People do have a terrible habit of only discussing what's shown in the clip being discussed. Especially when other details are literally directly addressed in the film they are from.

Exactly. It's a genuine query for a weird situation, that her colleague just shoots down without even engaging with it. Turned out Erin was absolutely right to follow up on it, of course.

Maybe because that wasn’t the focus of the clip? Watch the movie and you‘ll find out why the files were like that

She was always rude to everyone. No wonder they didn't want to help her.

It still shouldn't make you treat a person differently as a result. Unless a person is wearing a nazi uniform or a shirt that says they diddle kiddies, there is no reason for a grown adult to let their own discomfort change how they behave towards someone different from them. It's what divides people with integrity from those without.

@@mj-rg9kp And? So you abide by stereotypes and allow yourself to be guided by the superficial because you see others do it? Have some self-respect. Evolve.

@@llyn5759I haven’t watched the movie, but from what I’ve gained from this video, the man and other colleagues are uncomfortable with the woman’s revealing attire in a professional setting. It is a justified reaction that does not berate the woman, but simply notifies that her apparel is inappropriate.

What has that to do with respecting the dress code? Most women that get inspired by this to do whatever they want don't save people's life nor the company. This is ridiculous.

@mattias5157 OVERALL,The ppl in the movie who were dressed most appropriately (TOP NOTCH CORPORATE ATTIRE) were the ppl who supported the killing AND CONTAMINATION OF THE ENTIRE TOWN... THERE ARE PPL WHO WOULD RATHER RESPECT ARBITRARY DRESS CODE THAN ACTUALLY RESPECT HUMAN LIVES! ALLOWING PPL TO WILLINGLY CREATE ENVIRONMENTAL CANCERS THAT HAD SOME WOMEN AND CHILDREN BECOME STERILE...BUT PPL WANT TO FOCUS ON THE MESSENGER BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T LOOK THE PART... THATS RIDICULOUS THIS MOVIE IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY OF A REAL TOWN AND A REAL SINGLE MOTHER WHO HELPED BRING JUSTICE TO THE TOWN AND FIRM!

​@@mattias5157 To be fair women usually rebel because they are so oppressed by the society in visible and myriad invisible ways. The society stops the oppression, women don't feel the need to rebel.

Lmao, you should consider loOOKING UP WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND CHILLING WITH THE CAPS

@@bikerultimate Modern women oppressed? Can you say that with a straight face?

Could you explain further?

The thing is when she doesn’t care to take others feelings into account by how she acts and dresses when they’re made to follow the rules, she can’t expect others will be willing to lend a hand. The desk woman’s job is not helping Erin get her stuff in order. That’s called a favor, small but still this is why it’s important to at least be nice if she’s gonna go and be this unorthodox, cuz she’ll still need help from others no matter how brilliant she is at cracking a case. Otherwise you’d see the boss himself being a tyrant, but he needs his office’s support to get what he needs done too even though I’m sure he knows how to do all their jobs.

You are right.....if a school, court, hospital will not allow this, why should an office

It is a wonderful clubbing outfit, and she will look great in it while clubbing. Clubbing outfits rarely translate well into workplace attire.

I love when British actors do the American accent. Its probably exactly how we sound to them 😆

Especially for a law firm. It's not business professional attire

I think a shawl over it would make it appropriate or opaque tights! At least one would be necessary to make this more work appropriate

No he said it's not alright with the women .

Exactly. She may look nice to go out on a date but that is work at the office. I always thought she was ungrateful and entitled. Didn't like her.

​@@peekaboots01even for a date it's an all out type of thing imho

@@nancyinthegarden3160 I know. :)

I think the word you were looking for is interpretation :)

If you have actually watched the movie or know, the true story of Erin Brockovich, she was actually like this, and she actually did dress like this and she didn’t have a problem because she wasn’t working in traditional corporate America.

This was real life though… Erin Brockovich (I’m probably spelling it wrong) was a phenomenal woman who accomplished things a lot of people daydream about doing and the movie/this scene is portraying what she actually went through!!!

How so?

Sure did. She's a millionaire now!! Good for her!

