Today, I got to listen to my boss lecture me about professional dress and subtly insinuate that my being on the heavier side top-wise with all the men in the office could be a problem. I've worn turtle necks for the whole two months I've been working there. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, my boss asked me why I wasn't adhering to proper dress code. I pointed out that skinny jeans are in the dress code, to which he replied, "Only if you're skinny." FML
Today, I greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML
Today, a customer told my boss I was too pushy because I asked her what bra size she wears. I work at a lingerie store. I got a stern lecture from my boss. FML
Today, I got called into my manager’s office for wearing “leggings.” They weren’t leggings, they were work pants with a straight leg. I said to her that the other girls wear them in the office. She told me, "But they have a slim figure, you're on the pudgier side and it looks bad. No offense.” FML
Today, my boss wanted to talk to me. Nervous, I went to her office. Turns out that my coworkers talk about me behind my back, and my boss is worried about me. Apparently, I lie about my bad knees, and me wearing black leggings is horrible. Most of them wear sweatpants on a daily basis. FML
Today, after weeks of everyone at work avoiding me, I finally asked my coworker what was up. She informed me, “You’re 350lbs and try to dress like an office siren, it’s pathetic to look at.” FML
Today, I don’t know what to do, my (female) boss just told me that in order to comply with our dress code, I now have to go and tell most of our female employees to cover up their visible cleavage. I'm not the most confident around women, how am I supposed to discuss their boobs with them? FML
Today, a coworker told me I was "fat shaming" them by discussing weight loss with other coworkers. FML
Today, I found out that shorts are inappropriate to wear in the office. If it wasn't the staff-wide meeting or my coworker telling me to change, I've been sitting in the back praying it's time to clock out. FML
Today, my boss pretty much told me that I'm too ugly to meet clients, and should stay in the office doing the paperwork. So basically, I'm a modern day Hunchback of Notre Dame. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

well if your wearing turtle necks everyday then you are doing what you're suppose to being, and if your boss can't help but to bring it up. Then I would go the next manager higher up and tell them that you want file a report, because that is not right what he is saying to you, you're doing all you can and if they can't handle you In a turtle neck then make a report of it. GOOD LUCK OP please do a follow up so we know what the outcome is.

The best time to wear a striped sweater is all the time.. One with a collar turtle neck that's the kind....

Sounds like someone's office needs a visit from Petey the Sexual Harassment Panda.

I sympathize OP I am large breasted as well and its hard to find anything that doesn't show them off, forget business shirts! I would complain higher up about the issue and and explain about what it is like to find things that fit and what you are wearing is appropriate. Goodluck

As someone with really large breasts, I know turtle necks are doing nothing to help you as they make your breats look even fuller, and even some slight cleavage showing would actually be better. Other than that, if you aren't actively insinuating, then it's a problem with the men in the office,

Unless by 'sweater' OP meant crop top with plunging neck line the top isn't inappropriate. Her responsibility is to wear clothing that isn't risque and covers the appropriate parts. She isn't responsible for the men in the office or helping to prevent any 'urges' they may have.

Unfortunately, us wel lb-endowed women have this happen often. Don't put up with that bullshit. Go to HR.

Before anyone goes further in this thread, we should clarify one thing. You are female right?
