Woman Fired From Citibank For Being ' Sexy' by Kwajay(m): 10:32pm On Apr 08, 2013
A Queens woman says she was fired from a Manhattan bank for being too hot for the workplace.

Debrahlee Lorenzana, filed a lawsuit against Citibank claiming she was the victim of a hostile work environment simply because of the way she dressed on the job.

She began working at the Citibank branch in the Chrysler Building in September 2009 and soon encountered "inappropriate and sexist comments" from her male coworkers.

The 33-year-old Queens woman says she was told by her bosses to tone down her wardrobe, including form-fitting clothes like turtlenecks, pencil skirts, fitted suits and heels.

According to Lorenzana, she requested to be transfered to another branch in May 2009. After iniitally being turned down, her wish was granted in July 2009 when she was moved to the Rockfeller Center branch, but was fired in August 2009 for alleged poor job performance.

For them to tell her to tone it down means she was too much...showing too much and causing distractions.As usual, they would find a different reason to fire her...poor performance...and good luck to her to prove in court that they fired her because of how she dressed.
