Seems like in every office environment, there’s one just like this chick who tries to ruin it for everyone else. That gal’s former coworkers are lucky they work for a small, local company - not a politiacally correct megabusiness with a mealy-mouthed human resources department hellbent on justifying its existance.

I worked for one of the latter. Instead of taking on the slutty dresser directly, the departmental casual dress policy got banned in favor of “more business-appropriate attire.” Everbody in the place had to replace their wardrobe. The problem worker, too: more costly skanky blouses, of course.

Doesn’t matter what line of fabrics this Native Intimates was selling. Office work calls for office attire. I feel sorry for them, tho. The tactless female manager was probably more blunt than a male would have been, and the business may throw her under the bus to save itself. Pity, that.

She works in a lingerie store and they want her to tape her breasts down? If Victoria’s Secret had their sales gals dressed in their product there’d be even MORE men in there snooping around and feeling embarrassed not to buy something.

Well, DUH!

Move her from data entry to sales, fast. I guarantee the sales manager will welcome her.

"When I first started working there, I asked what the dress code was, and I was just told to look around and see what everyone else was wearing,"

If this is true, then she still needed to see the written policy.

Also, it seems that she was repeatedly warned about her attire. There should be a written dress code and if there is not, she is going to win. If there is, it was her responsibility to follow it and she should lose.

She was not, as she said, fired for being too sexy, she was fired for dress code violations. She just feels to sexy for her job.

Not bad looking but kinda sounds like a "gold ring in a pig's snout." What is is inside negates what is on the outside.
