Employee Fired For Refusing To Wear Makeup
Sad but true – a woman who worked for a restaurant in Mission Valley, San Diego, California, was fired recently for because she refused to wear makeup on the job. She reportedly said “I have never worn makeup in my life. I just don’t like it. When (the boss) told me I need to dress like I am going out with the man of my dreams, that did it for me.”
To top it off, it seems her employer may be within his legal right to fire her for this reason, this despite a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling several years ago that it is not discriminatory for employers to require women wear makeup. The woman is reportedly looking into her legal options at this time.
