Comments on: Short (skirt) Requests https://www.evilhrlady.org/2009/02/short-skirt-requests.html Everything to make HR better Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:34:39 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.4 By: Anonymous https://www.evilhrlady.org/2009/02/short-skirt-requests.html#comment-204756 Wed, 11 Feb 2015 16:34:39 +0000 http://localhost/wordpress/2009/02/short-skirt-requests.html#comment-204756 I love to tease my older boss and wear a very short skirt to work. I too work in a small office with one other lady, she is much older than me and very straight laced and is only part time, so this gives me plenty of time alone with my boss in the office. I love to wear seamed stockings, as I know that these are a particular favourite of his and with a tight mini skirt I can give him plenty to look at!. I find nothing wrong with this as I see it as harmless fun, I have him eating out of the palm of my hand most days, as I control the situation with my teasing, He is just another weak willed man controlled by a superior woman!.

Wear skirts. Short ones. Your boss will love you, you'll look smart, professional and feminine, and no-one's going to die just because you can't wear pants or long skirts any more.

I’m not going to say that as a guy I don’t like short skirts (not wearing them of course) but I think what I hate the most is people who abuse their power. my take is yes I love when my female underlings wear skirts but I would never ever tell them that they had to do so just to please my sick fantasies. (and they are sick)

But, how about suggesting HE wear a short skirt?

What he’s doing is likely sexual harassment, and definitely sex discrimination (and, I AM an employment lawyer).

Evil HR Lady’s advice, however, has value. You hope for the best (he stops), but you prepare for the worst (you have to sue). So, talk to him. Document your conversations and his statements. If you can, have a witness. This protects you — and frankly, is advice that benefits HR (tho, not in your case) as well. If a boss is clearly breaking the law, and there’s good evidence, then management and HR will have a much easier time of taking on the boss than if its a he said/she said situation.

Whatever you do, contact the EEOC (or, your state agency) for employment counseling. You don’t have to file a claim, but you should get educated about your rights and options.

Pleasant refusal to wear the skirts, or start wearing longer skirts, which thwart his purposes.

And start looking for another job, because a lawyer who is willing to behave this way is fairly suspect and will no doubt find other ways to act up.

Depending on what state she is in, she might have state law protection, but should check first before thinking that she is automatically protected.
