Inappropriate cleavage in the workplace

I had an eye popping experience at the city building last week. A female employee with 4 inches of cleavage and low cut t-shirt was sitting in a chair waiting on people who were standing behind the counter looking down practically to her navel. The African man next to me, probably a Muslim, finally went out to wait in the hall for his wife who was talking to the buxom employee rather than violate her with his eyes. Cover up ladies. You look ridiculous. I was embarrassed for her and our culture which creates such exhibitionism and then whines about sexism and women disrespected on the job. Save it for a party or the special man in your life. Any guy you attract dressed like that probably isn't going to be a good catch.

The way we dress has a huge effect on the way we perceive ourselves, and on the way we're perceived. Sadly, the two don't always match up.

My star candidate in the sexy dress, for example, may have looked in her mirror that morning and seen 'confident, individual, fashionable'. I saw 'bimbo, trying too hard, someone who doesn't have the sense to dress for the context in which she's going to be seen'.

The other female employee in the front office was wearing faded jeans and a hoody sweatshirt. She looked ready to go out and cheer on her grandchildren's soccer team, but at least she was covered up.
