Citibank fired employee for being too hot…or something

Debrahlee Lorenzana is filing a lawsuit against Citibank because they fired her, she says, for the strangest reason: she’s too hot. She’s 5’5”, 125 and well, you’ve seen her photo. "Where I’m from," she told the Village Voice, "women dress up—like put on makeup and do their nails—to go to the supermarket… I was raised very Latin. We’re feminine. A woman in Puerto Rico takes care of herself." Her bosses told her that "as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly ‘too distracting’ for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear," she says. [Her two male] managers gave her a list of clothing items she would not be allowed to wear: turtlenecks, pencil skirts, and fitted suits. And three-inch heels. [Business Insider]

Leave it to Citibank. I work at a bank too. Of course the bank that I work at is one – how should I put this? – doesn’t need to worry about this issue.
