Seriously? This is messed up!

Recently a friend of mine, shaved her head as a donation to Lord Muruga because her prayers for her mom's health to improve came true. I really wanted to be there to support her but unfortunately I had soo many other things to do at about the same time.

The next day was a working day and as usual she went to work. At about lunch time she called me, and sounded very angry. I became worried and after asking a few times, she finally explained what had happened. It seems her boss had told her off for going to work with her head shaved bald and leaving it uncovered during work. He told her to start wearing a scarf over her head the next day onwards or risk losing her job.

But what angered my friend more was the fact that there were 2 other male co-workers who have always had clean shaven heads. And the boss had never told them to start growing hair or somehow cover up their head as well. This  is definitely unfair and unjust towards my friend. As much as she did not want to give in, but she really needed the job so from then on she went to work with a scarf until her hair grew back. What an unfair system Maybank practices!
