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?

If there's someone to report it to, definitely do so, but that probably won't change the office behavior. Turtlenecks kind of emphasize boob size even though they hide cleavage. I know of a woman who tried to hide her boobs the same way & ended up getting fired for it (she worked for a very conservative church). I'd recommend a simple tshirt or button-up that has a neckline about an inch below your collarbone, and maybe a baggier waist to lessen the contrast.

Button ups are very bad for large breasted women. Shows a side boob.

I would like to read a follow-up on this one especially I would like to know if the boss is (fe)male. OP also wrote that her boss said that 'it COULD be a problem' so her boss lectured her about something that isn't a problem (yet). My opinion: if the boss didn't say that something really has to change about your appearance (you can also check the work agreement for that) then don't change a thing. If the topic comes up again, just ask the boss what (s)he expects from you.

I'd say your life sucks, but at least you got boobs

Tell your boss that they all need to learn to control themselves. What more can you do if you are already wearing turtlenecks?! Guess you need a boob reduction because grown ass men can't control themselves.

I would have had a discussion with him about the issue and probably would have gotten fired after everything that I would tell him. Hello HR Department.

Turtle necks actually make boobs look bigger
