Boss Called Her Headscarf ‘Unprofessional’ So She Started Coming To Work In Cosplay
I was never a big fan of a formal dress code at work, so I felt almost a sense of victory when I saw how June J. Rivas turned the situation completely around when confronted by her boss about an “unprofessional” working outfit.
“ So my boss didn’t like me wearing my hair in a ponytail every day, ” June wrote on Facebook. “ Nor my hair in a scarf. “Unprofessional”. Nor my hair in pigtails. “Unprofessional”. So I filed a harassment complaint against her as our contract states “no dress code. just be clean and pressed”. ” Then her boss even revised the dress code adding restrictions to all of the above plus straps, hats, sandals, cleavage, “ and even (and I quote) “cultural head wraps “.”
Lucky for June, in the new guidelines there wasn’t a single line about cosplay. So she made the most of it.

“I have come to work each day in an outfit that fits the guidelines,” wrote Rivas
