00:00You don't really need to get your cleavage out, to put it bluntly.
00:04So, I've had an email from HR this morning basically saying that my work attire isn't appropriate
00:10and isn't conforming with the standards of the business, that kind of rubbish.
00:14I personally don't see the issue. It's not too short, it's not that tight, it's not low-cut in the sight.
00:20I think this lady in HR has got it out for me and is jealous.
00:25She turned to her male HR manager for support.
00:28I had an email from Paula this morning basically saying she's not happy with what I'm wearing to work.
00:33It's, like, distracting.
00:35So, I just wanted to know, obviously, as a HR person yourself, like, is there an issue?
00:39Like, what can I do, basically?
00:42I mean, like, this dress was, like, an example.
00:45I don't see the problem. Like, it's not short, it's not figure-hugging, I don't think, and it's not revealing.
00:50I don't know. I don't get what the problem is.
00:52I mean, it's all free of her shoes.
00:53I think it's appropriate. Look at that.
00:55Talk about a backhanded compliment. Is that workplace appropriate?
00:59Today is the day. I have my meeting with Paula. Help me.
01:03So I thought I would go all guns blazing and quite literally wear a blazer.
01:08She just can't be masked. Yes, it is a bit long cut. Yes, it is a bit short. Who cares?
01:12Women should be able to wear what they want in the workplace.
01:15Okay, so you've had a chance to have a look at the email.
01:18Yes.
01:19Have you got any thoughts about the comments that I made?
01:22Yeah. Just to be quite blunt about it, I didn't really see an issue, personally.
01:28I also spoke to Matt, and he said it was absolutely fine, and there was no issues at all.
01:33Oh, okay. Right. Well, I haven't spoken to Matt, and Matt can't really speak on behalf of the whole company, to be honest.
01:39Sure.
01:39I like this outfit. I'm quite comfortable in it, and it's also is blazer, so I don't really see the issue.
01:46Yeah, I mean, I know, you know, it looks great, but you don't really need to get your cleavage out, to put it bluntly.
01:54Well, I am a woman, so that is bound to happen, and I don't particularly want to wear, like, a shirt, like, no offence.
02:01That's not really a bit of me.
02:03Okay, well, there are a lot of women that work in this company who don't dress like they're doing.
02:09Some of them male colleagues. I find it was quite distracting.
02:13Sorry, but what's that got to do with me? That's a problem with them.
02:16How do men always find a way to blame women for their depraved thoughts?
02:20Because, to be honest, some of the comments I've had is that, actually, you're begging for attention.
02:25Okay. Yikes. That is harsh.
02:27Cheers. Thank you very much. I will take that on board.
02:29She was given an ultimatum. Take action or lose her job.
02:33So, what are you going to do about this?
02:37Apparently buy a new wardrobe. Am I going to get expenses for that? Because it's going to cost me a lot.
02:41You don't need to go through a whole wardrobe.
02:43Well, that's what you're asking me to do.
02:45Maybe a jacket, maybe an ice blast.
02:46No, but you're literally saying I have to change my look.
02:48Oh, no.
02:49You've picked up on me saying what I'm wearing is an issue, and, no offence, but it's coming across, like, as a jealousy thing.
02:55It is not a jealousy thing.
02:56I'm speaking on behalf of my colleagues.
02:59Cheers.