I'll always remember him as Daddy Warbucks. And even though I've seen some of his other work (Two for the Road with Audrey Hepburn is fantastic!) it still feels weird to see him with hair. 😂

@@kaylapounds1359 Her work. I heard about her before the movie came out. I've seen her show up and speak at a lot of environmental groups. The movie is just one part of her life. I think I might even be friends on Facebook with her.

I agreed

I have seen the movie. It’s based on a real person. In the movie, and in reality, the woman dressed inappropriately (very provocatively) in the work environment. I don’t care what she says, IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE TO DRESS THAT WAY in that specific work environment (it was a law firm). Given it was a law firm, and NOT a strip club NOR a Hooters, it was wrong to dress that way. Women who dress that way ARE INSECURE and ARE looking for attention, and validation from men in a s*xual way to make them feel good about themselves. THAT IS WHY THEY DRESS THAT WAY. I have no problem with a woman who wants to dress that way IN HER PERSONAL LIFE. I say, if you got it flaunt it, ON YOUR OWN TIME. BUT in a work environment it’s totally unprofessional and inappropriate.

Because

She has never been to a real job before so..

My skirts are considered short at work (by one person) because of my butt even tho i wear XL. But i wear them with tights. I've seen an Asian girl wear leather shorts in the office. They always get a pass cuz of their shape and it's not fair. While i feel that if a short skirt is tasteful and you're wearing tights, it's fine, low plunging tops will never be appropriate.

Short skirts in the office is not appropriate either.

@@TrulyMademoizelleit depends on the skirt I wear skirts and tights a lot and I have a slim but hourglass figure so I am smaller but still have curves and if the skirt is to short I will def still get called out. I feel a skirt has to be at least mid thigh length still even with tights. It doesn’t matter if your slim, midsized or bigger if you have curves instead of a straighter figure your probs gonna get called out for it. It doesn’t have much to do with size rather than how ur proportions are.

Go figure 🙄

Watch the movie then

That is the question. That was Erin Brockovich's question that started everything. I personally don't want to ruin the movie for others

It’s a true story that’s already out there and even if you watch the trailer or read the synopsis the explanation is already given, but I don’t want to be that person haha

@@MsAuburnluv”Hang it in my bathroom!”

What does that mean

The last client, the one with the girl who got cancer. They did get the money, but the dad blew the 2 million in bad real estate deals. Google it. I think financial literacy is something people should receive when they get over $1 million in a class action suit.

Explanation?

Huh ????

😢

It's based on a true story?

Unfortunately it does happen in some workplaces and they do get away with it. Speaking from first hand experience as a victim of this behavior.

Eighties and even nineties corporate was a different world than it is now... There was an expectation that women exude masculine confidence (as well as be chill with being sexualized). While all of these issues still exist, it's absolutely not as bad as it was. Erin was doing the power moves essential to prosper in the corporate environment she was apart of. This was the wolf of wall street, apologies mean you're weak era. Definitely wouldn't, and shouldn't, fly today... But we've also regressed a bit when it comes to acceptance of self expression in the work place. Major home owner's association vibes. Personally, I don't see why we care if someone has cleavage or wears short skirts, if they're adults- particularly if they don't interact with the clientele...Just because I'm uncomfortable in my body doesn't mean others need to feel the same about theirs. There's always someone prettier, thinner, smarter. Forcing people to dim their light, makes for just as toxic of a work environment as one that's laissez-faire about it. ...Yelling at coworkers who won't do their job (particularly just to spite you) is inappropriate, but understandable. Particularly since she was actively trying to save lives, and was getting bricked walled because of sour grapes.

​@thehalfmoonmirrorsvenus1234 Was it really like that, though? Or was it just in the movies?

Gurl boss tho

But he’s damn lucky that he did. Everyone who refused to hire her or fired her because of the way she dressed and acted missed out on an amazing person who stopped at nothing to get justice. I think people would do well to remember that looks can be deceiving, it’s actions that matter.

That's between her and her supervisor. Everyone else needs to mind their own business.

@@michelelafiura5272 CLEARLY you have never worked in an Office.

​@@michelelafiura5272no it affects everyone. Especially when you're dealing either clients.

