I've never seen a woman having this "problem".
I agree with the warning, I disagree with the guy reporting it.

My wifes like that (I hesitate to use the word problem), shes always perky.

I'm surprised that HR didnt nerf any warnings and tell them not to mention it again.
 
Hmmm, show ATOT wifes perky nipples and get spleen ripped out by angry redhead or take cowardly route and disappoint ATOT but still have BJ privileges intact.

Sorry guys. 🙁

This reply approved by husbands everywhere, especially those that still have BJ privileges.
 
I had a white t-shirt phase at work (I'm a construction tech = bum working in the field) and my nipples were pretty apparent. Kind of feel bad for my coworkers.

Even worse, I had a white summer-weight shirt. That was total see-through. Nipples galore.
 
it's distracting for other women too I'm sure, even if they're not aroused. In a business setting, warning for sure.
 
Someone I work with has a smoking body and often generous amounts of cleavage. Sometimes it can make it a bit hard to focus.

Been there and to be honest I prefer where I work now there are no hotties. It just makes life easier.

Some women have had reconstructed breasts after mastectomies and have fake nipples permanently in the 'on' position. It would be a great lawsuit if this were the case.

Yeah, fuck the US with more drama.

a simple padded bra works.
 
I read the poll wrong. Please subtract one from the yes i'm a dude column to the no problem column. Thems things are nice.
 
I'm a grown up.
I work in a professional environment.

Nipples happen.
there, I said it.
Nipples happen, boners happen, nice asses "happen".

Complaints like this are 90% women, 10% religious men. Usually made by people who are easily drawn away from their actual work into bullshit topics like "what other people are wearing" or whatever fucking rumor is floating around.
In other words, the top complainers are those who act unprofessionally to begin with.

If a women is attractive, she will draw eyes no matter what. If she has a nice ass she will draw eyes. It works both ways with guys.
Its human fucking nature.

We've had plenty of occasions where the "hot girls" have come in and nipples happened or the pants that they were wearing highlight an ass so perfect (takes a moment to reminisce some fappable asses).
You take a mental snapshot, plan your movements in the office to coincide with viewing opportunities and then you GO BACK TO WORK.

Unfortunately in our litigious society, companies have to cover their asses to protect against anything that might anyone "uncomfortable".

The women who received the warning hopefully will be able to identify the person who complained. My recommendation to her would to file a complaint that the complainer is making her feel uncomfortable by constantly staring at her breasts.
 
Cant imagine being a supervisor and having to have that conversation. I'd have to find a female in HR to tackle that one.

That's a lawsuit if I've ever seen one. It also depends on how the dress code is written, and who's responsibility it is to enforce it. Work-related performance is one thing, settling work-place inuendo and distraction isn't part of my job description. You spend all your time looking at a co-workers nipples, you'll know it when your review comes around.

It's not professional and she knows it, or she's too stupid.
