inappropriate office attire
-
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:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

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.

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

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

Are we feeling a bit...... SUPERIOR? As long as people aren't actually flashing their junk in my food, I don't care what they do/don't wear to the office.

We have a dress code at work. No inappropriate messages on T-Shirts. No visible Cleavage. No bra straps hanging out, etc. Very conservative. It doesn't sound like this lady violated anything. Maybe it was your imagination that got the better of you. You couldn't see her nickles, could you? BTW - Why can't us older folks enjoy a little good-looking gals. It's the really young, hot ones I don't want to go parading around. (NOT) :-O

I didn't see that lady, so I can't say it for sure. However, it has bothered someone enough to come to the lounge and rant about. That makes me think that it was rather slimy.

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|

Doesn't matter what you want or any of her peers. It only matters whether the managers like it. Dumb, pretty, and cleavage trumps smart, reliable and experienced just about every time.

I think you speak with forked tongue. That must make you popular when you get right down to it.

I think I would want to see it first before making a conclusive statement. Let's hope he posts pictures!

Probably the most inappropriate thing here is the ageism and sexism in the comments! Gee can't believe I'm being PC...... The argument goes if you don't like don't look...... If the office doesn't haven't a code then what she wears is fine, although I suspect the office will have at least an unwritten code. If offended mention to the manager, although weighup whether your co-workers will appreciate the removal of the distraction!
