Employee slammed for not seeing anything wrong with her ‘inappropriate' work outfit: ‘Confused how this outfit left the house in the first place'
One woman's co-worker complained about her office attire, so she turned to TikTok to ask if she was in the wrong. With many companies shelling out return-to-office mandates — many Gen Z and millennial employees — are confused about what is considered appropriate workplace attire these days. Working at an affordable housing non-profit in California, on a regular workday, Alejandra Carreño opted for a black long-sleeved top, heeled shoes and jean shorts. These weren't Daisy Duke shorts by any means. But supposedly, people were still up in arms over them. In a TikTok video — viewed by over 11 million people — Carreño showed off the infamous outfit and wrote,''Are my shorts inappropriate for work? Asking because someone complained about them.' In an interview with People, the employee gave more context, explaining that some of her co-workers commented on her outfit the day she wore it — but it didn't seem like anything she should be concerned about until her denim cutoffs were brought up in a meeting that same day. 'Oh, before I forget, I do have to tell you that someone mentioned a complaint about your shorts. Short shorts aren't allowed,' Carreño recalled her manager saying to her in the interview. 'To me, they seemed fine. I didn't see anything wrong with them. I think you look nice, but unfortunately, I do need to let you know we can't wear short shorts or short skirts,' her manager continued. Talk about confusing rules. Although the woman didn't see this rule anywhere in the company's handbook — according to the many comments on Carreño's video, there still seems to be an unspoken rule that shorts of any kind should not be worn in the workplace. 'As an HR Manager.. if you're in corporate America i cannot think of an instance where shorts are appropriate,' one comment read. 'Shorts should never be in an office,' someone else chimed in. 'Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with being revealing. as an HR professional, denim shorts are never going to be appropriate in an office/corporate environment,' agreed another commenter. 'Just because something isn't revealing doesn't necessarily make it appropriate for work,' another great point made by someone else. 'I'm confused how this outfit left the house in the first place,' quipped another commenter.

Spanish history on display at new Invisible Immigrants exhibit
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Tampa is debuting the Invisible Immigrants: Spaniards in the U.S. exhibit at the Tampa Bay History Center, sharing the untold stories of Spanish immigrants who helped shape the city. The exhibit was curated by New York University Professor James D. Fernandez and Journalist-Filmmaker Luis Argeo, who spent a decade collecting nearly 15,000 records to create the Invisible Immigrants exhibit. 'It really blindsided me': Hurricane relief funding causes confusion in Tampa 'It originated in Spain and we're so thrilled to have it here in the history center,' said Rodney Kite-Powell with the Tampa Bay History Center. The untold stories of Spanish immigrants date back to 1868 in the museum. Photos, videos and artifacts take visitors along a journey through 1945. 'The first taste is, you are overwhelmed by the number of photographs and artifacts that were accumulated by the curators,' Kite-Powell said. 'They really describe the exhibit as walking into a scrapbook.' Tampa was the chosen destination to debut the exhibit in the U.S. due to the vast population of Spanish immigrants and their impact on the cigar industry. 'That's why so many Latin immigrants came here,' Kite-Powell said. 'Cubans, Spaniards and Sicilians coming here creating Ybor City, West Tampa and making Tampa Cigar City. Some may recognize the name Bob Martinez, former Mayor, former Governor. Well, that's his mother right there and he hadn't even seen that photograph before coming here. These are Tampa's hottest neighborhoods, report says 'This sandwich shop was actually on Central Avenue, Tampa's Black business district,' he added. 'And while most of those businesses were Black-owned, some of them were owned by non-African Americans and this happened to be one that was Chico's.' Several local families are featured throughout the exhibit, including Anthony Carreño's family. 'My father is right here,' Carreño said. 'These are my paternal grandparents.' Carreño's family moved from Spain and Sicily between 1904 and 1909, and they have been here ever since. 'My Spanish grandparents lived next door and they never learned English, so I was exposed to Spanish on a daily basis,' he recalled. Tampa International Airport celebrates first nonstop flight to South America Since the 80s, Carreño has preserved not only his family's history but also the stories of so many Spaniards who came to the United States. 'It means that we were a part of a great story and I'm glad they're honored, but I think we need to remember that every story is important and I think that's the beauty of the project,' Carreño said. It's an effort to pay homage to those who came before us while educating those as we shape the future. 'Modern Tampa is what it is really because of the presence of the cigar industry and immigrants that came with it,' Carreño said. 'This is Tampa's DNA.' The Invisible Immigrants exhibit is available through August 1 at the Tampa Bay History Center. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
