Nice rack!

Now You are fired because I can't stop staring. Those are your tits so it must be your fault. MoDo brings us the sad tale of an attractive woman and the Citibank managers who have nothing better to do all day than stare at her.
She said a co-worker who shopped with her and bought the same styles and designer brands never got in trouble, and neither did some tellers who wore low-cut tops, snug pants and hot boots.

“I said, ‘You are discriminating to me, because of my body type,’ “ she said with a slight accent and a breathy voice. “This is genetic. What am I supposed to do?”

Citigroup didn’t return calls for comment on Friday. Lorenzana’s lawsuit says that her bosses told her that her female colleagues could wear what they liked because their “general unattractiveness rendered moot their sartorial choices.” Her well-tailored clothes, on the other hand, emphasized what her lawyer calls her “hourglass figure.”
Good luck with your suit Ms. Lorenzana.

Comments:
Color me dubious. She did an interview on the nightly news, and it was clear that English was maybe her *third* language, because she certainly couldn't speak it intelligibly. My guess is that her "hourglass figure" got her the job, and her inability to interact with the customers in the English language lost her the job...

I worked for a major banking corp and interacted with a lot of people, branch and otherwise in the NYC area. Lack of English is not necessarily a liability. A lot of customers are not conversant in English so stop being a chauvanist.
