Work discrimination
I have just been told by the director of my company, that kilts don't represent the image of the company I work for, so I shouldn't wear one.
I work in the main back offices, the hq.
There are trainings which take place there, as well as meetings with our sales advisors. I work in IT, in Programming, I have no contact to the customers.
I do use the same enterance though and have been seen often, on the way to and from my office.
I work, in Germany in Hamburg.
He also mentioned, that people would think that I am strange and also "Homo", this was said in German, but the Translation is accurate.
He states that it is not "Normal dress wear and should not be worn to work.
I said quite clearly that I disagree, but that I would do as requested.
So tommorrow I will be forced against my wish to wear trousers.
I wish to make a complaint, and ask for a written statement from my company.
This will of course endager my job, which is insane, but I am not going to let someone tell me I can't wear a kilt, I have seen members of the royal family wearing them, it's isn't uncommon at weddings.
I have no interest in conflict, can anyone suggest a solution?
I wear simple plain utilikilts, in beige or brown to work, with a jumper or TShirt, I don't swagger or boast, or make a big deal out it. It's just my clothing.
Sincerely
Douglas
