Starting a new job can feel uncertain with new faces, environments, and tasks to tackle. Before Reddit user throwawayAITA92848 could settle in and meet her team, she found herself in a tricky spot. OP has always preferred not to wear bras. It’s just not her thing. She went braless in her previous job and continued the same at her new office. However, this choice garnered negative remarks from her coworkers, leaving her perplexed about the next step. OP turned to the subreddit “Am I The A$$hole?” to ask the community if not wearing a bra to work made her an AH or not.
1. As far as I know, etiquette is different at workplaces compared to anywhere else. Let’s find out!
2. OP shared that she never wore a bra to work at her previous job, and on day 1 of her new job, she continued with the same attire rule.
3. OP finds bras uncomfortable and has developed a hatred for them.
4. On the very first day, two people came up to OP to tell her her clothing looked inappropriate without the bra.
5. OP was wearing a sweater and knew it wasn’t see-through.
6. One woman at the workplace said she was wearing normal clothes, which gave OP some comfort.
I don’t know what to say about this. Yes, comfort is number one when you have to make sure your productivity is high throughout the day at work. But if two people on the very first day have told her her attire is inappropriate, it means it is. People already working there know the workplace culture better than her. If someone there is telling her to wear a bra, she should do so and not wait until someone from the upper management notices the issue and calls her in.
