In reply to the discussion: Add Stephanie Ruhle to the MSNBC women who do not understand a professional attire [View all]procon
(15,805 posts)I worked as an RN for most of my life, I spent years getting an education to earn a professional degree and maintain my licenses and certifications. I dressed for my job as a professional, usually that was scrubs because you can't climb aboard a moving gurney to do CPR in a perky little nurse costume, and it's easier to change when they get covered with bodily fluids. Inevitably, some sweet young thing always arrived for her first day on the job dressed like she was auditioning for a porno shoot, T&A to the max. The lack of professionalism just dragged us all down to that level because the attire was inappropriate for the work at hand and glaringly out of place.
There's a reason men in the journalism profession don't appear on air in Hawaiian shirts or tank tops, yet we have some of their women counterparts who still think it's the 1950s and the only way to advance their career is to look sexy... it's in the Fox News employee handbook.
