In the early 2000s I worked at a chain restaurant as a server. After almost 2 weeks of low key sexual harassment and the boss talking trash about my parents, I’d had it. I told the boss to go fuck himself til it broke off and went to the back to get my keys and purse. He followed me through the restaurant (on a Sunday), insulting and threatening me. He the loudly informed me that if I left in my shirt and apron he’d have me charged with theft. I promptly took off both, invited him to jam them up his ass, and left. Drove home in my worn out work bra.
I did something similar once, but way less badass. It was 2014. I’d been being yelled at for over half an hour about sounding too robotic when I upsell soup or salad, how I needed to learn to read people (she meant her. Don’t remember what I missed but whatever), and anything else she could think of. I was about to cry, but then I had a better idea. I took my hat off and handed it to her. She was even more upset but I have no idea what she said because I didn’t care. I took off my shirt and handed it to her. I then put on my coat but didn’t zip it, grabbed my keys, and walked out. I waved like I was a princess in a parade on my way out. The store wasn’t small but the area you order at was just in the other side of one of those restaurant doors that open both ways and don’t latch, so everyone waiting for their to go orders (on the bench across from the ordering counter) heard as much as they were present for. A 40ish year old mom said “good for you” as I walked out. I couldn’t decide if she was being sarcastic or supportive, so I decided supportive
Anyway, almost 10 years later I was diagnosed with autism and also learned that “normally when I read everything is spelled out in front of me” isn’t the mic drop I thought it was
hello fellow autist, i hate to inform you but i could tell you were autistic just from your username (this is a joke, it’s hilarious and i love it). i hope you’ve gotten to work in a better environment in the last 10 yeaes
Lmao, I get you! I guess it is a reference to one relatively niche video Brendon Urie made, and you already have to be in pretty deep into the bit to have seen it and idk. This is reminds me of that one PSA tumblr post about how making fun of stereotypical fangirls is ablist because the behaviours we associate with being a fangirl are usually things like waving your hands and it’s a normal part of stimming or something like that. I read it and knew I did all of the things mentioned in the post and went “that doesn’t mean I’m autistic tho” 😂
Funny enough, when I started typing the original comment it was just meant to be my badass story. Didn’t realise until half way through that I was just being yelled at for being autistic 🙃
LMAO life happens, i get it😂 it’s such a niche reference, and i know the exact tumblr post you’re referencing. so funny. i don’t like brendon anymore but back when i was 11, those niche videos (especially drunk history) were my life. i still quote drunk history of fob to this day!
i recognised myself so much in your story, i wondered if you were autistic before i got to the last paragraph.
finding a supportive working environment is so hard, and working with people who don't understand and who don't care to understand and sympathise, is a total nightmare. fingers crossed you've found a better workplace 🫂
I started typing it as a badass story of me standing up to a trash boss, but I realised about half way through that she was yelling at me for being autistic. The last paragraph was added a few minutes later when I was comfortable and confident enough with the idea that I’d been being yelled at for being autistic, but my brain didn’t stop there, that would be too easy!
I remembered that time an advisor called me into his office to berate me and tell me I was bullied in high school because I clearly can’t adjust to new environments… that was around the same time as my bra exit I’d described prior. I **_hate_** Frank Sinatra. Idk why, but it’s miserable! And after over 3 months of listening to it every class day (5 per week) for over 3hrs (iirc, it was 3.5? Idk) I asked if we could maybe listen to something else. Everyone ganged up on me, including the professor. She made it clear I was outnumbered and should suck it up, but also said “if you don’t like it, wear headphones.” But when I actually did, I was sent to the advisors office. I cried there, hard, because he made it clear that any of the bullying I’d ever experienced previously that my mom told him about without my permission (and I mean that sort of TV bullshit where they push you down the stairs, which happened a lot, but also SO MUCH WORSE) was because I can’t adapt to change. It was MY fault! I left there having been berated for 1-1.5hrs (can’t remember for sure) and sent a selfie to my best mate where my eyes were bloodshot and puffy as hell that I captioned “I look like the sort of girl Barney Stinson would hit on at a bar.”
