Guess she could have had KBR stitched in the scarf, nope, even that no longer suffices now.

Sad that the claim to be an EEOC employer until you start working and then see that they are an equal opportunity buddy protector company.

Ms Sparky’s Response:
It is clearly not equal opportunity for women, or for anyone who has professional integrity.

what, no lanyard?

Ms Sparky’s Response:
We don’t know about that yet. She was only there one day. She probably didn’t even have time to get one.

Just read the KBR weekly. It said people were happy with KBR and know the policies. Who answered the questionaire must have been mgt. and / or on drugs.

Ms Sparky’s Response:
Who are they asking? KBR lifers? Former LOGCAP II Employees? The top 10? KBR employees wouldn’t dare tell KBR anything other than what they want to hear. I would have to say their questionnaire if flawed.

I read the complaint and it reminded me of the Trans. Supvr. @ T.Q. who followed me one morning on my way to breakfast, as soon as I stepped off the bus he pulled up and asked me where I thought I was going “wearing those shorts?”.
This person had nothing better to do than waste his/my time over something so that he could show me who was boss.
Likewise, with this poor lady’s situation, the person who told her she couldn’t wear her traditional head dress, should see what it’s like to be told he can’t do something that he takes for granted and is a legal right – like being fired for saying something – anything – - freedom of speech. Too many people with KBR act like they are on the same footing as a little dictator.
I have met some truly wonderful people while I was in Iraq/Kuwait/Dubai, BUT !!! I have met so of the scum of the earth there too!!! Nough Said.
Hope the Lady WINS

Ms Sparky’s Response:
I guess the rules are fluid and flexible depending on who is enforcing them and who they are being enforced on. I hope she wins as well.
