The owner of the job does not want a staff with leg chain(s) and you are asking why! Abeg, if you want to appear as you like, open your own business. No body go disturb you

Maximus85:


Im still shocked many people still reason this way. When i speak against leg chains, i almost feel like im mad like i dont have sense.

One thing you should know is that half of the people on social media are actually what they're not in real life... You can choose to follow their trends at your own peril.
If you call most of those ing her in the name of civilisations or freedom for an interview, you will see them dressed corporately, but they will still cheer someone else for dressing indecently for a job interview.
Truth is, if you don't use your brains, someone else will use it for you.

My dear....I just tire....
The way this generation lack common sense eeeh...
Even the friend that came to defend it on social media too has an empty brain.....

Good morning, to an extent we should adhere strictly to what our society accept; leg chain is uncalled for when we talk about professionalism and work ethics in Nigeria. There are jobs but ignorant and foolishness ensures that many Nigerians are still unemployed. Those that are unemployed have had one or more opportunities but they messed it up as a result of "just a little mistake" or even "known mistakes".

A clear example: i have lived all my life in the East until after my service year, i moved to the North and realized that waist bead is common in the North, i didn't condemn anyone about it knowing full well that it's a culture/fashion to some tribes in Nigeria. I observe that a lady who always come around me uses waist bead (she was well mannered, a wonderful lady to the core) . I knew that she wanted a relationship so i told her that I'm not familiar with ladies with beads, she flared up, said some unremarkable words and left. 6 days on, she came and apologized and told me that she had removed the bead just to make me comfortable, i accepted her plea and we moved on as good friends.

In the employment sector, during job test and interview proper, the keyword is "Elimination" without mercy, if a job seeker had a second chance, it's always a miracle or some other forces, that is how jobs works in this part of the world.

Bigredmachine:
We all know the normal way to live in this world, especially in Nigeria... Some out of too much money has gone an extra mile to start living in a wayward way...

In Nigeria for example... As a young boy who is Tintin his hair, drawing tattoo, fixing dreads, wearing hearings and other things... Without being a super Star is only drawing unwanted problems to him self, cos the society will not consider u as responsible... Plus avoidable harassment from police

If u have no reasons to do some certain things, wear some certain clothes, why do it...

Nice one, wisdom is profitable to direct
The way you're dressed is the way you're addressed.
I will never employ someone who will bring down my company and make my customers flee cos of their looks. If it's an interview in a hotel, club or bar she could be taken but in a corporate world no no!

What could be wrong disqualifying a lady in a job interview for wearing a leg chain?

Let that useless friend give her chained leg friend job now since it has nothing to do with it poverty stricken dumb numb head girls everywhere.

openmine:

Obviously you didn't peruse my earlier comments before hastily reacting!
All companies have different ethics for their working environment, hence no matter your opinion about wrist and ankle chain,when you step into a company that has zero tolerance for such attires,you will do well to conform to such authority if you have a desire to work there!

Like I said ab initio,every company with their different policies to ensure decorum and proper behaviour depending on the kind of clients the employee will be interacting with!

If you have issues with those rules,you can go to another company where such attires are permissible or better still,you can start your own company & maybe hire employees that dress anyhow!
Its that simple!

You wrote a lot without making sense. Keep it simple and concise.
I have worked in over 4 top tier banks in Nigeria and non prohibits ankle chains. Now tell me which other sector dresses more corporate than bankers?.
If the particular company is against ankle chains, the professional thing to do is give her the handbook or ethic books that contains their dress code.
As long as she is not yet your staff, it is moronic to lose a talent because of ankle chain.
I asked you a simple question, what is wrong with an ankle chain and how is it different from wrist chains?.
You people need a lot of exposure in life.

Ray7878:


I like the way you debate without childish name calling, so kudos, I don’t see that enough on here.

Maybe it’s because I was born and bred in the UK maybe that’s why my views are different but as far as my experience I can tell you that the worst people I have come across are the ones who use religion as their front. I have never judge anyone based on their appearance.

Someone’s mind and approach is the real things that I look at for. It’s like growing up in the UK as a black African man and being judge because of the colour of your skin. That’s what a lot of west Africans don’t realise. They judge you by your looks, not by your heart, which is really sad and ignorant to be honest.

Personally I don’t care how you look, you can dress however you like, as long as your heart is of gold. I am 43 years old now and have come across people from different walk of life, it just saddens me when I see my own people judging themselves based on appearance, it just reminds me of growing up in the UK with my African parents and being called racists names whilst walking down the street just because they have black skin.

But each to their own, if people think appearance is how God judges us then i don’t know what to say to those people.

Naturalism is different from artificial lifestyle. There are norms in uk that are forbidden in corporate offices. Most of the physical outfit that shows non challance could rightly be well interpreted. Moreso, it depends on the kind of job she went for, perhaps morals and culture was important.

why is she dressing like a prostitute on a job interview

Bigredmachine:
What has a leg chain got to do with the job, was the question... Now the answer is... What is the work of the leg chain on the leg...

