No Pants, No Job!

Our call center has a posted, albeit relaxed dress code. We are encouraged to wear “business casual” attire during the week, although we are allowed T-shirts. One girl has decided to come in wearing a button-up shirt called “a boyfriend shirt.” It is essentially an oversized button-up shirt with a cinched waist. She also has neglected to wear pants with it, claiming it’s actually a dress, despite the fact that it barely covers her butt and exposes her underwear on the side when she sits.

After getting numerous complaints, our site director insists that she put on pants or go home. She comes back with bicycle shorts under the dress… until about six pm when the managers leave, at which time she takes them off. I can’t say for sure if she is fired or quits, but the next day she is arguing with management in the office and she’s gone by week’s end.