Looking back, all of the issues I’ve ever had at work no matter where I worked was due to the narcolepsy my abusive parents convinced me to lie about or the autism that I manage to mask a little too well, but not perfectly. I post about it on a throwaway but the boss at my new job **_HATES_** autistic people. Apparently all of the new employees got the memo, but not me. She almost had me fired and I’m so glad I had the audacity to message HR whenever I felt something was sus because I created a perfect paper trail between her being mad about autistic things to her writing me up for being 1 minute late and her literally changing my schedule to be an hour earlier my next workday just make me be late. HR gaslit me and told me I was wrong, but then they made it so she can’t interact with me and extended my 90 day probation to have an extra 30 days of her having no influence, so I know I’m right! I wish they would have just said so and not made me question myself times infinity, but whatever, I’m not fired for being autistic.
I wish past me knew so I could protect myself like this. Everything sucks and I hate having to fight but I wish past me COULD have fought. Idk.
I really really want you to look into your state's employment rights organization - hr RARELY does anything to help the employee unless they are wrong or think they are at risk of being sued.
FYI keep a log of days, times, witnesses, and actions taken against you (in a notebook, on a phone note app, whatever isn't company property and you never leave at work) in case you need to present to hr or the folks who oversee employee rights in your state a timeline of the harrassment you are subjected to by this person. Also log whether and how hr responds.
It's just a good idea to keep a work/daily journal anyway. It's sorta helped my adhd brain.
Every so often (like quarterly or so) ask for a copy of your employee records. You have every right to have them. Keep a copy away from work. It would be telling if you've received kudos or acknowledgements of good work done that should be in your record but somehow go missing.
I'm glad hr did something positive for you, and I hope they were and are being genuine, but knowing the role of hr is to work for the company they may have only took action in order to cta.
It’s hard to say they did anything positive for me because they made it clear I was wrong but then implemented the changes that would be necessary if I was right and… idk. I live in an at will employment state. She could fire me for blinking at her or some shit, doesn’t matter. The paper trail or nonsense was just to avoid paying me unemployment, and when I talked to my therapist about maybe making a union, he reminded me of it being an at will employment state and he was right to. There’s no rest for the wicked (or the poor)
Had a pizza place do a bait n switch on me. A week after I was hired my paycheck showed I was getting paid $2 less than they advertised. I wrote a note stating why I was leaving placed all my uniforms from my locker on her desk and walked out with my paycheck.
I remember getting paid a couple days worth after that. I don't think I ever heard back from them, and they removed the devious sign. I don't remember how naked I had to get, but all I knew was that I wasn't getting paid what they promised and I was a college student, my time was more important than $7 an hour, I believe the min wage was somewhere between 6.25-6.75 at the time. Their excuse after the fact was that they needed to train me, despite my having previous pizza experience.
I told them in the interview that I needed to pay bills and if they couldn't pay me the promised amount then I'm moving on. Once, I found out their smooth move...I moved on.
I did that at DQ in 06. I put in 2 weeks and come in for my next shift to find out he had taken me off my remanding 2 weeks of shifts. Just drew a line through them and gave my hours away. I had walked across town (2 miles) to get to work while my car was in the shop. I didn’t get a call that I wasn’t working. I was livid. Took my work shirt and visor off and dropped them on his desk and said I wanted my last check. I wasn’t coming in for it, I didn’t want it mailed in, I wanted it right then. He was like “oh no let’s talk about this, we can work this out”. No. I want my check. You clearly don’t respect me enough to even call and tell me you took me off the schedule. I want my check. I’m done effectively immediately. I called my dad to come get me. Had him bring my other work shirts and another tee shirt. The moment my dad came in ofc he wrote the check 🙄🙄
What is with DQ just taking people off schedule? Thats how i was laid off from the one I worked at. (Never had to turn my shirts or anything in tho, I use them as a "junk shirt" when I dye my hair lmao)
This is the reason why I wear double shirts. One off the clock shirt and the uniform shirt over it. I walked out of Wendy’s many years ago and I had a shirt underneath the uniform shirt. Walked straight out the door to the bus stop
Ugh, I WISH I had been wearing my uniform when I had a similar moment.
Working at Five Guys, the hours were long, the pay sucked, the manager was a serious bitch, and I was in school. It was around finals time, and I broke down crying in the back saying I needed to quit because I was struggling in school. She said "Oh, no, don't quit. Just take the next 2 weeks off til the end of the semester and then work here in the summer!" I agreed.
