Being a boss is always challenging, but being a woman boss... It brings it to a whole new level of demanding jobs, especially if you have some insecure people beneath you.

The Redditor user, who goes by the name u/OfficeInappropriate, told her story and asked whether she was right to do so. Hear her story and help her solve the issue.

She has been with the company for six years. Recently they hired two more women as the company is growing.

She is the boss of both of them, one in her early 20s and another in her middle 50s. They are great coworkers, and the OP treats them as if they are friends, not as if she is their supervisor.

But her kindness was misunderstood, and the woman in her 50s gave herself the right to gossip and humiliate her. She didn't even realize what was wrong with her malicious comments and rumors.

And she is also damn sure that she had the right to judge others without being asked to do so. So she caused a strange situation by telling her boss she wears slutty outfits and that she has the job only for her good-body-looking.

Her arrogant attitude and inappropriate arguments were extremely rude and demanded certain measures to be taken. But the OP had explained her whole story below, and she wanted to know if this woman's disrespectful comments were true.

The actual question:

The OP gave us an introduction to the story so we could consider all facts:

Here is an example of her usual outfits.

The new colleagues and their mutual relationship.

And here was the problem, but it wasn't all...

The woman continued her inappropriate critiques.

The OP was very offended because the woman humiliated her professional skills also.

And she was wondering should she change her regular outfits?

It definitely is.

It could be insecurity, jealousy, or just rudeness, but it needs to be stopped.

"Get rid of her toxic old fashioned judgmental energy"

There must be some boundaries and respect among employees, she doesn't have the right to behave like that.

Saying that she has her job because of her body looking is way too much.

But you can never be sure what's on her mind and where her rudeness could take her.

Exactly this:

At least a verbal warning.

There is nothing inappropriate with her sandals.

Angie seems to overestimate herself.

"There can only be one Alpha Female in a man's world"

They are surely better colleagues than some grumpy woman.

After this advice, the OP took the next step regarding her concerns:

And she had decided how to stop Angie's bad influence.

After you had heard the whole story, would you tell us your opinion about OP's outfits? She decided how to stop Angie's inappropriate comments, but she is still wondering whether her outfit is right.

We are also interested in how you would deal with this situation? Please share your thoughts in the comment section below. We look forward to hearing from you.
