In reply to the discussion: Female Cuomo staffers say they were pressured to wear makeup, heels, and dresses to please the gover [View all]Karma13612
(4,555 posts)But, I hope the investigation includes looking at the female aides that also encouraged and pressured the lower-level staffers to dress a certain way.
Female aides pressured staff as well. I hate this.
Why didnt people go to HR? I understand that getting a job in the Govs office was a huge opportunity. But, if you dont like something, SPEAK UP.
Many companies years ago expected women to dress for success. That included heels, proper dresses and makeup. Later we were allowed to wear business casual including slacks. We only had Jeans Friday.
But another huge point: I worked in a large international advertising agency in Stamford CT in the late 80s to 2000. During that time, with workplace sexual harassment claims beginning to mount, our company had MANDATORY Sexual Harassment Awareness Seminars for all male staff. It was abundantly clear that the behaviour needed to change.
That was 30 years ago and Cuomo would have been in his 30s. He should know better. I cant believe we are still dealing with all this stuff.
But, I want an investigation. He should not be railroaded out.
