Office worker sent home for “distracting” outfit
<p dir="ltr">An office worker has claimed she was sent home from work for wearing a “distracting” dress. </p>
<p dir="ltr">US woman Marie Dee wore a black figure-hugging dress with a high neckline to her office on a standard work day, but a human resources employee allegedly deemed her outfit inappropriate.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The mother-of-two secretly filmed herself being confronted by the “HR girl” who dubbed her dress “way too revealing and distracting” for the office.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Guys it happened again, I’m getting sent home for my outfit,” Marie said in the viral TikTok video.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“This is getting ridiculous.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">The footage shows Marie walking over to the HR employee’s office to ask what was wrong with her outfit. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“I’m sorry you still can’t wear that. It’s way too revealing and distracting,” the HR woman can be heard saying.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Confused, Marie responded, “It’s distracting?” to which the HR staff member replied, “Very.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">The video has been viewed more than 20 million times, with thousands of commenters jumping to Marie’s defence. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“I’m an HR leader and I think your outfit is professional and polished,” one said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another wrote, “You look very professional, I think the HR girl is a bit jealous that you are so beautiful.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">One suggested, “I’m an HR manager and I would wear that myself!”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another added, “You look great and very professional... I don’t understand. There’s nothing wrong with that.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another person said, “HR seems to be overstepping here. I don’t think anything is wrong here.”</p>
