Can a manager ask someone to "be more girly" at work?

[Gromit]

whayousayinbra? <my face BOVVERED
if i ever start following the fashions, someone shoot me

yay! more sense

I can see you in a nice gucci dress though mate, it would really set off your eyes

Yay? So you are admitting then that in those circumstances it can be justified?

 

[cesare]

Thing is ... dress codes have to be justifiable and even if there's different treatment (i.e. different expectations for men and women) they mustn't show less favourable treatment if the employer wants to avoid being challenged on discrimination grounds.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

It depends what her job is, surely.

Yes maybe she is a belly dancer.

 

[teuchter]

We need to know what job this woman is doing, and a photo of her in her current dress, before we are able to make any decision about this.

Lapdancer
Poledancer
Strip-o-gram
Specialist clubs/bars customer facing worker

Struggling to think of any more examples ...

alot of them don't require 'girly' dress to do the job adequately though

 

[electrogirl]

It seems 'girlie' equates to 'naked'.

 

[quimcunx]

It seems 'girlie' equates to 'naked'.

Depends on the client, maybe.

Perhaps she should send an email to her boss asking her to confirm whether by 'girly' she means 'more naked'?

i'm not claiming that they did, merely highlighting the various roles that DWP see within the world of "adult" services.

Why is "warehouse" on that list?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Why is "warehouse" on that list?

Porn packers I assume (my friend has done this work for 3 years now) - mail order dildos and the like.

Girly dress code wouldn't apply though - they'd be issued with PPE just like any other warehouse worker surely?

I'm still not claiming that they should wear anything - my original post listing the occupations was simply in response to your post of possible positions that may require a "girly" dress code, and was simply highlighting some of the various roles classed as "adult" industry more generally.

I wish I hadn't bothered now, it's clearly causing some large amount of confusion where previously there had been none.....or something.....

 

[Treacle Toes]

[*]Adult chat line operators and supervisors

Eh? Dress girlie to speak on the phone/moderate adult chat lines?

dont be misquoting me! it was a yay to cesare sensibleness
quite clear when you read the post as i quoted your sillyness then cesare's sensibleness

Where's the harm in getting in the mood/setting the right ambience?

That's because you seem to be equating 'adult' dress with being girlie, when it really has nothing to do with it.

I don't think the op is being asked to dress more raunchily?

Doing an Onket.

 

[bluestreak]

I understood the point you were making Paulie.

And thus enjoyed many lulz since then.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Okay.

In that case since the subject matter on this thread is now adult...I think we should all strip. See if that helps us to be a bit more sensual and understanding with our posts.


*wonders whether we should all be naked when viewing the nakid thread*

No i fucking don't. Can't you read? I'm not equating anything with anything. cesare listed some roles that may have required a "girly" (whatever the fuck that is anyway) dress code.

In an idle aside, I highlighted an official government consultation that is currently taking place about advertising employment vacancies in the world of "adult" entertainment, because that expanded on cesare's list of roles.

I made absolutely no claims as to the validity of someone being asked to be more "girly" in their dress, I made absolutely no claims that the positions I highlighted had any kind of bearing on being "girly" or otherwise. It was a fucking list. That is all. The end.

 

[whoha]

If they want girlie perhaps she should arrive for work in school uniform.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Innit, ffs, you couldn't make it up....

1. So you are now suggesting they should be naked?

2. Shouting = sexy fail.

Aren't you? I know I am.

1. Yes.
2. is that better?

 

[WouldBe]

[Treacle Toes]

Thought you were at work?

 

[bluestreak]

I am. I'm also not looking at the nekkid thread.
