Chels	what the HLL kind of an office do you work in? I would have taken WAY more than $8,000 from pig of a boss when i sued his a* in court ---- good lord, topless? I would be distracted and i am a female! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Bill	You are kidding, right? If you are not this is a blatent sexual harrassment case. Call an attorney specializing in employment and/or sexual harrassment. I have trouble believing this is valid question. If it is, your boss has either a severe mental problem or is completely delusional. This is nuts. I also suspect your mental capacity if this is real if you don't realize the situation. Mind you, I wouldn't mind at all working in a topless environment but it is far from reality and good social/business morals (unless in a legal topless bar, etc where it is entertainment for paying customers). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

amysgetaways	Unless you are working in the adult entertainment industry, this is a clear case of harassment. The amount of your salary increase should not be different from the other girls, just because you said no. It doesn't matter that you said it was okay for the girls to go around topless, and the others are okay with being topless. I would talk to a lawyer, even if you do work in the adult industry, it may still be a case of harassment. I would also find another job, sounds like you are working for a pig. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Eternalsilence	NO! I don't know the whole story but I would be looking for a new job. I didn't even know that things like that actually went on. Yikes! I feel sad that you have to work there!! That is degrading! All the best Sweetie! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sanjaya_blows	either way, it's still sexual harassment since sexual harassment is any unwanted/unwelcomed behavior. since he is exploiting you and making you feel uncomfortable in regards to working topless, i would take it to authorities. even if you lose your job, it's the right an moral thing to do. why should perverts like this get away with running businesses and messing up other people's lives? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

oklatom	Those of you yelling that this is illegal and sexual harassment need to read the law a bit before you give your opinion on it, because you are completely wrong. An employer can put any requirements on a job he pleases as long as it's not illegal or life threatening, and it's not illegal to be topless, nor is it life threatening. Obviously you don't mind since you told him you didn't care if the others were topless. Sexual harassment has to be unwanted sexual harassment and you have already said 1. it doesn't bother you, and 2. there is no sexual touching.