It's always about jealousy. It just so happened to _also_ be inappropriate attire this time. (Taking your word for it.) Although he was asking about them going out to lunch, not a conference room for a meeting. Name one office of women anywhere who wouldn't be jealous of her.

​@@tw9535i think there is a difference between etiquette and jealousy.

​@@shark4330Actually, go look it up.... the lawyers got almost ALL the money.

​@@shark4330 yes!! I LOVE this movie/story!!

Thank you, I was looking for the name :)

She was hostile to other women. It is actually appropriate that they would have complained to the boss and not approached her directly. Even with him talking to her politely she body shames her other coworker for being overweight and insults him. Women need to understand that ugly sass like that isn't "empowering" or feminism.

Why is it a colleague's job to enforce company policy? Boss man needs to strap on a pair.

@@beddythecorgi4269 she also put them in a weird position. People are like why did he say something? Why did he just called her out on it? I don’t know he doesn’t wanna sexual harassment lawsuit. She’s dressed appropriately and is acting inappropriately.

The movie is based on a true story. Erin Brockovich did not fit the corporate mold, but she helped a lot of people.

I saw the movie, and I would not exactly call that law office "corporate."

Not dressed for that office's code, you mean.

You wouldn't help a person who asked a question? Sometimes we all learn and don't know things. It was never a problem for me bc it was mutual in my work sphere

Very true. I agree one can wear whatever one wants ( provided it's REALLY NOT slutty) and if one can carry it off well. But her attitude is Lil bit too much for NO REAL REASON

@@nsbr6 but then whats “slutty” to you may not be the same as someone else. For example, my ex was Muslim, and their family expected me to wear clothes that covered up to my knees and elbows. I also wear a 28G bra, and I’m 98lbs, so if I wear a v-neck top, it will look more “slutty” on me than on someone with a more average body type. It’s more grey than you think it is.

@@pinkbombshellcasing2672 ya true , but u forgetting that females are more intelligent in such things , more intelligent than anyone could ever really get it or accept it . Females understand exact what they are doing . So they obviously understand what effects are given on their presence be it in any situation, especially in a professional situations/ scenarios . N this is slutty for were she works... Shabby chic is also NOT really what the look would be called.

@@pinkbombshellcasing2672 m all for freedom let alone women freedom. I definitely back up the idea of dressing however u want. But females are real quick witted about what to wear where. So I stick to the above comment I made 👆🏻

@@pinkbombshellcasing2672how the heck are you a 28G and 98 pounds? Are you 3 feet tall because those sweater puppies gotta be weighing at lease 10 pounds each!

Men are too jealous and petty a lot more. They might not show it as openly as women. Have seen men do lot of petty little shit including backbiting on women ,then pretend to be their good friend. In office many people are aweful without any reason. Gender is not differentiating factor.

True, but in this case, she was just as wrong as they were. She was rude and nasty to them, and she was dressed inappropriately for an office job. Also, I'm not gonna do anybody else's job for them either..

​@@gabriellehanks6850 EXACTLY

Fun fact : later, at meetings, she wear clothes appropriately

Every effective, results-oriented woman that I have ever worked with has hated working with other women because those women too often didn't stay focused on the goals and instead wasted time and attention on petty garbage in the office. One such woman was younger and much prettier than all of the other women in a 55-person IT Department, and they all couldn't stand her even though she dressed appropriately - and she was the only woman in that entire department with an actual computer science degree.

Even worse she's gonna claim ppl are mistreating her cuz someone refused to do her job for her.

Yeah. She is narcissistic character who doesn't feel she has to respect any rules or anything.

@@TG-qe3ly I mean most rules are arbitrary but I'm not stupid enough to shit talk the boss to his face or to dress in a bunch of skin exposing clothing in a professional environment. It's just common sense and people tell me I'm one of the narcissistic people they know. One would think if you think so highly of yourself that at least you'd have some common sense and basic decency.

@@TG-qe3ly😆👌🏼

100%. Having your boobs and bra sticking out of your top is not "feminism", being rude to your coworkers is not feminism, talking back to your boss when he tries to make sure you dress appropriately at the office is not feminism. Unfortunately some people can't understand the difference between feminism and inappropriate sass. Feminism is about being treated as an equal and being given equal opportunity. If a man walked in a muscle shirt and plumbers crack and was rude and combative with other men in the office we wouldn't be celebrating that, we'd be saying wtf is wrong with him.

