Hm...what is up with discrimination and Harvard? Yay for Spring!
That was an absurd case---it has been a long time, but some years ago, people dressed up for work and wanted to come across as professional. Now anything goes. People are not concerned by the image they project. This woman seems to project an image that her supervisors did not find suitable OR maybe she was incompetent. Sometimes when an incompetent person doesn't get a promotion, they want to blame it on the first thing that comes to mind. (It is because I'm a woman, I am black, etc) I'd like to see someone say "I'm an idiot and want a promotion."
Okay....starting to ramble....I just thought it was a lame case....I'm too pretty and they wouldn't promote me....gag me!
