I Rejected a Finalist Because of Tattoos

If they weren’t inappropriate tattoos I don’t see what the big deal is. The way you described them, you just cut a candidate for choices that were made 20 years ago. People grow and change.

I’ve worked retail and food service jobs where tattoos had to be covered in the 90s. To me, having a visible tattoo in a job interview is unprofessional and would be a red flag. I know some of my colleagues have tattoos now in the corporate world, but they keep them covered.

The observation is more about you and less about him. However, I am more than sure that this is a troll meant to stir people up.

There is a reason he’s an outside hire looking in. Probably unprofessional and desperate for a new role.

You’re stupid.

You're so tough, OP, wow, you sure showed him.

Here's someone else's Nobel medal, gold crown replica, and fake Fifa peace prize. Feel free to bomb another country.

Image trumps attendance, especially in lucrative sales.

This is fake but I agree with the premise.

I had no idea this place was a strip club.

Agree with op. This was a good call.

Good. He showed himself out.

So ... your mores are basically ancient.