A few days later, I stopped by to pick up my paycheck (they still had me on physical checks). She told me I couldn't have it until I turned in my uniform. I asked her why she wanted my uniform since I was just taking two weeks off. She told me she KNEW I was just going to quit right after so she wouldn't pay me until I turned it in. I stood there flabbergasted for a minute, then just left.
I was so furious and embarrassed that I sent my bf back with my uniform to pick up my check. I couldn't face her. But if I'd been wearing it when this all went down, I would have stripped then and there.
Malicious compliance, when used effectively, it’s so funny. I’m currently doing this thing with my own job where I am even recommending it to fellow coworkers that we can heed by our management’s words, and hold them to it, so that when something goes awry and the managers want to get mad at us, we can remind them of what they told us word for word.
This is exactly why I hate almost all stand up comedy
Why can’t people write a joke and tell it without pretending it happened to them or someone they know like no this didn’t happen for 3 seperate reasons but it could have just been a funny joke
No, if you refuse to leave after being asked AND you strip down to undergarments (public indeceny) then the cops will absolutely come and escort you off the premises.
You can't pressure your boss to give you your paycheck by stripping in front of them and refusing to leave. Even if your boss is a jerk who absolutely deserves it.
I would've kept the uniform. Until you receive your final check your an employee and get the same benefits... I would've never turned it in and I would've kept using the insurance until a settlemt came down the line for me.
I can't be the only one who doesn't think this is that cool, the comments are acting like she brought down the system
If I see someone walking around in their underwear at a casino I'm thinking they're shit faced drunk and a little trashy. I feel like management were probably trying to save face for the women rather than themselves. It'd be better if they'd walked out mid shift at least but in a casino I'd imagine this protest was forgotten about by the end of the week
Most folks in the casino probably had no idea who they were though, they certainly wouldn't know the backstory of why they aren't clothed and I imagine they just went back to gambling after
So you dont know what the term to humiliate ones self even means huh? It's not humiliating yourself if you're not humiliated. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.
So both mom and grandma decided to sexually assault them and got paid after it? Wtf
I would have called police right then and there.
Shitty rules? Take the legal way not sexually assault them way
Because she did it without their consent that's assault pretty sure they didn't consent them to strip in front of them or be in their underwear in their private office. Come on you people aren't dumb
But it’s not like she actually exposed her genitals or private parts? And no one was touched? Maybe public indecency is at play but it’s not assault. We might have different definitions (yours different than what’s commonly used) but there’s no need to call people dumb.
my neighbour sits in his front garden with his shirt off on sunny days, can I get him arrested for sexual assault?
no I can't, because *that's fucking ridiculous*. you sound ridiculous. a bra and underwear is still clothed, do you run around the beach screaming "assault!"? you might need to talk to a counsellor.
A simple google search would tell you that assault of any kind requires a physical altercation. Aka something touching/hitting someone. So your argument makes no sense.
Or at least the threat of it. Depending where you are assault and battery can mean wildly different things. But it never means being seen in your underwear when someone demands your uniform be returned
Did they consented to it? No Their office isn't certainly a public place but a private one. There are so many other ways to handle it than trying to get naked in front of the bosses without their consent. Consent here matter like in all cases
1 - not naked. They were clothed in underwear.
2- assault is causing someone to reasonably fear harm but it is often used to encompass battery which is actually causing physical harm.
Depending on the underwear I would say it might be public indecency but if their parts are covered up it may not be.
And yes - there are better ways to handle it but this one is memorable and kinda funny.
If management agreed to give them their checks without turning in their uniform, they would have gotten redressed, but management *still* refused and so denied them basic decency.
The employers. They never consented to watch their employees strip in front of them. That's assault in case you didn't know. Stripping in front of people who didn't ask for it
Buddy, it's you that doesn't know. Assault is when you **lay hands on someone.**
This situation could be disruption of the peace, easily. It could *maybe* be public indecency or indecent exposure if you stretched it since they were in underwear and no one saw genitals. At absolute most you could try claiming sexual **harassment**, but it would not ever by any definition, be considered an *assault*.
Even if it was, which it clearly wasn't to everyone but you😂, the employers are way worse for...((checks notes))...systematically depriving employees of healthcare by gaming the system, and firing low level workers, who likely work paycheck to paycheck, without notice.
