A former Citibank employee in NYC is claiming she was fired because she’s “too hot” and was a distraction to the other employees<\/a>. Now, she’s certainly not ugly, but assuming she wasn’t coming to work in a halter top and Daisy Dukes, I think it’s pretty clear that it’s the “other employees” that have the problem, and not her (I think this sort of thing was also responsible for Helen Thomas’ retirement; she was just too hot), but the boys at Citibank apparently couldn’t handle it, and told her she needed to start wearing baggier clothing.. <\/p>\n

“I don’t have the money to buy a new wardrobe,” she says, referring to her work outfits. “I shop where everyone else shops\u00e2\u20ac\u201dat Zara!” Lorenzana recalls leaving the meeting feeling humiliated. Other female employees “were able to wear such clothing because they were short, overweight, and they didn’t draw much attention,” she later wrote in a letter describing the meeting to Human Resources, “but since I was five-foot-six, 125 pounds, with a figure, it wasn’t ‘appropriate.’ ” She was also furious. “Are you saying that just because I look this way genetically, that this should be a curse for me?”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, sadly, the curse of the good-looking people strikes again. I pity them all – men and women alike. Never getting the good jobs, never special treatment, never getting out of speeding tickets. Not everyone is blessed the way we short fat people are. <\/p>\n

After a four-day weekend, it’s back to work again today. That sucks. Hopefully nobody will complain that I’m too sexy for my shirt. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
