Simply inexcusable.

A PR company with no sense of the PR impact they'd suffer should she decide to go public...

Which is why she wouldn't tell me who they were ...
Yes, they'd suffer but if she made a fuss, so would she

.....oh........

Wasn't the first reference about people in the pay of Russians that came to mind.

Will look out for the pictures of Nige and Aaron in skirts.

In order to get the extra payment, the women have to wear a skirt or dress that's no longer than 5cm from the knee.

How do they prove it? Simple - they send the company a photo.

Questioned on why the company had introduced the "femininity marathon", they answered: "We wanted to brighten up our work days, our team is 70% male. These kinds of campaigns help us switch off, rest. This is a great way to unite the team."

It's ok though. If a woman doesn't feel like doing that, she can always enter the dumpling-making competition.

Apparently, the CEO "...really wants to maintain the female essence in every female employee of the company, so that young women do not have male haircuts, do not change into trousers, so that they engage themselves in handicraft, project all their warmth into raising children."

Would never be allowed if they were in the EU

A friend of mine went for a job interview last week in a smart trouser suit and didn't get the gig because "she wasn't wearing a dress". Apparently, that's not looking professional.

This was in London. In 2019 - although it appears to be 1959 at this company

Hold on. They told her in no uncertain terms that this is the reason she was not considered for the role?

I am prepared to wear a skirt to work if they pay me extra.

What do you do about the cold draughts up the knees though?

I'm not surprised, you're halfway to Scotland.

I once applied for a job in London and got told by the bloke that he was interested but I'd have to shave the beard before he would take me away for "business trips". Lost my interest in the job rapidly.

Pant beard?

I didn't see the email. But, yes, those words were specifically used - whether there were other reasons, I have no idea.

Shameful. On the plus, who would want to work for a company like that. Sounds like she dodged a bullet.

I think it's a disgusting case of exploitation. If they want paying extra, they shouldn't wear a skirt at all.

In preparing a witty reply, I googled for pictures of the world's fattest woman in underwear. But the results were so upsetting that I can't bring myself to share it now.

Now I also have to fear what kind of advertising Google are going to feed me in future.

All my sexist and chauvinistic jokes pale compared to real life

Back in the 70s my wife worked at a dentist in Brighton . The young dentist paid for the nurses and receptionist's uniform and they had to wear very tight hot pants.

My first thought was ‘Italy’, actually disappointed it’s Russia.

Such a weird, backwards place. Still, at least it’s not as bad as the Middle East.

I used to work for EDS many moons ago. Even up to the late 80s all men had to be clean shaven ..... I never got round to seeing if this rule applied to women *cough*
