Get a doctor's note saying you have a problem with skin irritation and ingrown hairs if you have to shave.
This is what a lot of my military friends are doing, although they do actually get serious skin irritation if they shave.
I do too.. I haven't shaved since October..
But I've had IT jobs in the past where I had to. My face always stayed red from the irritation.
I trim my beard down, but VERY rarely go clean shaven as I look about 15 afterwards...using an old school safety razor has reduced the inflammation etc I used to get though...
My wife bought me a butterfly razor two years ago for Christmas. Best shave I've ever had.
I use a butterfly razor also. My wife got me a straight razor for Christmas. I tried it once and I got scared so I haven't really used it yet haha.
Go slow and have a styptic pencil and bandaids handy. Oh and it helps if you avoid the white towels, your wife will thank you.

You gotta follow dumb policies or find a better company to work for,
We don't have policies like that or hardly any dress code either!
Agreed, that's a terrible thing for a workplace to care about. It means they can't figure out how to manage to make rules to cover up that they are not managing.

Which country is that? I've never heard of beards being banned.
Welcome to America. Lots of companies do that in the US. Famously... Disney. One of the many reasons they are considered a joke and I know of no one outside of minimum wage workers who will even return their calls. It's widely famous for being one of the worst employers both in being horrible to work for as well as being full of incompetence.
That said, very happy with Disney trying to protect people against recent state wide discrimination.

I thought it was the land of the free? You have the right to bear arms but not the right to have facial hair?

They think they are...They are currently ranked 11th in terms of economic Freedom...and overall freedom is normally around the 7th mark for them...New Zealand is the "free"-est country overall IIRC

Give them their guns and they'll let you do whatever you want, because many believe guns protect them from the government, much like the massive gun ownership in Iraq helped protect all the citizens from Saddam Hussein's reign of terror.

This is easy. Start going to a Sikh temple and tell them that your beard is a part of your religion. Argument over.

I've had many places I've worked do that.. not here but Government did.

Unless you told them that at the time of hiring they don't have to make an exception.

I haven't seen that in any of the documentation for any company I've ever worked for but yeah I guess that's true.

It worked at the small, strict private school I attended.

That was one of my suggestions, except you don't even have to go to the temple, who is going to check? And hey, I said the same thing and you got two points and I got one? It's just a damn popularity contest with you people!
