Engineer claims to be a fashion victim

An employee under contract to Microsoft Taiwan Corporation claims that she was fired for wearing a short skirt to the office.

The engineer, Dolly Chao, said in a post that her manager at Microsoft told her on Jan 28 that she was being dismissed because her attire was considered "unprofessional" and her skirt "too short". She received a written notice from the 104 Job Bank later that afternoon.
