It can be difficult to know what to wear to work when your company doesn't have a dress code, however, "clean and pressed" seems pretty straightforward. June Rivas seemed capable of following those rules, but was being constantly reprimanded for her attire.

In particular, Rivas' boss took offense to her wearing her hair in a ponytail. So, instead of a ponytail, Rivas covered her hair with a scarf, to which her boss also took offense. Other than her hair, Rivas looked clean and professional, wearing blouses, matching suits and heels to work.

Rivas filed a harassment complaint with her company's HR department. Her boss then sent out a memo that stated a new dress code that bans " [visible bra] straps, hats, sandals, cleavage, back out, lace, and even...cultural head wraps."


quote:

Rivas reported her boss to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, but while they investigate, she intends to comply with her boss's demands, and it just so happens she has the perfect wardrobe thanks to her love of cosplay.

The instant she actually fricks up with something work related, she is out the door. Dumbass.

I think this has been beaten to death on the OT. I am sure the boss is a bitch and this chick is funny BUT...

When you take the King's gold you do the King's bidding.

I am sure when they dump her arse out the door she will go crying on FB.

She just made her life much harder than it has to be by being a whiny little bitch. Fire her arse for being childish.

Except she followed them. There was nothing in the rules about no ponytails. She even tried to remedy that.

After she filed a complaint with human resources and even the EEOC? I think not. And less they really want to have to pay her extra money And fines

She is probably referring to the head dress or as the boss called it cultural headdresses or head wraps or whatever those are called.

Feel like a lot of posters are commenting without reading. Boss is a bitch....I support her attire.