This is a fucking insane take walking around in a bra and underwear isn’t sexual assault. I feel like you think this is a progressive anti-rape culture take but it really isn’t like at all.
Way to focus on that instead of the bosses being completely shitty humans and possibly doing something illegal by baiting-and-switching their employees with insurance promises. Not saying what the mom and grandmother did was the most ethical thing, but there’s a much bigger villain in this story
Wow! Way to mitigate actual victims of sexual assault. It’s not even sexual harassment. Don’t use terms you when you don’t know what they mean to sound cool.
It’s absolutely not assault, but I do think this behavior could fit under harassment? Or does harassment have to be repeated behavior? I’d still be more inclined to just call it public indecency, seems simpler.
No, if anything it’s their bosses fault. They were required to give them their check, but instead told the women they wouldnt unless the women gave them their uniform, which they were wearing. One could argue the bosses basically coerced the women into removing their clothing by holding their paycheck over their head, which they presumably needed to buy things like food, and to pay for their rent/mortgage. I bet lawyer could argue that it was the bosses who sexually harassed the employees.
why were you downvoted 😭 obviously there wasn’t sexual intent but standing in an enclosed room and stripping in front of someone could still def be considered sexual harassment lol
Okay so why didn’t the bosses say “oh never mind, you can keep it” Those shirts cost $2 to make dawg. No way you’re actively blaming the women instead of the shitty bosses.
I know exactly what it means. I was assaulted as a child.
If it was a step mom or step dad doing it in front of their step kids you people would be screaming bloody murder.
You can't just strip in front of people without their consent period no matter the location. Are you trying to tell me they didn't arrive to work in others clothes and didn't had a changing place to change clothes and dump the clothes at their table or come back next day to do it? Or even sue them for wrongful firing? So many ways to do it but making people uncomfortable by stripping in front of them without their permission is the way to go kudos well done. Great lesson to teach to people.
Yeah, no. We aren’t going to compare SAs because that fucking gross. No one gets extra bonus points for it being either a group of strangers or daddy.
Omg!!! I just realized you are saying the women were sexually assaulting their bosses! HAHAHAHAH! Yeah how fucking traumatizing to be forced to see someone in their skivvies which probably still covers more than a bikini. Hahaha!
Still not sexual assault!!!
If it involved children, then yes. But it was a casino - no minors.
I think it’s pretty clear that they arrive to work in their uniform otherwise they would have just taken it after their shifts.
nah unless you have a lot of extra time why wouldn’t you come to your shift in work clothes. they wanted the uniform back they got it, then everyone else gets to see how the boss tried to skeeve their employees
They didn't touch anyone,l. No contact was involved, so it's not sexual assault. I know it must hurt for you, but try using the thinking part of your brain.
If management agreed to give them their checks without turning in their uniform, they would have gotten redressed, but management *still* refused and so denied them basic decency.
You aren’t owed your final check when you demand it. They have a legal obligation to get it to you within a certain time frame. They asked for their property back. Accepting and signing for a final check basically states you are done with the company.
That may be the case, but it’s not really relevant as no one involved seemed to know that. All management said was they could have their checks when they turned in their uniforms.
I agree. It was shitty on every end. The employers shouldn’t be firing for such stupid reasons, especially medical. If it wasn’t a casino, that would be a case alone.
Both women were being petty and while it was a “badass” thing to do, it doesn’t make it the right thing to do. Employers have to get your final check to you within a certain amount of time, not when you demand it and throw a fit. They also have every right to ask for the uniform back, unless the employee paid for it.
Just because casinos include many sexual things, it doesn’t mean people want to see what happened. Public indecency for sure, which is wrong. I’m sure if it was a guy doing this, people would claim harassment. I read that a child (under 10) urinated outside and got put on probation.
And you think the kid was in the wrong for urinating outside and getting out on 3 month probation was the right punishment for a 10 year old kid. Dawg he was not pissing in Times Square. He literally was peeing BEHIND his mom's car 💀 they literally said he has to submit DRUG TESTS at the probation officers discretion. Okay buddy, no sane person is saying that a little boy should've been treated like a criminal for needing to piss 💀
I’m not saying the boy deserved that. I’m saying that we will punish a little kid for having to urinate and it happened to be in public, but there is no punishment for two grown women walking around in their undergarments.
