Today I was the victim of gender discrimination at work.

As pretty much everyone who knows me should know, I have long hair. And Oh Em Gee I am a *guy.*

Now the hospital dress code technically requires that hair longer than the collar must be worn back. Many of the nurses and other employees flout this rule constantly, and observing them getting away with it, I did the same, in expectation of... well, exactly what happened.

True to expectations, of all the people here who ignore the rule, who do the higher-ups in the administration inform my director to talk to about?

Everyone spread the word: UPMC Shadyside discriminates againts its employees based on gender.

It may be trivial, but it isn't a joke.

What, would you have to stay there longer or something? Because you know me, if you really want to do this, I'd support you.

It would involve spending a hell of a lot of energy to make people care about something trivial -- and it would probably jeopardize any references I wanted to get from here. The latter is more important, because I need good references.
