The TikTok profile @ultimatebykomi posted a video where the woman shares that she received an email from a woman in HR regarding the black dress she was wearing. “I don’t think it’s that bad,” she said in the clip.

She then films herself talking to a colleague about the issue. The man reassures her that the dress was appropriate for work. Later, she films herself during a meeting with the HR woman, where she mentioned that she decided to wear a more formal dress.

However, her clothing choice was still criticized by the HR woman, who admitted to being “a little disappointed” with the outfit the woman chose for the meeting. The woman then shares that other colleagues didn’t find her outfit inappropriate, to which the HR person replies that they “are not in a position” to comment on the matter.

“We need to address this issue because we are receiving comments from other team members,” the HR woman continued, adding that some colleagues said the young woman was “begging for attention.”

In the comments, internet users were divided. Some agreed with the HR woman’s stance and criticized the young woman’s outfit. “As an HR professional, I agree. It’s not office attire. Super cute, but not for work,” commented a TikTok user.

“I want to be a girl’s girl, but, darling, I have that exact dress and wear it to bars,” wrote another. “Honey, I’m going to hold your hand when I say this. That’s a party dress,” asserted a third.

While others came to the woman’s defense. “I have to admit… I’m a little disappointed with the comments,” lamented one. “She looks great and [this] is HR showing their insecurities,” said another. “Dress codes are so misogynistic, I really don’t see the problem,” admitted a third.
