Clearly there was WAY more going on in that office than what they are telling.
Well, she will get no sympathy from a female juror, lol... women are not receptive to other women tooting their own horns. She is a pretty young woman who no doubt wore form fitting clothing, and spiked heels all to her own detriment in the business world. I am sure she was warned numerous times, but seems to have considered it her Puerto Rican birthright to dress like she is going to a party when, in fact she was going to work- in a bank no less, where I think conservative attire is demanded. Maybe she will get on a reality tv show. lol
Citibank is entirely wrong on this. They should have an affirmative action program for hot women. It would improve morale. };>)
I don’t see the problem. Just employ the Hillary Clinton wardrobe and watch all those radar stations stand down.
I have only two words to say:
Mein Gott!!!
She should sue them because all they had to do was transfer her to where all gay males worked, not a problem for most banks.
I’d hit it.
Guilty—in the sense that yes, she is beautiful(she may not be quite to your taste, but she would appeal very strongly to many men) and she is not dressing in a businesslike way suitable for a bank.
Clothes send a message. If you’re wearing clothes that say, “I’m a team player, I subscribe to the goals of this organization, I want to get ahead here, and I’m ready to work,” you’re not going to get fired no matter how sexy you are. But this girl is sending a message saying, “I’m more interested in being pretty and being attractive to men than I am in advancing my career with Citibank,” so evidently her career at Citibank did not advance.
You would think someone who looks like that would draw customers to the bank.
Poor thing.
I feel so sorry for her.
I wonder if she needs a place to stay while she’s out of work? I feel generous.
Speaking from experience, this is exactly the way old-school financial company managers think. Although usually, they just refuse to hire the "hot" woman in the first place.
Should go to the PR ping list.
If Citibank received TARP funds and haven’t paid all of it back yet, they should NOT be allowed to hire someone this HOT looking. The thought of my tax dollars being used to defend a major corporation against a sexual harassment charge is just not right. I’m sure she has no problem being looked at and talked to by the “right people”, but as soon as someone who doesn’t fit her qualifications of a “right person” approaches her, look out!
My verdict...Guilty as charged! (besides, the slide show on the village voice website is infected with something my Norton virus protection does not like at all...)
It is hard to work with such women. It’s hard because it’s hard, nuf said.
She could tone it down — she should tone it down — still look beautiful and stylish with appropriate clothing choices.
If the workplace demanded that of her, that’s a reasonable request and if she failed to follow through — they were right to let her go.
Geez...another in a long line of self-absorbed ‘look at me’ northeast bimbos...there’s lots more of them hanging around 42nd Street.
Could be she went to work in mini-skirts with her boobs hanging out and that's OK for Hooters, not a bank.
Probably that is the real story.
I’m fascinated by the fact that NO ONE, not even the article, mentions anything about the quality of her work. If her work was exemplary, I don’t believe an issue would have been made about her appearance. Many ‘hotties’ get by only on their appearance and not on what they commercially produce.
Sorry hun, you’re not that hot.
