“Now Being Pretty Isn’t So Pretty”

Is she 'too' pretty to be an Accountant?

A hooters waitress was put on probation until she lost weight, a casino bartender was fired after challenging her employer’s policy that female workers be “dolled up”, and a 240-pound fitness instructor was denied a Jazzercise franchise because she’s too full-bodied. While this is a problem unto itself a new discrimination has seeped through the veiling system targeting those that are pretty. “Debrahlee Lorenzana was fired from her job at Citibank because, she claimed, her managers/co-workers thoughtt she was too attractive.” A new study found “that attractive women are discriminated against when applying for “masculine” jobs in finance, engineering, and R&D.”

 Society is virtually attacking every angle of an individual, and in my opinion has far passed sanity. Individuals are not slim enough, pretty enough, and now not unattractive enough. Society is only bruising itself, because by continuing these hurtful discriminations it damages one’s self esteem/confidence, ultimately affecting the workforces.

 These prejudiced businesses should take OB because then they would know that low self confidence = low productivity. If this flow continues, there will be few to hire because majority will not fit the image; resulting in Managers and even CEO’s losing their jobs.  This may lead to a chain disaster of stagnant   unemployment. Governments must outlaw discrimination based on looks immediately.
