Female Cuomo staffers say they were pressured to wear makeup, heels, and dresses to please the gover

53. Okay. True story time. I worked for a major tech company for 30 years.

There was a strict dress code for both men and women, who worked or were seen by customers.
After being in management for a number of years, I took a 'staff' position, as a step up the corporate ladder. Then there was a major reorganization of the entire non-manufacturing side.
I was called into my male manager's office and told a couple of things. First, I was told never to wear a matching skirt and blouse, made in a demin blue colored cotton, that had a western look (we were in Texas). Then, I was told that I didn't have the 'look' to continue in management under the new organization. My hair style wasn't right and I didn't wear enough makeup and, get this, I wasn't tall enough!
I was so embarrassed and went to the ladies' room and cried. I could hardly participate in meetings with my manager, whom I had considered a friend.
About six months later, I left management for good and took a technical position, stayed on another 12 years, and got my full retirement.
Never knew that was sexual harassment.
