find somebody better and less controlling." He didn't know where I was and I ultimately ended up going on the trip with Holly (HUGE mistake).

Turns out the "family" Holly had in California were just drug dealers. I let Holly borrow a pair of jeans from me and when she returned them...you guessed it, drugs were in the pockets. She tried to get me to do drugs with her and even sell it.

I left home a day later and immediately tried to apologize to my boyfriend, but he didn't answer my texts or my calls. When I got home I could tell my boyfriend had been crying a lot because his eyes were so swollen. He packed a small backpack and left to stay at his brother's for a couple days. To make matters worse, he left a box with the most beautiful bracelet I have ever seen and a letter tittled "to the love of my life." I immediately started bawling because I chose a dumb friend over him.

I feel like a complete idiot for not trusting my boyfriend when he was only looking out for my well being. I regret what I said and what I did. I deserve to be told every insult under the sun.

Please help me. He hasn't broken up with me, but how do I apologize and win his love back? How can I make it up to him for my loving stupidity? I'll do anything not to loose him.

TL;DR: chose a stupid drug addict friend over my loving boyfriend.

It can be easy to overlook flaws in a friend, especially if you knew them before the problems (though it's not clear if that's the case with Holly). I'm gonna guess that Holly encouraged things as well, "he's a jerk who just doesn't like sharing your time" sorts of narratives.

A couple years ago I was in a Counter Strike match with someone who kept calling everyone in the game various racial slurs via voice/text. His username was his Twitch URL so I go to it and sure enough he's there streaming with a webcam and has his full name and military occupation in his About Me. I saved the VOD of the match but never actually went through with sending it anywhere that might get him in trouble.

AITA for drinking and getting drunk with my 18 year old son ?

quote:

My son started going to parties and since i my wife Are not stupid, we know that There Will be alkohol There. So my wife Said that i should drink with him at Home so he finds his "zone" and know how much he Can drink.

Well fine, why not, he wanted it too and i thought It would be a bonding thing. Well, the night is There and we Are playing some board games and taking shots. We laugh and get drunk, both of us... Suddenly my wife comes and sees us and she starts almost litterally snarlig at me that i wasnt supposed to get drunk... I was just supposed to drink with him. I asked her how was i supposed to do that. She told me that was something i har to figurer out myself. Noe she calls med an rear end in a top hat, an irresponsible person and is thinking about a divorce. So Reddit please tell me, was i in the wrong ?

Ps. It was ny first time drinking in 8 years

I'm pretty happy with this whole FBI drama happening in the drama thread. That's a great gift from the internet.

Anyway can't we all agree that while drugs are great fun, idiots that can't help but post evidence online for said FBI agents (or rear end in a top hat bosses) to find are insufferable and probably shouldn't be invited to parties anyway? I live in a weed legal state and my employer doesn't give a poo poo, but at the same time I'm not posting that stuff online.
