Full beard on 1st day -- What's my chance of getting kicked out?

There ought to be a word for the effect of seeing someone's avatar enough times that you start to think that they actually look like that I am entirely netural on facial hair, but it does seem to affect some people's views. There exist people who'd never comment or act on the skin colour of a person who for whatever reason form quite strong views based upon beards, moustaches, etc.

In some societies beard is a sign of mourning, but in this case you have to match it with a black necktie

I am not sure about beards or moustaches, but definitely cut off those dreadlocks ...

If you find out, let me know. Oh actually, I normally look a lot like me avatar. I went to the office a few days ago to sign some paperwork and that got me thinking that it may be a smart idea to get back to this pre-interview morning routine. The HR people never saw me before and maybe they expected the in-the-middle-of-the-crisis-hire to look a bit different. Haha.

Some keep their beards even after the first day while others still have to wait.
