A maybe cute story. The year 1971. The place the credit card processing dept of a major bank. One of the more comely clerks comes to work wearing a see through blouse and no bra. Dept. Manager calls all subordinate managers to conference room where we discuss what we can do about the "tittie" distraction. It's suggested she be told to change her blouse with something less provocative, HR tells us, without seeing the clerk, we can't dictate work clothes. HR is not told woman is wearing a see through blouse and no bra because "men shouldn't talk sex with women" (HT person is a female). Conclusion we can't do anything except ignore her. All men (all men are part of management, no women are part of management) are to give "Bettie" a wide path and not to speak with her one on one.
As the day wears on Bettie has to talk with her manager to have error judgements approved. Every time she goes to her boss' desk he jumps up and runs for the nearest male, asking him to sit in on the 3 second meeting. After this has happened a few times Bettie catches on to what is happening and spends the balance of her day going from sub. manager to sub. manager on onr pretense or another. This results in guys jumping up and chasing each other for back up so they can address Bettie's inquiry. Maybe you had to be there, but it was falling down funny.
