My secretary has just got a tattoo on her arm. It is of a flower, but it is completely visible. Should I fire her?
It is against company policy, and looks tacky. She said she got it because all of her girl friends got one, and it holds special meaning for her.
But she knows that we have a strict dress code that includes hairstyle, piercings and tattoos. By all rights, I am within my power to let her go. But, I think that is really harsh. I just think that she fell under a spell of peer pressure and forgot that she has an image to maintain at work. Afterall, that is part of the reason why she was hired.
I am toying around with the idea of changing her job position to something not so visible. That way I can still keep her, and she can still earn money, and keep her tattoo. However, she will not like the options. The only positions that I have that allows an employee not to follow the dress code is the Cleaning Lady, and the dock-workers. I don't think that she'll make a good "loading girl", so housekeeper it is.
How can I address this issue in a positive light to her, or should I just go by the book and fire her?

12 AnswersLaw & Ethics4 years agoWhat is the best social media platform? Is it facebook, pinterest, tumblr, QQ, WeChat, or something else? I am getting tired of Facebook.?
After the Wikileaks vault 7 news, I am truly frightened about my Facebook account. It just doesn't seem worth it. Are there other social media that I can use that is as convenient as Facebook? Or, is Facebook so well known that all the other social media is just a waste of time?
2 AnswersFacebook4 years agoWhat is the best breed of cat? I like the look and temperament of a Maine coon, the love of a black and white cat. What about other cats?
Seriously, I would just accept a cat as it is, but there are some rarer cats that I have heard are simply awesome. Like an Egyptian mau, or a "rag doll", or a Siamese or Burmese. Any ideas on what kind of breed is just awesome?

15 AnswersCats4 years agoWould an elephant make a good pet? I think that they might, Maybe you can tie it to a tree in the backyard.?
I have heard that some animals make great pets. There are rabbits and parrots that are pretty cool. There are also more unusual animals like a donkey and a deer that are supposedly also good as a pet. Now, I know that an elephant can get to be a little large, but I understand that they are smart, kind, and can understand English. Heck, I even saw on the TV that some can paint, like music and can work an iPhone. Would they make a great pet?

2 AnswersFantasy Sports4 years agoShould families have formal sit down meals at dinner time, or should everyone be allowed to grab a bite and eat in front of the TV, PC?
When I grew up, my father insisted on large formal meals were we all sat down to a dinner. We said grace, then ate. During dinner we talked about our day. Once dinner was through, we would eat ice cream and have coffee.
But today, it seems like all of my friends just grab a bite. There is no attention to the family. I once visited a cousin, and almost everyone was playing games on their cell phones between bites of food. Hardly no one talked.
Is this ok?

12 AnswersPolls & Surveys4 years agoWhy do the Chinese celebrate Christmas?
Here in Zhuhai, there are Christmas trees in all the stores and offices. Everyone is saying "Merry Christmas" to each other, and Christmas carols and songs are on all the stations. My friends all are going to do something special for the holiday, like getting a massage, going to a hot spring, maybe do some singing at a KTV. Yet, last time when I was back in the States, most people were afraid to say "Merry Christmas". Instead they timidly said "Happy Holidays". Why is China so brazenly pro Christmas, and America so timid about it. Why has this changed from the time when I was a boy growing up in the NorthEast?