@@beddythecorgi4269 Now that's somebody with a sane mind! Thank You!!!!

He said it in a way that makes the other women just look jealous. He's her superior and he didnt address it like HE should. He pitted the women against each other and made sexist remarks. That's not how anyone should act in the workplace.

Not having the balls to make a clear statement then waffling at the most miniscule amount of pushback is not effective management in any industry.

@@PickyVickyVindictive Maybe he didn't convey the message effectively. That doesn't mean that his message is in any way wrong. What he said is 100% right. She has no rights to be dressed up in sexy numbers in a workplace.

Even real Erin plays a small role in it

Inspired by a true story, anyway. If you look up what really happened, it didn't turn out all rosy for those involved.

Two words: thrift store.

@@JukuduB you haven't been at that stage when you don't have a single dollar inside your wallet, she had a baby and a child, she is a mother and at that moment, her baby milk powder expenses and baby sitting fees are on her top list

@@JukuduB thrift store clothes are very cheap, but when you are very short until you have no money for food, you won't understand

I disagree in one matter: that she knows how to dress. I find all of her outfits dreadful

She thinks only she has breasts.....and looks nice on showing it

The woman in real life didn’t.

Exactly people in the comments defending the black woman are wrong. She was rude. Erin only asked a question. She didn’t ask for “help”.

I have seen the movie. It’s based on a real person. In the movie, and in reality, the woman dressed inappropriately (very provocatively) in the work environment.

​@SnowLeopardForever honey calm your tit's. We don't dress that way because we're insecure, it's the exact opposite. We know how good our body is and don't feel the need to cover it with layers. FYI Erin Brokovich runs her own company and charitable foundation now. She did just fine wearing those "inappropriate" outfits. 😂

How are you uncomfortable if you can't see ass and tits?

There absolutely is something wrong with it if you're trying to wear your clubbing outfit to work. The women may shun her, but a lot of the men are also being made uncomfortable without feeling they can say anything. How's it going to look if she's bending over a desk to review papers with a lawyer, clearly exposing half her breasts to anyone that walks by, and his wife stops by the office to drop off his lunch? You think there isn't going to be a "discussion" about that when he gets home? She's not just making people feel uncomfortable, she's also putting some of them in a very unpleasant situation.

The issue was that he was pushing off his opinion to the other women. Just stating the dress code may have received a different reaction

What's the title please

What’s the name of the movie

Exactly! Who WOULDN'T be confused about blood test results & medical records in real estate files? I would think that would be anybody's question...

Or maybe that woman has worked in that office for years trying to show her merit rather than her goodies and has been overlooked non stop by people who show their goodies. She’s not wrong.

So side from establishing rules and social shaming, what other tools would you recommend to increase conformity?

​@michaelsorensen7567 If your managers want everyone to dress a certain way they can just create proper written rules and communicatethem to you. Shame is not needed.

Because each home had people that were living in there that got sick, terribly sick, and it was all in the same neighborhood the people were getting sick and dying and Erin Brockovich came in and uncovered the fact that their homes were all sitting on an oil well and that's what made them all sick. And then she sued the oil company.

I have quite literally never seen a pretty girl be treated badly primarily for being pretty. Not in school, not at work, nowhere. If she was ostracized, she did something. I don’t know where men come up with these things but it’s impressive. No proof, just an assumption. “Well they would have hated her anyways”

@@Firstofanyone I'm not trying to brag about myself....I'm 53 now, but when I was younger I was very pretty (according to others) and I can think of many times when a girl was jealous of me and treated me poorly .I'm a hairstylist- one day, many years ago, I was cutting this man's hair (like any other day) when his gf suddenly walks up and gets in my personal 3 feet of space. She stood far too close to me with her arms crossed and stared me down like I had just kissed him. My manager had to tell her where the chairs were so she would get away from me. I did nothing but cut his hair. Whatever was going on was her problem. The point is, I was treated poorly by a woman for doing my job bc she was jealous that I was cutting her boyfriend's hair. It was ridiculous.
