Brooklyn resident Jorinda Sullivan is suing her former employer, Mindpearl, a customer-service company. She says she was fired for wearing too much perfume.
Today’s New York Post reports that Sullivan was asked to wear a different kind of perfume after several company complaints–and she did. Despite making the switch, she was allegedly interrogated by her employers, who asked intimate questions about her personal hygiene.
Depending how you look at it, this is either a great precedent or a bad one. If there’s an annoying woman in the cube behind yours who always reeks of Charlie, this is the time to show this article to your boss. But if you believe in workplace rights that keep your boss from inquring about the brand of deodorant you use, keep your fingers crossed that Sullivan wins her case.
This lawsuit itself stinks. Does anyone here know the fact that the company she is suing has an African American owner? She was fired for poor customer service not poor hygiene. I hope they laugh her out of the courtroom when she claims racism against another African American
Red Door reeks! No wonder they fired her!!