I have come to a conclusion that many people don't have any tangible reasons as to why they do some certain things in this life, because u see other people do it, u too just want to do it...

If for example my friend who is a musician tints his hair, pierce his ear and draws tattoo on his body (just to promote his hustle) and because it looks good on him, then me an aspiring banker or a medical doctor should i now go and do same, just because it looks good... Anyway I digress

This empty skull headed girl, would see it as normal and something accepted by the general public...

Am happy she did not get the Job... Cause her appearance has already showed she's irresponsible...

Uncle, calm down she will not do something stupid again.

I made no sense to you because you were either not comprehending properly or chose to argue over nothing which is not my fault!

slimghost:

Lol
You just argue for nothing just to convince yourself that you are trying to make a point!
You have worked in 3 or four companies doesn't suggest that every other company uses those permissible policies on dress code!
If you had perused properly my earlier comments,I said every company is different with what is permissible or allowed based on the kind of clients the employee will engage or the way and manner they want their employee to look like!
I also know of banks and manufacturing companies where the employee is on a strict dress code or attire!
If the employee doesn't fit in due to their personal preference for a particular attire or dressing,the person has an option to quit instead of protesting like you as if you are the owner of the company!

slimghost:

If the particular company is against ankle chains, the professional thing to do is give her the handbook or ethic books that contains their dress code.

Look at this one? What a hapless joker!
So the company will come and tell you their dress code or attire when they have other prospective employees that are well dressed,ready and well informed about the company's dress code?
You should have also asked them that you would like to choose the kind of questions they are suppose to ask you during a job interview because na your parents get the company!

slimghost:

As long as she is not yet your staff, it is moronic to lose a talent because of ankle chain.

No matter your talent or skills,personality and dress code comes first before others are even considered....thats the policy of the company!
You may not like it...thats fine...no one put a gun to your head to dress how they want....thats why you can go and try out with other companies who will accept you wearing anything you like!
Its that simple!

slimghost:

I asked you a simple question, what is wrong with an ankle chain and how is it different from wrist chains?.

I don't even care because I don't wear them!
However,thats not the issue here so let's not deviate!
The bone of contention is that the company says they do not permit leg chain....if your company allows such,you can get her and ask your company to employ her!
Very simple!
Finding the difference is irrelevant with respect to the topic!

slimghost:

You people need a lot of exposure in life.

Don't pour your frustration at me!
I am not the owner of the company or the department head that is in charge of dress codes in company!
Direct your grievances to the right quarters!
Very simple!

Minimise your jewelry when going for a job interview.

Uncle, calm down she will not do something stupid again.

Wetin concern me, nah only grumble I fit grumble... I can't go and beat her, neither can I go and pull up the tros of any guy I see on the street sagging (when I never ready to collect wotowoto )

My actual point is that we see all these things, and we all know that they are not totally acceptable by the society... But why do we keep doing them (deceiving ourselves that it does not concern the outside world

To a large extent anyone is free to wear what he or she desires, but her mistake was that she thinks everyone likes it...

Take Ronaldo for example he loves earrings, but u will never see him on an official match putting them on, or in a balloon d or ceremony, he only puts them on during his time at home or training...

We are all humans with brains, but sorry to say a good number of Nigerians especially the youths have no functioning brains...

What will u say of a lady that left her house with a big polo and only pants on, which u will never see, or a girl wearing a short polo that doesn't cover her abdomen...

Let me rest my case here first...

BRATISLAVA:


Airsaylongcome

Hehehehehehe....let me jump and

These are missiles shot from a catapult. Very deadly to intervene

Bigredmachine:


I know they are not special but... There are things accepted by the society and community ... These norms and value have been there before we were born, so why would anyone thinks he or she can just change it over night...

There are ways a musicians dresses and the society okays it, so also there are ways one should dress to other places like offices

Please understand things carefully before u quote

And there are people who successfully push the boundaries of what is acceptable allowing for new things to become acceptable. Back in the day people made the same kind of comments about wigs, make up and tros for women. Today all of that so-called norm is shattered. Women now wear shorts and Agbada, wear wonderful make up colours and wear wigs in all shapes and forms. The world did not end.

Is it a must to put leg chain?
Abegi

Maxwelloau:

I don't think anything is wrong with the organization. In this part of the world, the way you dress has a link on how you will be address, moreso it was a formal gathering, job interview. No matter the civilization we try to copy and level of moral decadence in the society, certain values and etiquettes should not be eroded. This is Africa and indeed NIGERIA !

25years ago a lady could not wear make up.for an interview. Or even wear tros or a wig to a job interview. Today it would be madness to say you won't hire a lady because she wears make up. Leg chains have absolutely NO BEARING on one's competence. NONE

That leg chain she put on to the job interview only shows she does not need the job and came to show off. Because if you need that job, she of all people suppose to know that she will meet lots of enlighten people to there with different perspectives and reactions to how she dressed. It serves her right now, next time she will use her senses if truly she needs a job.

