This seems to be a common case in business
and from what I have seen working in a restraunt. Most companies have certain
dress codes, and usually enforce them strongly. When I worked in a restraunt
the boss was allways getting on the womens cases when they wore an out
of regulation skirt, usually they were sent home to change, or if they
refused they would be fired or put on suspension.
In this case the men say that the short dress'
was distracting, I find that hard to believe. First of all the supervisor
should have the rules and regulations of the company. Second how do the
women act. Do they strut their stuff around, do they have this reputation
from past experiences, or do they just like dressing this way. Is the supervisor
over reacting or is he just jelous because the women are hot and he has
an ugly wife, and the women wont give him the time of day.
I think that the supervisor should look up
the rules and regulations of the company and act according to company policy.
