Who knows may be his wife pressurised him to sack her coz she must have heard of bosses having flings and external affairs with beautiful women in their offices.it looks odd when someone sacks for being gorgeous or with a nice dress sense.great day.

that boss should be fired! he is mean! is he/she pretty or sexy? if not, then he need to take a glimpse of himself first before saying bad things to the other.

Hiya T_Diamond,
A few weeks back now or maybe three months back I heard that a Woman had been fired for beautiful and wearing clothes that were not suitable for her Job. In other words that she was provoking or could be distracting other People from doing their Work.
I donĀ“t know which Country this was now but I thought it really unfair for them to take this attitude if she has beauty and brains what is it to do with anyone else?
She was very efficient perhaps they were afraid she might take over their Jobs highly unlikely as she was only doing one Job her own.
So now do you have to go to a Job untidy, uncombed and not washed is that the code nwo?
Sounds really very silly to me.

Reading an article about this, most of the jobs women got fired from because of their good looks were "manly" jobs. Something a man would usually do.

I have to agree with you as if a person is qualified for a position and is adequately dressed as per their company attire codes then what else could be the reasoning.
Crazy huh, but hey her lost.

If you're looking smarter than the interviewer, I guess you've already passed the first test of the interview.

I have never really heard of this, but I guess it does seem to happen. Still in my opinion I don't think that anybody should be fired based on their looks. Everybody has to work hard to earn a living I think that's just sad if somebody gets fired because of their looks.

It seems like looking good is becoming a code for work. Bosses need to dose their flames.

I do not hear that until reading your writing . In my opinion , the good looks will help someone to get a good job easily . Good appearance is also one of abilities for people , I think .

Really? First time I've heard of something like that. Usually the opposite happens. People get hired because of their good looks.
