I thought EDS was a GM company ?

Or was that another phase of its history.

I applied to EDS once for a job in Milton Keynes. I had a beard then
(as I do now). They told me if I accepted any job offer I must always
be clean shaven. They did not offer me a job; and I'd have rejected
them had they done so.

I'd be tempted to do the same and/or take them to court as infringing
my individual rights, just like any other predjudice against a
minority group.

Do any employers still have these ridiculous ''standards'' in todays
PC society ?
