Citibank fires sexy coworker

Debrahlee Lorenzana was allegedly fired from Citibank for being drop-dead gorgeous. It seems her curves and flaunting fashion sent more than just her branch's revenues up. Male customers confess going out of their way to check out her - um - assets, while colleagues claim her looks were distracting in the office environment.
Citibank of course denies that Ms. Lorenzana's looks or wardrobe led to her dismissal, but it raises an interesting question.
Should a woman (or man for that matter) be fired for dressing inappropriately, even if it doesn't technically break office dress code? Have you felt uncomfortable because of a coworker's looks or fashion choices?

She is not the problem. Let her where whatever she wants as long as she doesn't break the rules. Everyone else needs a lesson in self control and the ability to focus. The real problem is most likely that her coworkers are insecure, self conscious and jealous around her due to her physical attractiveness, which is in no way her fault. Grow up folks. | |

I can see them firing her if they had rules about this and she wasn't | |
If she was dressing inappropriate and she had been warned once. Then I completely agree with her dismissal. However, if not it's pretty unfair. People can't help if they're busty or curvaceous even when wearing the most modest outfit. Pretty sexist to penalize someone by their looks in this world to me. Plus the fact that it was bringing in people more often etc to me says that's good business lol. | |

Wow this was the first time I have ever heard about any scenarios like that where a person was fired for being too attractive. I find that to be unfair but I also understand the company's perspective that if someone is distracting the employees and customers then something needs to be done. I think that maybe discussing with her about different clothing option would help. If she is really that curvy, then maybe it's not a good idea to wear tight clothes that accentuate her curves. |
