Gender Norm Liability: Saleswoman sues Wyndham Vacation Ownership after Being Fired for Dressing Too Manly.
She initially got permission to wear a tie, blazer. and trousers to work, but HR kept asking her if she'd reviewed the company's dress code, complained that her suit was unprofessional, and told her to “observe the (other) ladies” in sales who “uniformly wore dresses or skirts with high heels.”
After she was fired a few months later for being late to work, she sued in Manhattan Federal Court, claiming gender discrimination and seeking $1.5 million in damages.