I have a problem about our fundamental approach to issues of this nature in this country.

I think it is only convenient to judge the applicant's appearance based on what we perceive as "set rules" by the corporate organization, which everyone seeking to in dare not flout!

Unfortunately, in the same vein of following supposed strict corporate cultures do we find a weak link, where our emotions seem to swing the other way round if a religious attire were the case!

Let me be clear:
If the argument had been an applicant denied a job because she had attended a job interview wearing hijab, perhaps most of those who condemned the leg-chained applicant here would have stood in defense of the niqobite!

So, our rule of convenience is the crux of confusion here! The point is, if one appearing in a religious outfit 'must' be accommodated... Why not the one in an irreligious apparel?

By and large we all are either deliberate rule-breakers with an equally deliberate intent to get a legitimacy for deviance, or we just don't know what rule to follow to the letter!

I think excessive foreign influence (western and oriental) will eventually be the bane of confusion and chaos in Africa.

There is nothing one has with the other. It's just myopia of the employers nothing more.
I know doctors and nurses that wear ornaments all over their bodies among other things.
Those things doesn't affect the competence of that person. We Nigerians should pls stop that hypocrisy

mexyk:
If this is true, then the employers have something fundamentally wrong with them. When did leg chain become a sign of irresponsibility or an indication of professional incompetence? This is simply social intolerance and backwardness.

like seriously ur sense of reasoning baffles me, for crying out loud company have rules and regulations and self conduct. How can a reasonable lady dress finish for an interview and put on a leg chain? No well functioning company will accept that. To this generation we take everything as fashion and exposure, and that is why the society we live in has decayed beyond repair. Leg chain use to be a symbol giving to a woman who is married, but she is allow to have extra marital affairs, but nowadays we see it as a fashion

Angelfrost:


Okay... I now understand your personal distaste. But, that doesn't make their choice of dressing wrong.

That we dislike certain dress codes doesn't make them wrong... Let's keep things in proper perspective.

I personally don't fancy excessive body adornments, especially in formal work settings. But, there is a thin line between distaste and insensitivity or abusing a person's rights.

As long as a person's dressing or adornments don't interfere with his or her job delivery, or doesn't negate the company's principles, then it should be overlooked.

Loooooool. You're very funny. You want to determine how you would dress to work.

The bolded statement

N2B2:


C'mon keep quiet! What do you know? Queen Elizabeth wears an anklet. Are you as important as a grain of sand underneath her shoe?

Many companies are looking for efficient and productive professionals who will enhance and scale their business. Whether these professionals wear anklets, necklaces, or even underwear is none of their damn business, so long as they get their job done.

You're here shiuting as if it's a good thing for the uneducated to be unpleasantly loud. What a pity.

Cry cry baby. Do you own any business outfit? If you do, please reach out to the rejected educated anklet wearer, and make her your manager.

The world is a garbage bin today because of stray people like you. We will never leave the society in your shabby care. We are here to trim your excesses. Deal with it!

What is the gain of wearing leg chain, drawing tattoo? To me; is dirty ingredients and it against the law of irresponsible

Lol that life she should have known better

Hopefully, you didn't miss the part where I said "doesn't go against the company's principles"!

Every company ought to have standards with regards to things like dressing... If not clearly stated, then why blame any staff member.

Some people are naturally different it's not because they wish to challenge society, but they cannot always or easily change their nature let's be more tolerant of variety of human nature.

Twoclans:

Leg chain is something I wear occasionally and the last time I checked I dont think I can be considered the worst of human beings currently on earth.

The problem with Nigeria is that we are too religious yet very wicked at heart and to our fellow human beings .

Munzy dear dont worry I wont wear leg chain to your house I will only wear jigida.

Hehehehe...you know I am not the religious fanatics type...I no just like the beads and Chain thing...

My local government no get arousal at the sight of waist bead...
As for leg chain, it is the impression that i don't like..People see you as wayward...Even when you aren't.

Their is a crazy babe in every decent lady, just like we have decency in any crazy babe..

No be only jigida kuku wear those native doctors bell...And use chalk to paint one eye na

Naturalism would be us all walking around naked as God made us. So again that doesn’t really come into judging someone by their looks.

Artificial lifestyle is living doing something that isn’t natural to us as humans. And that can be interpreted in many ways.

Physical outfit is different from wearing accessories, my parents wear native clothing, they get laughed at on the streets back in the 80s, is that a natural thing to do? Nope it’s ignorance and lack of respect to others.

My an accessories as a leg bracelet triggers some then I feel sorry for us, there are more pressing issues than that.

But I agree with you though in regards to a dress code and the sort of job she would going for. Anyways great debate, whether we agree or disagree.
