No, I don't feel pressured to compliment anybody at work for a new hairstyle and/or anything for that matter. If I come in with a new look; I don't expect others to compliment me but it's always nice to hear some remarks.
Brian Damage 04-20-2006, 10:45 AM Well, it is the polite thing to do. However, if I think it is a look that is bad for that person, it makes it very difficult to say something positive.
~LadyJess~ 04-20-2006, 11:50 AM I don't feel the need to compliment but, like you did Soloman, at least say something so you acknowledge it, if it's good or bad. I think just saying nothing at all makes you come off as self-centered so I always say something.

No, if it's not a good look, I just don't say anything.
Janice 04-20-2006, 12:38 PM That's a tough one. If you say you like the terrible hairstyle, she may continue to keep it that way. I guess I'd just say something cheery like, "Someone's got a new Spring hairstyle."
I don't offer my opinion unless I'm asked. I am honest when I give an opinion though.

I hate when someone compliments me on a new haircut-lol I be like-"can't I just come to work and not hear-"wow sol your cut is looking good"
Brieannas21 04-20-2006, 01:33 PM No, I never feel pressured, If it looks bad I just don't say anything.
Michael [hXc] 04-20-2006, 01:37 PM there's this girl in my classes at school who wears her hair a bunch of different ways, and she changes her clothes style too. she likes to reinvent herself but every time she does, everyone says "wow your hair looks so good!" or "that's a great look for you" even though i'm sure a lot of people don't mean it. i don't say anything unless i'm asked but nobody i know asks that kind of thing. :lol:
swedeace 04-20-2006, 05:38 PM No, I don't feel pressured to compliment anyone.
I am not being mean or anything, but I don't normally compliment people on changed appearances unless it's a huge change or something in clothes or accessories. Not just hairdos. It's just not really me.
I know that my supervisor does get a little hurt when I don't say anything whenever he gets a haircut. My other co-workers usually do, but he gets hurt. He then says in front of some of my co-workers, "She doesn't really say anything about my haircut." He said it recently about a month ago, and I straight-out told him, "I noticed, but I don't usually compliment too much on hairdos." I just say it like it is. I am not being mean. It's just part of my personality.

Sounds like he has a crush on you-lol
James"Thunder"Early 04-20-2006, 06:50 PM I don't feel pressured. When I'm asked I don't want to say anything rude, so I might say "I've never seen anything like it before".
EmoJoe 04-20-2006, 06:52 PM no :lol: if they ask me then i might say something nice.
Janice 04-20-2006, 07:56 PM I hate when someone compliments me on a new haircut-lol I be like-"can't I just come to work and not hear-"wow sol your cut is looking good"
I would only consider commenting if it was a completely new look. If someone strolled in with just a haircut, I wouldn't say anything.

Nah. All of us in the tech office get along fairly well, and my boss is like a big softy and sometimes gets sensitive. When someone doesn't compliment him on something important to him, he gets touchy about it.
