‘At Will Employment’ states have been rumored to allow some ‘gray’ incidents occur in regards to the legal reasons that an employer may be allowed to terminate an employee. In ‘At Will’ states, nearly anything goes, but here’s a new one. How about being fired for being too sexy?
Debrahlee Lorenzana is suing Citibank after being terminated from her position with the company for allegedly dressing too sexy for male colleagues to handle. Lorenzana claims that whenever she tried to wear turtleneck shirts, pencil skirts, or tight pants, that she was told she could no longer wear the items because they were simply too distracting for male co-workers.
The 5’5″, 125 lb. former bank employee was given an outline of clothing that would be acceptable for her to wear, separate from the already in place dress code that other employees were expected to follow. Shortly after taking the matter tot he attention of Citibank’s human resources department citing that other female employees were similar clothing, she was fired.
Now as an employee of Chase Morgan, her current job position has been threatened for remarks that she has made to the media regarding her sexual discrimination lawsuit against Citibank.
“I have to say something,” she said. “Enough is enough.”
