Was it Appropriate?

[RosieRosie]

At our staff meeting, one of the men was talking about the dress code and said that every Monday, the two women (both in their 40's) dress was to be pink bikinis.

Was it a joke? Is this man a supervisor? In what kind of setting do you work?

 

[Saffron]

What does their age have to do with it?

 

[Steve H.]

If it was meant as a joke (not a very good one, BTW) and taken as a joke by everyone, then it's fine. If it made people uncomfortable, someone should probably tell him so.

Probably just a joke, but definitely in poor taste IMHO.

I suppose a joke, salacious though it is. Certainly not appropriate. This type of behavior does come from the acceptability of the day-to-day demeaning of women in our society, sad as it is.

"Okay, I'll wear the pink bikini if you'll come to work in a gorilla suit."

(muttered) "Oh, that's right, you wear that every day. Sorry."



(In other words, no, not appropriate )

That was funny Rajah..... I would have substituted PIG though.

 

[jldriscoll]

Seems pretty inappropriate.

Oh *sigh*. It goes on everywhere. It's wrong everywhere. I don't understand why people think it's okay everywhere but work. I see it here. I see it on TV and in the movies. I see it by my so called friends IRL (I loose quite a bit or respect for them then). People think it's a riot. I can completely understand why people don't know which way is up.

My opinion is that it was a joke.. not really appropriate though and in poor taste.

 

[ratsrule]

I wanna work there!

CRB#33,

It is true that this goes on everywhere, but if I don't like the TV show I can change the channel, I can walk out of a movie, and I can get new friends. But I have to work, I can't leave a job every time something like this happens.

*sigh* sounds very inappopriate to me

 

[zurgswife]
