You're equating not wearing a bra under a thick wool sweater with being nude? You've already lost the debate.

I worked for a "F500" before. When I was 16 I worked at Radioshack. We wore $15 blue dress shirts and $20 khakis.

The interesting thing is that you're equating your tie policy (which is backed up by a official dress code) with an OP that's only a few sentences. We don't know if they have a dress code. We don't even know if she was hired at-will.

You should probably fantasize about me some other time. And I don't swing that way.

That's just it, though. One can tell if a woman isn't wearing a bra if her breasts are hanging slightly lower than usual, which isn't inappropriate in the least. This continuing assertion that going braless is always inappropriate is ignoring the fact that many women DO go braless in offices every day without incident.

There's no shame in retiring. It's just a forum.
