Is cleavage at work a distraction?

OOPs i meant womeN*

womem should not be sex items! period.

they have souls too you kno! now make me a sammich =P

Sometimes when we have schools down at the shelter, we have Qatari girls arriving in their platforms, smart dresses, covered by abhaya... it got so bad that now when we make the bookings we give the teachers a rundown of what they must wear - abhaya is fine, but we insist on jeans and sportshoes...

Have you ever seen someone in platforms trying to walk a dog over very rocky area.... its quite a giggle....

@brit - yah...these half bosses do not promote and ignore these women in office because they more like to do it after office (personal involvement)...u see!!

hi Edifis...Doha misses u, me too.

It is a distraction and people should dress professionally. In our office it is a bit funny at the moment with two females looking to outdo each other in terms of provocative dressing. Something to look forward to everyday, who will look hotter today :-P

"UBS has issued branch staff in its home-market with a 44-page document that contains an extensive list of edicts including flesh-toned underwear for female employees and a ban on patterned socks for men."

Brit you want to see 3/4 th of the significant breast?

Any "positions" open at your place ?

and there was a buxom young nurse who was often seen at work with her shirt unbuttoned and breasts peeping out..

the senior doctor finally issued a memo in the hospital requesting all interns to maintain good house-keeping and keep things back in their proper places after use..

Happygolucky

do U care to elaborate the Package above and below?

cleavage? my co-worker is dressed up rather wierd most of the time. Her tops are ridiculously open, so that you can see straps of her bra..and as nomerci noticed, 3/4 of her significant breasts are hanging out.. and you are talking about 'cleavage' :).. or she appears at the office in rather beach outfit (pants capris and t-shirt).. but...she uses her 'features' in other places for the business' sake, so the boss is keeping mouth shut...

I personally cannot respect people who are dressed inappropriate , irrelevant to the occasion/situation. It looks equally ridiculous when the girl in the nigh club is fully covered, so that her the blouse is buttoned to the end, up to her neck... or when the girl is visiting local supermarket, wearing full makeup, mini-skirt, evening top and high-heels shiny shoes.. or when people are wearing jeans in the theatre... or when ladies are hiking in abbayas... or when they are dressed like hookers at the offices.. One has to have a sense of what is appropriate in this or that situation, that's all..

I wonder why all women in Saudi look the same!

LOL jack back cleavage is hairy especially for males

Lol... UK.... I dont show cleavage... yanni back cleavage ;)

Has someone hacked Jackmohans QL ID..He seems to be acting strangely lately..

lol FS..:)

Lol... FS...

jack..louder plz....cant hear you...lol

It doesn't distract a man of character.... like me ;)

someone told tat a cleavage can turn a man into a werewolf????

Some women use the cleavage to keep money.

Most of the little Asian girls dont have much to show in our office..I demand a transfer..:)

EMC-12, its how you look at and react to things..i appreciate everything beautiful which meets the eye, at work or at leisure..

if fashion photographers dont get distracted in their work looking at bare feminine shapes, why should we??

just think about it..

rishimba...great way of seeing it at a different angle...made me laugh...which work is it a major attraction to?..upper or lower head?

Not surprised the first comment was by TLS.

Rishi, does this happen in NDIA..... if it does then this is the major reason of delay in the opening of first phase... ;)

in this place.. don't wear such clothes. men here doesn't usually see cleavage everyday and they turn to animals once they've seen one.. lolz.

cleavage a distraction at work?? on the contrary its a major attraction to work..:)

its not necessary to dress like a hooker if u want to show ur cleavage some ladies wear executive dress and just unbutton the first three or two buttons of their shirt. and the rest can be explained by ladies who work in organisations.

aint it a better environment to have nice view during work. true, Zis ladies get ahead in everything specially those who give their bosses a head......

so the moral of the story is "NEVER DRESS LIKE A HOOKER"

Unless you are a hooker.

nomerci, maybe some of them has worked in a totally different setting, not in an office... ;)

so the moral of the story is "NEVER DRESS LIKE A HOOKER"

There is a place for everything. and cleavage has no place at work, IMHO. I have to say though, I went to a few offices here in Doha...and Oh Dear! What some women wear, it is pathetic, no other words for it. Very large behinds clad in skin tight spandex, boobs almost hanging out, more make up than a circus clown...yes, those were women working in offices here...not hookers.

