Hourglass figure gets woman fired
June 7th, 2010
Debralee Lorenzana is filing suit against Citibank for firing her. Grounds: She’s too good looking.
A 33-year old woman with a good looking figure: 5′6, 125 pounds and 32DD, got fired from her job at a Citibank branch in NY City for looking too alluring in the office. Maureen Dowd’s column in the NY Times gives the deets.

The woman appears to have an ironclad case, but that doesn’t dismiss the fact that many women show too much skin, read cleavage, in the workplace. Style Matters gives seminars on building a business casual wardrobe on a budget, and we are often called in to consult with women on how to dress more professionally. Tight slacks, low-cut tops, and exposed “muffin tops” have no place in the workplace and can adversely affect salary raises and promotions.
