In this case I believe the male supervisor
was in the wrong, and here's why. First the women that were working for
the City Commission were not notified by their supervisor of the dress
code, or change of that dress code. Second, just how distracting or who
was it distracting, not the other co-workers or there would have been more
complainnts from them. (co-workers)
This is probably a case of the male supervisor
that didn't like to look at a nice leg, his wife is probably fat.
If he wishes to control this problem he will
have to issue a company policy on dress, stating exactly what the company
will accept or not except. I wish we had this problem in this class.
