Employee Asks Her Co-Worker Why She Keeps Wearing Clothes That Are Too Revealing, Gets In Trouble

Work attire must be appropriate.

Dressing appropriately for work is critical for making a positive impression and projecting professionalism. The proper attire can also boost confidence and make you feel ready to face the day. However, the definition of “appropriate” varies according to workplace culture and industry. Some places allow shorts and tank tops, while others require a suit even in the summer. For example, if you work with heavy machinery, no one will expect you to wear a suit.

However, everybody is unique, so clothes look different on everyone. Women with larger chests, even if they wear a simple tank top, will show some cleavage. The alternative is to wear a shirt with a buttoned neck. However, not everyone finds that comfortable, so as long as the individual follows the basic rules of clothing, a little cleavage isn’t a problem. However, the original poster did not agree.

There is nothing unprofessional about a bit of skin, especially in the summer.

OP wanted to ask Reddit whether she did the right thing by talking to her co-worker about her clothing choices.

Christina is a new employee, and apparently, she is a big-breasted woman, which means her cleavage is always on display.

A few guys came to OP to talk about the situation since they found the whole situation awkward and asked OP for help.

So right after that, OP decided to talk to the new employee about her cleavage always on display and whether she did it deliberately.

The new employee was obviously offended, but OP said that it was weird that she wanted to show her cleavage when she was already married.

This unsurprisingly made Christina upset, and she told OP that whoever had a problem with her clothing could come to talk to her directly.

This led to an argument, and now Christina refuses to talk to half of the employees.

OP tried to smooth things over, but Christina wasn’t having it and told OP to stay away from her.

OP thinks that her tone is the problem and that she should have been more understanding.

OP faced a lot of backlash for their views on cleavage and clothing choices. It’s important to remember that everyone’s style preferences and level of comfort vary. Also, it’s strange that the guys approached her. She should have simply told them to speak with HR themselves if they were so uncomfortable. The way she handled the situation was completely inappropriate, and I am not surprised that the woman no longer wants to talk to OP.

People in the comments had varying opinions.

From what we know, OP isn’t in HR.

I have to agree that the way the OP approached it was bad.

It doesn’t seem like she wears anything unprofessional since the upper management hasn’t asked her to change.

It’s really not as big a thing as everyone made it out to be.

There were many big-breasted people in the comments sharing their own experiences.

Having cleavage has nothing to do with anything else.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened.

It does kind of come off as ‘not like other girls’.

It is a simple rule that everyone should follow.

Some people never change.
