Office worker sent home for “distracting” outfit
An office worker has claimed she was sent home from work for wearing a “distracting” dress.
US woman Marie Dee wore a black figure-hugging dress with a high neckline to her office on a standard work day, but a human resources employee allegedly deemed her outfit inappropriate.
The mother-of-two secretly filmed herself being confronted by the “HR girl” who dubbed her dress “way too revealing and distracting” for the office.
“Guys it happened again, I’m getting sent home for my outfit,” Marie said in the viral TikTok video.
“This is getting ridiculous.”
The footage shows Marie walking over to the HR employee’s office to ask what was wrong with her outfit.
“I’m sorry you still can’t wear that. It’s way too revealing and distracting,” the HR woman can be heard saying.
Confused, Marie responded, “It’s distracting?” to which the HR staff member replied, “Very.”
The video has been viewed more than 20 million times, with thousands of commenters jumping to Marie’s defence.
“I’m an HR leader and I think your outfit is professional and polished,” one said.
Another wrote, “You look very professional, I think the HR girl is a bit jealous that you are so beautiful.”
One suggested, “I’m an HR manager and I would wear that myself!”
Another added, “You look great and very professional... I don’t understand. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Another person said, “HR seems to be overstepping here. I don’t think anything is wrong here.”
