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

Well, OP, that's what happens when you only wear turtlenecks and no pants :/

Sadly it's not your breasts that are big and distracting, it's the smallness of their minds, combined with a glaring lack of immaturity on their behalf that is the real issue

Are the turtlenecks possibility too tight? My boobs are pretty big too & clothes shopping can be very frustrating. Also, your boss is an ass.

The unwanted attention definitely sucks when you're just trying to do your job (and the fact that you go there to work and not to distract people may be something worth reminding your boss of), but am I the only person wondering what gender said boss is? Perhaps black turtlenecks with an oversized jacket or something would help in the meantime? Black is supposed to be a slimming colour - and this is advice that I never thought I would give :/

If you are indeed on the heavy side on top, a turtleneck will not make it nonexistent.

Maybe your boss wants you to wear a sack to hide your boobs. Oh & just saying, what the **** is up w american employers?

Maybe he is wanting you to go in the other direction.

I pity your boss that your turtlenecks are causing such a problem for him. It must be hard to live like that, a lower neckline probably has him curled up in a foetal position while sniffling and whimpering.

It's the men's responsibility to control themselves.
