I work at Amazon – I was ‘dress-coded’ and sent home but I never broke any rules, although some agree with my manager
AN AMAZON employee has shared that their lengthy nails got them dress-coded at work, with their manager telling them to take off their nails or go home.
While the nail lover claims they didn’t violate company policies, some spectators are on the manager’s side.
“Amazon manager came up to me and told me I needed to take off my nails or I needed to go home so I went to HR,” the Amazon worker, who goes by @dickynailedyou_ on social media, wrote in their TikTok video.
In the clip, they sported ultra-long light blue and white ombre nails.
“MANAGER said SAFETY violation… HR lady said DRESS-CODE VIOLATION…” they added in the caption.
While Amazon’s dress code mentions wearing safety gloves to protect the hands from injury during a shift, it doesn’t seem to cover nail length.

A couple of viewers in the comments section of the video said they saw where the employee’s manager was coming from, with many citing safety as a reason to keep the nails short.
“I get that you are probably used to them and can work just fine with them, but they are worried you will get hurt,” one person wrote.
“Well, I think it is a safety violation,” a second person mirrored that sentiment.
“One nail in a package and they can get sued. They’re a liability issue. But there are definitely other jobs out there that let you have nails that long,” a third person chimed in.
A fourth person questioned: “If you already knew the rules then why try [to] break them anyways?”
To which the nail enthusiast responded: “Umm girl [there] ain’t no policy about nails. No one was breaking sh*t around here.”
Some viewers didn’t understand management’s stance, like one person who wrote: “This gotta be the goofiest thing I’ve seen yet.”
“Lmaooo everyone that’s saying there is a policy but there isn’t. I was told if you can work with it you can wear it,” an additional spectator added.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Amazon for comment but has yet to hear back.
