Being a female boss is the most challenging thing.
We have always appreciated and encouraged women working in any field but we have to accept that being a woman boss is not easy. People would always judge your professional skills. They would always try to belittle you but the queens know how to deal with such people professionally. A Reddit user shared that she was the only woman in her company where she has been working for 6 years. Recently, the company hired two other women under OP. OP was their superior but never treated them like a boss but has always treated them like colleagues. She has always dressed up fine and none of her bosses had any problems with the way she dresses up. One day, Angie told her that her attire looks a little slu*ty and that it is not appropriate for the office. OP discussed this issue with her VP and Angie got a warning. Scroll down for the complete story.

Companies have a zero-tolerance harassment policy for a reason and what Angie did was clearly harassment. Whether it is a man or a woman, no one has the right to comment on any other person’s office attire.
10. Seems like Angie is just jealous of OP and she blamed it on the office attire.

11. If a man would have said all of this to OP, she would have seen it as sexual harassment. OP should report it to her HR and get rid of Angie.

12. OP should talk to Angie because if she can badmouth OP to Katie, she must be doing it with others too.
