Stop wearing hoochy clothes when you're overweight

that and not being fat as a younger person spared her from kids cruel taunts so she doesnt "know any better."

it would be better if someone just said to her that she wasnt dressed appropriately for work rather than having everyone in the office gossip about it.

that said, if she feels good in it and she likes it then *i* think she should jsut go nuts.

1) I am not gossiping about her at my office. I am commenting about her anonymously on a forum noting my complaint with how she dresses.
2) I have no problem with larger women...I just personally don't like when they wear revealing clothes as I personally do not think it is very attractive (I realize this is my personal opinion...and this is why it is my rant).
3) I totally agree that if she likes how she feels in her clothes, she should wear what she feels like. That being said, if it is unprofessional or considered repulsive by the general public, then she deserves to be talked about...that's life.

Good question...although she did start selling Mary Kay products a year or so ago. The day she started she came into the office and I thought we were being attacked by some Native Americans 1850 style. She really is a scary person.

Why is this reminding me more and more of the Drew Carey show.. or rather, a certain character on it..

Just out of curiousity... what kinda work do you do? I'm just wondering because i'm aware of no white collar jobs that don't require AT LEAST a collared shirt. In any case, not the kind of clothes that you claim this fat woman is wearing.

I work for a private company in manufacturing (1 billion dollar size). I work in IS (software design), but we have people from all different departments (corporate building). We used to have offices downtown where there was a strict dress code. We recently bought a building in an office park in the suburbs and the dress code has become business casual...they really don't have strict guidelines set on what is business casual at this point.

Must not be from Silicon Valley.......CFO's of public companies will walk around in jeans any given day of the week.


I wouldn't complain I find chubby women sexy!

Dress codes largely only apply to men.
