Do I need to cover my scars for work?
I haven’t cut myself in almost three years, and all my scars have faded from pink to silver. I haven’t covered my scars since I was 16 until recently since I got my first job in retail, where I covered them for my orientation so they wouldn’t get any biases against me, but I’ve continued to cover them since.
I’m afraid that if I stop covering them then someone might tell me I have to, which I will not know how to react to that since this is my first job and I don’t know what I’d be supposed to do. I’m sure that’s probably not allowed to enforce a different dress code specifically for me, but idk how I would resist that.
I really hate covering them, I’m not ashamed of them and keeping my scars hidden under uncomfortable layers makes me feel like that sad teenager again.
I’ll probably be deleting this post within a few days so I can block the subreddit and not be reminded of this stuff.
