Fired for being too hot??

[Hammy71]

Interesting story. I can see that she would surely be a distraction at the work place, but if the story is true....she's got a big pay check coming. Be sure to click the additional pics of her that are available, not a one is slutty or trashy....

She's pretty but I don't see anything all that spectacular there. To each their own I guess.

It's basically a he-said, she-said. Which means who ever has the better documentation will win.

BTW, ladies if you are being harassed at work, there are a lot of MP3 recorders that record quality audio even if they are stuffed inside a bra. My wife had to do this at work once.

Depending on your state's law, it may or may not be admissible is court. But if you are going for arbitration or a settlement, it can help.

Dude that chick's a MILF!

Be careful with that. It is legal here in GA, but in some states you can go to jail for that.

Yeah, she's going to get a lot of money from the bank...:rockin:

 

[dougf]

I would get ZERO work done

Any one else have a problem with this?

Because Citibank made Lorenzana sign a mandatory-arbitration clause as a condition of her employment, the case will never end up before a jury or judge. An arbitrator will decide.

 

[Beernik]

When I was researching it, I don't remember any states where you would go to jail for audio recording someone without thier knowledge unless the intent is to blackmail. In my wife's case, she was in case of mounting a civil defense.

Most state laws say only one person in the conversation needs to be aware of the recording for it to be admissible in court. In other states everyone needs to know about the recording for it to be admissible.

Companies can require arbitration for dispute resolution as a condition of employement or doing business. But it only extends to civil disputes. Companies do it because arbitration is faster and cheaper than going to court.

Personally, I think it is reprehensible if they are firing her over her looks rather than over her performance. That being said, a private business should be able to hire and fire at whim, whether the grounds are capricious or otherwise. The government and legal system has no business intervening.

If she did not want to sign an arbitration clause to get hired, she could have chose to find a job elsewhere. Employment is a consensual agreement among private parties.

You asked, lol. :cross:

To a point, currently there are far more people seeking employment versus jobs available. When it comes down to it, you require the income. Should a company want to, they could bend well qualified people over the barrel and have them wave what ever rights they may have just because they hold a high valued and limited commodity, jobs.

I agree with both of you really, but if an employer screws over good employee while the economy is bad they will lose a lot when it is better. That is never good for a company.

Why is she working at a bank when she can obviously be a model...

 

[maskednegator]

Maybe she enjoys using her brain? Shocking, I am aware.

 

[pipapat]

all i know is she is smoking and i would have kept her around for it.

 

[Domminigan]

I have better looking women where I work.

 

[TheMan]

This publicity will probably get her a job modeling somewhere.

Same reason the former Miss Nevada I worked in Las Vegas with kept her day job at the environmental lab; she enjoyed using her education (MS Chemical Engineering) and the money was better. Modeling only pays well at the very top of the pile.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

She looks good. Of that there is no doubt. But not so good I'd stumble into the cooler when she passes by.

She prolly thinks too highly of herself. And of course she'll win a settlement. those who have legitament cases always lose. BS like this, settles for millions.

 

[Scooby_Brew]

Bottom line: she will never be able to prove that she got fired because she is hot. She has no case. People get fired because they are too old, have sick kids or spouses, or they get sick themselves etc, all the time, but the reason given for firing is always the same: poor job performance. You can make up anything you want and put it down as "poor job performance". So unless they admitted on paper that they fired her because "she is too hot" (which of course they didn't), she has no case.
Whoever her lawyer is, he is simply lying to her. I wonder why? Probably because she is hot!

 

[weirdboy]

If she gets fired for poor job performance, then they ought to have performance reviews that she signed stating such.
