Jesus Christ. People need to get over nipples. Everyone has them. The people who are uncomfortable are the ones that need to deal with their own issues.

Omg!!! If she was distracted by your nipples then SHE has the issue not you. Tell HR that you feel sexualized and would like to lodge a counter complaint.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

I'm female btw.

likefunnysmartuplifting

I was going to say the same thing - turn it around and say that after thinking about it, you feel victimized by her specializing you. That is so absurd (F here).

She’s distressed. I’d be aroused.

She's aroused, thus the distress

That’s insane.

So did you have to go change your shirt or tape em down?

I'm assuming she reported you for the same reason that men get offended by attractive women and their "revealing" outfits -

Because she found you attractive and then she was ashamed of her attraction.

And then she wanted to punish you for it instead of examining and controlling her own feelings.

smart

OP, any HR updates on this?

Omg Op. you were wearing a company logo polo?! I missed that detail. That makes her claim even more absurd.

Omg. I’m really sorry but I find this hilarious.

Seriously?!?! Too bad HR could not explain to your female coworker that when she is cold you might be uncomfortable with her nipples showing. Having been the Director of HR in a previous adventure, I think this should have been handled in a different manner.

Is the person who reported you vindictive? (I don’t know why Hr would tell you who reported you but sounds like you know) I’d just be careful around this person, & start noting everything she does to you to keep a record

omg lol… need to send work her way so she stop staring at other people’s nipples and complain about them

Was it an old lady?

Tell HR you need the AC turned down...

I did check the date, but April Fools Day has definitely been and gone. If this is real, then we need to change the HR team immediately because things have gone way too far!
