    I saw a female cow-orker (not one I know) wearing a white shirt that wasn't so much translucent as transparent with a flesh colored undershirt. That's appropriate for going clubbing, not working in the office. This person appeared closer to 55 than 25 and doesn't have the young and stupid excuse for not knowing better. X| :sigh:

    no issue with me ... If you feel it is inappropriate, report it to the management.

      I go to office to do my work. I don't want to see girls wearing see-through shirts there. There's simply no excuse for such slimy behaviour, and they should know that there's a time and place for everything. They're (the young ones are) welcome to take my phone number and call me later in the evening, but they shouldn't bother while I work. My code generates enough runtime errors as it is. :laugh: The fact that it was an old cow makes it even worse. X|

      It was "transparent with a flesh colored undershirt." Is that the same as being see-through?

        I don't care if it's the same or not. There's simply no need to wear inappropriate dress to work.

          Then she needs to grow the fuck up. What kind of girls wear transparent dress to work anyways? If transparent dresses with their bosoms revealed are accepted at work, I think there's a name for that work, and for those women.

          Same rules, yes. I said that as well very clearly. But the fact that it's an old fart makes it worse. It does. I don't ever want to be in Dan's place.

                              Could it be that she did not have other shirts to wear? Or she was not so organized but just grabbed anything available in the morning?

                                Good point. Seems like something that would only be a problem (to some) if it were a continual issue.

                                    I don't care if it's the same or not. There's simply no need to wear inappropriate dress to work.

                                    I fail to see the inappropriateness.

                                      I saw a female cow-orker (not one I know) wearing a white shirt that wasn't so much translucent as transparent with a flesh colored undershirt. That's appropriate for going clubbing, not working in the office. This person appeared closer to 55 than 25 and doesn't have the young and stupid excuse for not knowing better. X| :sigh:

                                      It may her manager is envisaging a modeling agency as their parallel career.

                                        Well, that's unfortunate. :^)

                                          Well formal wear at work often only applies to men. Women usually end up wearing smart casuals.

                                          Very true, but just do not know why rules are only applied to men.