And they think they look great! why? Well, good question...maybe somebody is able to answer that question...I for sure am not.

@happy yes

AK...only cleavage to hubby & BF????

FS... for them I would give a raise just like that...:)

if i was a girl i would have shown my clevage to my hubby or BF

happy... guess you dont have any labanese ladies around...

there was one lady here maybe in her mid 40s...there is nothing left for us to imagine...after the dress code circular issued..she got fired...lol

pilgram...I was almost goin to stalk you...you disappointed me..:(

Just went around a few offices to see if I would get distracted and would consider those women for a raise, considering myself being their boss... well, though I got distracted for sure but wouldnt consider them for a raise... the package below and above wasnt good enough...:)

LOL FS, I don't wear short skirts to the mall much less work!

I actually can't believe they took the time out to do a survey on this! lol

pilgram do you wear short skirts to work?... :)

As per the article, it seems clear that "some" women will use their features to try an move forward in the organization.

However, it is a double edged sword and can lead to ridicule from male and female colleagues - overshadowing the actual skills of the person..

Depends asif, how sexy are your legs? And more importantly how do you look in a pair of 7 inch pumps?

@pilgram tat means if i show my legs to my boss will i get a pay rise or a promotion?????

I tried showing a little more cleavage, and my bosses do indeed keep staring at it, but so far no pay rise.

I don't think, and the article agrees, that showing too much cleavage gets women ahead. At least not in the Western world. Women have been in the work place long enough and been held as equals long enough now that bosses would view a woman who exposes herself too much the same as they would a man who dresses sloppily (or shows to much leg ;) )

lol edifis... check PM.. :P

What is cleavage at work?

I have heard about women working.......men working.... but a cleavage working is a new idea! If it is true may be it will increase the productivity of the women and will lead to a more successful career.

cleavage at work is tantamount to breach of professionalism.

not really i work better when beatiful woman is there to get her attention!

i wonder why ladies get job sooner than men and get promoted easily thats bcoze of "magical clevage"

As professionals u should know what to wear wherever u are,,.:)

Do you even need to ask? I'm a woman and I get distracted too. A professional should wear suitable clothes at work.

LOOKs won't do all the magic now..Brain will surely take over.If the big boss really do care for the business then he'll be smart enough whether to put a brainless-cleavage-woman to the pedestal nor to put a brainy woman instead who would surely excell & make better work for the company..

Men are not that stupid now,though they're still attracted to cleavage..

Well,in the office where i work,i wear abaya even if i'm not muslim..:)

lol qhris!

the less said the better

When women are around I always do my breast work.

Sorry, i mean best work.

RACHEL JOHNSON says .."I’ve certainly used it to get ahead at work - and I’d recommend any other ambitious woman to do the same."

So, it must work.....

Does it show that teh woman is more confident in herself and her body ?

So, do you believe that it helps her get promotion / pay rise at work ..

or

Is she doing herself harm by dressing like this ?

women like to share coz it helps them in maintaining the illicit relationships with the bosses & colleagues to get benefits!

nothing to loossse.....

the woman like to share and and man welcome to enjoy the view...

women knows by act of showing cleavage will lead them toward cycles of promotions, what man wants!

I don't think it's a distraction but I do agree with not promoting women who try and use their sex appeal to get ahead. Ditto with men.

lol at Liz Jones' pic... that doesn't look like there's much cleavage.. or maybe she meant when she was younger.. :P

Sorry.. DP...

Please ignore this...

One of my Egyptian co-worker(sorry this is not a racist remark)continues to weat very low neck dresses and maximum persons around her always are mail dispatchers or other department heads driver etc for no reasons.That is why even after being in a good post people first avoid to contact her.
