I think this is appropriate here!
‘I am a self-expressive person and I feel very confident with pink hair so I came up with a solution to keep the job and my hair’
“They think this is better?”
Yes, they actually do. They’re probably conservative dickheads. They know that pink hair is code for “I am a tolerant and kind person; I might be gay but not necessarily; I support counterculture ideas.”
They hate the counterculture ideas. They don’t hate the color pink. Covering it up with a terrible wig makes it about something else.
Or anyway, so they think. What they’ve actually done is given her an opportunity to start conversations about the pink hair.
Keen insight. I wouldn’t have known she exists otherwise.
Hah! It doesn’t even take that. All you need is a middle-management who doesn’t support the rights of their workforce, is inconvenienced should a customer gin up complaints about OP’s hair-color (whatever it is), and is generally just lazy and indifferent, learning from upper mgmt that growth & profits are 99% the things that count, followed by limiting liability situations. The workers themselves are just an inconvenient expense in the equation.