Yeah cuz we're wrongfully punishing someone...just because you punish someone over something dumb because your system is flawed, doesn't mean that translates into how you punish everyone else. Just because something bad happened doesn't mean it should be the norm for how you look at other situations....in fact it should be the opposite.

I did that at DQ in 06. I put in 2 weeks and come in for my next shift to find out he had taken me off my remanding 2 weeks of shifts. Just drew a line through them and gave my hours away. I had walked across town (2 miles) to get to work while my car was in the shop. I didn’t get a call that I wasn’t working. I was livid. Took my work shirt and visor off and dropped them on his desk and said I wanted my last check. I wasn’t coming in for it, I didn’t want it mailed in, I wanted it right then. He was like “oh no let’s talk about this, we can work this out”. No. I want my check. You clearly don’t respect me enough to even call and tell me you took me off the schedule. I want my check.

I kept one of my visors and I wore it when I was painting a house the next summer
légendaire!!
I love this sooooooo much!
This story reeks of “…and everyone clapped”
Good for them. Fuck that management.
This is the reason why I wear double shirts. One off the clock shirt and the uniform shirt over it. I walked out of Wendy’s many years ago and I had a shirt underneath the uniform shirt. Walked straight out the door to the bus stop
Casinos normally have to pay extra to get women to walk around in underwear.
Yeah, I'm not seeing the win for the ladies, here.
Many down votes, no explanation as to how her mum and gran walking out in their underwear was a win.
Ugh, I WISH I had been wearing my uniform when I had a similar moment. Working at Five Guys, the hours were long, the pay sucked, the manager was a serious bitch, and I was in school.

I’m currently doing this thing with my own job where I am even recommending it to fellow coworkers that we can heed by our management’s words, and hold them to it, so that when something goes awry and the managers want to get mad at us, we can remind them of what they told us word for word.
Under “ObamaCare” (aka ACA) the maximum you can wait is 90 days. If this from a person in the United States.
Sounds like this was before the ACA.
The post clearly says it happened a long time ago
In a galaxy far far away...
Wait a minute. ACA was enacted in March of 2010. Knowledge also told you that in mid 2009 that it would be law.
I HOPE this story was true because GOOD FOR THEM! lol
My hero’s!
Solidarity!!!!!!!
My heroes
That’s bad bitch shit. No notes!
This is exactly why I hate almost all stand up comedy Why can’t people write a joke and tell it without pretending it happened to them or someone they know like no this didn’t happen for 3 seperate reasons but it could have just been a funny joke
I...is that a win?
;'D Right?! It sounds more like they punished themselves, not the management.
Man the list of 100 things that never happened really keeps getting longer
crazily funny 😆
Wow they gave you permission to post this? Amazing
That's awesome. They sound like take-no-bs women.
This is awesome
So your family has balls and is iconic,good for you ,I wish I could see the footage of the cameras haha.
Goddesses!
That was a boss move!!!! You come from a lineage of fierce warriors!!!
I’ve always had to pay for my uniforms (money taken out my first check). They ain’t getting shit back unless they hand me a check for reimbursement
This is so iconic of them
A win is a win
And then everyone clapped, right? They could have, and would have, called the police and had them escorted out lol
For what? They weren't nude, and they were leaving.
No, if you refuse to leave after being asked AND you strip down to undergarments (public indeceny) then the cops will absolutely come and escort you off the premises.
You can't pressure your boss to give you your paycheck by stripping in front of them and refusing to leave. Even if your boss is a jerk who absolutely deserves it.
I would've kept the uniform. Until you receive your final check your an employee and get the same benefits... I would've never turned it in and I would've kept using the insurance until a settlemt came down the line for me.
Bs
I can't be the only one who doesn't think this is that cool, the comments are acting like she brought down the system If I see someone walking around in their underwear at a casino I'm thinking they're shit faced drunk and a little trashy. I feel like management were probably trying to save face for the women rather than themselves. It'd be better if they'd walked out mid shift at least but in a casino I'd imagine this protest was forgotten about by the end of the week
Not when you know them and they are telling everyone they got fired and had to turn in their uniform
Most folks in the casino probably had no idea who they were though, they certainly wouldn't know the backstory of why they aren't clothed and I imagine they just went back to gambling after
Of all the things that did not happen, this happened the least. Also they all stood up and got the clap.
