    It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that patients shouldn't be left wondering "What's THAT?" when they're talking to you, so I'd suggest you ask your partner to stay off the visible bits?

    I think your boss is spot on!
    In a public facing job, it is not nice to have to look at. You should have a little bit of respect.

    The best thing to do is get a bit of class!
    Let's be honest, there isn't much that's more common.
  • all I have to say is - CHAV.

    It doesn't exactly scream professionalism

    I know your're a man, but can't you cover them up with make-up? Ask the lady who gave it to you to help you in this respect.

    I have to agree with what everyone else has said. in any job if you see a love bite on someones neck you know what theyve been up to (not saying you are not allowed to have nooky) and its not very nice to look at, love bites stop at age 15 in my poinion.
    All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

    I agree with your employer - its not nice to look at and is unprofessional in a forward facing job where you are interacting with patients on a daily basis. Buy some concealer or ask your girlfriend to stop sucking and biting - love bites are what you get and give when you are 15 but not when you are an adult.
  • Ugh how gross - I agree with everyone else. Of course it's fair of them to say that. Where's your self respect and professionalism?

    Another one agreeing with your employer. This kind of thing usually stops during the early teens. If you worked in a factory and didn't see the public maybe you could get away with it but even then it still doesn't look professional.

    not realise that its considered very immature

  • :rotfl:Surely this is a troll?! It can't possibly be a serious question! Anyone with enough common sense to hold down a job must surely know this wouldn't be acceptable in the workplace?
