Former Citigroup banker, Debrahlee Lorenzana, who was fired because she was 'too hot', and then refused to be tight-lipped about the discrimination against her at the company and threatened to sue her new boss if they forced her to be quiet about it.

Lorenzana says she won't tolerate indiscrimination, even if it means suing the ones who employed her after she was thrown out of Citigroup. And the remarks that she got there was "Oh, your pants are too tight. You cannot wear turtleneck, because you draw too much attention".

Maintain dress code

idea posted by Shashikant Rajak Senior Consultant, Technozone consultancy ltd

If you maintain proper dress code then there will be no problem, but if it is being violated, and if the person is a real asset to the organization even then one can take action against them, but firing them just because they are drawing too much of attention at office is ridiculous...

Dress code is very important for all companies. But one thing I noticed, the team which is making these rules and monitor the dress code every day, doesn't often follow them. I see this all organization which I worked for..!! One more funny thing I noticed male should not wear round neck t-shirts, does that mean female can wear them..

Thanks for the referral Mr.Shashikant Rajak.

My opinion is to have proper dress code in offices where both men & women are working. One's dressing sense should not distract others. One may claim as his/her liberty or right, but that should not be a disturbance to others. Hence maintaining a dress code is a must.

Top banks like Citigroup banks always have dress code. Violations attract  stringent actions. It is not known whether the  employee followed dress code or not. Taking action for looking gorgeous even in the out fit in line with the dress code is not proper. However ,The persons actually present at the spot are better judges. We can have many versions of truth.

No Affair In Premises

idea posted by Darshana Sawant HR Manager, Leading IT services company

Management should make & follow a strict rule like 'No Affair In The Premises '. Anybody who breaks it should face the consequences.

Removing somebody who is hot or handsome is not a genuine reason. This is not a justified situation.

PUt her in the employee retention team

idea posted by Ashish Saluja Associate Client Manager - Engg & tech , Synergy Executive Search

Use her beauty to her advantage, she should be deputed to areas where there is a lot of face to face interaction. I may sound like a MCP but i feel atleast this will help such people in there jobs

Maintain dress code

People themselves should be aware on their dressing. It's not clever saying no affairs at office like that, but people themselves should maintain proper dresscode. They should concentrate on their dressings not only at office but in public places too. Your dressing also should make others to calculate you and it measures your respect

Maintain "skin code" along with dress

idea posted by ASOKE KUSARI Domestic Private Banking-Executive/Manager, A large leading PSU Bank - India

The discussion here itself may become 'hot' and 'hotter'  ..  ! The peer-group might find ways and means if "excess" has taken place be fore such issues go to the Management.

Directly, the Management might not come into picture. But, yes, employees might follow "Skin-code along with dress code". Elaboration required ?

Shouldering greater Responsibility with execution .

idea posted by rakesh sahu Legal Advisor, industrial,legal and Tax consultants

The saying Goes" A beautiful heart cannot break anydodies Heart". God has gifted the Beauty so it nees to arrest others eye,for the reason to get fired from the Job means the Management nees to revive its Policies of Termination.I had privilidge to be a part of the discussion,even the dress code is designed still the beauty of a beautiful girl cannot be shattered, so the only way out as per my perception is to shoulder her with such responsibility ,that her attention gets focused with the companys work and the task masters has to be focused on the out come of her work to build up assets of the Company.