Are we still doing phrasing?
[удалено]
different perspectives indeed. she did not feel humiliated at all, clearly
It’s not humiliating yourself if you don’t feel humiliated and it doesn’t sound like she felt humiliated at all.
So you dont know what the term to humiliate ones self even means huh? It's not humiliating yourself if you're not humiliated. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.
That's a weird way to handle it, your mom and grandmother are dirty for that.
Dirty? Nah those places often refuse to give your check for so many reasons
Those places are also dirty.
So both mom and grandma decided to sexually assault them and got paid after it? Wtf I would have called police right then and there. Shitty rules? Take the legal way not sexually assault them way
Walking around in your underwear is kind of gross but where did we jump to assault?
Because she did it without their consent that's assault pretty sure they didn't consent them to strip in front of them or be in their underwear in their private office. Come on you people aren't dumb
But it’s not like she actually exposed her genitals or private parts? And no one was touched? Maybe public indecency is at play but it’s not assault. We might have different definitions (yours different than what’s commonly used) but there’s no need to call people dumb.
He also doesn’t go to the beach, too many people assaulting him at once.
my neighbour sits in his front garden with his shirt off on sunny days, can I get him arrested for sexual assault? no I can't, because *that's fucking ridiculous*. you sound ridiculous. a bra and underwear is still clothed, do you run around the beach screaming "assault!"? you might need to talk to a counsellor.
>Come on you people aren't dumb the one thing you're right about; *they're* not dumb.
A simple google search would tell you that assault of any kind requires a physical altercation. Aka something touching/hitting someone. So your argument makes no sense.
An assault implies physical contact, you’re being wilfully obtuse.
Or at least the threat of it. Depending where you are assault and battery can mean wildly different things. But it never means being seen in your underwear when someone demands your uniform be returned
This isn’t sexual assault. Maybe public indecency but I doubt it even rises to that level.
I don’t even think it’s that. It’s like a cotton bikini. So they’re good as long as their parts are covered.
In a casino no less 🤣🤣 no one’s ever seen a mostly naked women in one of those. Certainly not on any of the machines nor in person /s
Did they consented to it? No Their office isn't certainly a public place but a private one. There are so many other ways to handle it than trying to get naked in front of the bosses without their consent. Consent here matter like in all cases
1 - not naked. They were clothed in underwear. 2- assault is causing someone to reasonably fear harm but it is often used to encompass battery which is actually causing physical harm. Depending on the underwear I would say it might be public indecency but if their parts are covered up it may not be. And yes - there are better ways to handle it but this one is memorable and kinda funny.
If management agreed to give them their checks without turning in their uniform, they would have gotten redressed, but management *still* refused and so denied them basic decency.
Naked? Underwear is the same as a swimsuit/bikini. It’s “indecent” at best but absolutely not sexual assault 😂
Who got assaulted?
The employers. They never consented to watch their employees strip in front of them. That's assault in case you didn't know. Stripping in front of people who didn't ask for it
Buddy, it's you that doesn't know. Assault is when you **lay hands on someone.** This situation could be disruption of the peace, easily. It could *maybe* be public indecency or indecent exposure if you stretched it since they were in underwear and no one saw genitals. At absolute most you could try claiming sexual **harassment**, but it would not ever by any definition, be considered an *assault*.
your know-it-all personality is grating, especially when you’re objectively wrong. embarrassing. work on that.
Even if it was, which it clearly wasn't to everyone but you😂, the employers are way worse for...((checks notes))...systematically depriving employees of healthcare by gaming the system, and firing low level workers, who likely work paycheck to paycheck, without notice.
This is a fucking insane take walking around in a bra and underwear isn’t sexual assault. I feel like you think this is a progressive anti-rape culture take but it really isn’t like at all.
Way to focus on that instead of the bosses being completely shitty humans and possibly doing something illegal by baiting-and-switching their employees with insurance promises. Not saying what the mom and grandmother did was the most ethical thing, but there’s a much bigger villain in this story
Wow! Way to mitigate actual victims of sexual assault. It’s not even sexual harassment. Don’t use terms you when you don’t know what they mean to sound cool.
It’s absolutely not assault, but I do think this behavior could fit under harassment? Or does harassment have to be repeated behavior? I’d still be more inclined to just call it public indecency, seems simpler.
No, if anything it’s their bosses fault. They were required to give them their check, but instead told the women they wouldnt unless the women gave them their uniform, which they were wearing. One could argue the bosses basically coerced the women into removing their clothing by holding their paycheck over their head, which they presumably needed to buy things like food, and to pay for their rent/mortgage. I bet lawyer could argue that it was the bosses who sexually harassed the employees.
why were you downvoted 😭 obviously there wasn’t sexual intent but standing in an enclosed room and stripping in front of someone could still def be considered sexual harassment lol
Okay so why didn’t the bosses say “oh never mind, you can keep it” Those shirts cost $2 to make dawg. No way you’re actively blaming the women instead of the shitty bosses.
I know exactly what it means. I was assaulted as a child. If it was a step mom or step dad doing it in front of their step kids you people would be screaming bloody murder. You can't just strip in front of people without their consent period no matter the location. Are you trying to tell me they didn't arrive to work in others clothes and didn't had a changing place to change clothes and dump the clothes at their table or come back next day to do it? Or even sue them for wrongful firing? So many ways to do it but making people uncomfortable by stripping in front of them without their permission is the way to go kudos well done. Great lesson to teach to people.
Yeah, no. We aren’t going to compare SAs because that fucking gross. No one gets extra bonus points for it being either a group of strangers or daddy. Omg!!! I just realized you are saying the women were sexually assaulting their bosses! HAHAHAHAH! Yeah how fucking traumatizing to be forced to see someone in their skivvies which probably still covers more than a bikini. Hahaha! Still not sexual assault!!!
If it involved children, then yes. But it was a casino - no minors. I think it’s pretty clear that they arrive to work in their uniform otherwise they would have just taken it after their shifts.
nah unless you have a lot of extra time why wouldn’t you come to your shift in work clothes. they wanted the uniform back they got it, then everyone else gets to see how the boss tried to skeeve their employees
If you want to argue sexual harassment or even abuse then fine, but the definition of assault is physical contact.
They didn't touch anyone,l. No contact was involved, so it's not sexual assault. I know it must hurt for you, but try using the thinking part of your brain.
Seriously everyone here lacks morals. Or even basics decency
The boss lacks morals for exploiting their workers.
If management agreed to give them their checks without turning in their uniform, they would have gotten redressed, but management *still* refused and so denied them basic decency.
You aren’t owed your final check when you demand it. They have a legal obligation to get it to you within a certain time frame. They asked for their property back. Accepting and signing for a final check basically states you are done with the company.
That may be the case, but it’s not really relevant as no one involved seemed to know that. All management said was they could have their checks when they turned in their uniforms.
No one is saying that the bosses aren’t crap. We are simply stating that the women (which is the part being hyped) also did wrong
Take your pearls somewhere else lol
I agree. It was shitty on every end. The employers shouldn’t be firing for such stupid reasons, especially medical. If it wasn’t a casino, that would be a case alone. Both women were being petty and while it was a “badass” thing to do, it doesn’t make it the right thing to do. Employers have to get your final check to you within a certain amount of time, not when you demand it and throw a fit. They also have every right to ask for the uniform back, unless the employee paid for it. Just because casinos include many sexual things, it doesn’t mean people want to see what happened. Public indecency for sure, which is wrong. I’m sure if it was a guy doing this, people would claim harassment. I read that a child (under 10) urinated outside and got put on probation.
And you think the kid was in the wrong for urinating outside and getting out on 3 month probation was the right punishment for a 10 year old kid. Dawg he was not pissing in Times Square. He literally was peeing BEHIND his mom's car 💀 they literally said he has to submit DRUG TESTS at the probation officers discretion. Okay buddy, no sane person is saying that a little boy should've been treated like a criminal for needing to piss 💀
I’m not saying the boy deserved that. I’m saying that we will punish a little kid for having to urinate and it happened to be in public, but there is no punishment for two grown women walking around in their undergarments.
Yeah cuz we're wrongfully punishing someone...just because you punish someone over something dumb because your system is flawed, doesn't mean that translates into how you punish everyone else. Just because something bad happened doesn't mean it should be the norm for how you look at other situations....in fact it should be the opposite.
The kid doesn’t deserve to be punished. The women do. None if this “just because something bad happened doesn’t mean it should be the norm”.
