Fired for being ugly?
 
Apparently, American Apparel does judge books by their covers. And hires and fires accordingly.

We do screen, but not for beauty. What we look for is personal style. We carry year round basics that are easy to understand and pretty much sell themselves as basics. But to really showcase the fashionability of our products, we have to rely on the way our in-store employees style themselves with our clothes.

We see applicants who don't have quite what we're looking for in retail but are recommended for modeling all the time. Every new hire contributes to our brand perception and it's very important to the success of the company to take it seriously. Not to say that we have the perfect retail workforce, but it's something we're giving priority to.

That's LEGALESE for "current antidiscrimination law doesn't protect against hiring/firing decisions based solely on BEAUTY unless such standards are based on race, sex, disability, religion, national origin or other PROTECTED classes. So... suck our collective dicks, cry babies!"

It is not just the cover of the book where the photos are.

The photos are inside of the book on every page, too.

Retail

"made store managers across the country take group photos of their employees so that he could personally judge people based on looks. He is tightening the AA 'aesthetic,' and anyone that he deems not good-looking enough to work there, is encouraged to be fired." Charney later issued a conspicuously vague denial, saying only that AA hires employees who "have good fashion sense...But this does not necessarily mean they have to be physically attractive."

i was using this as photo op! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i've been to the aa plant here in los angeles, all the workers there must be exempt from the retail rule.

Maybe the Fashion Design Council of Canada company wants employees to look beautiful, too.

I did not get hired after my interview.

It's a fucked up rule but probably good for business. How would you feel if you went to Victoria's Secret and there was a fat, ugly girl trying to sell you lingerie. Appearance does matter.

This topic interests me. I read a book about stream of consciousness. After reading this book, my ability to remember conversations word for word improved.

I want to say that being next to an ordinary woman can make you feel more beautiful - maybe there is some value to that. Imagine being next to supermodels - it could make you feel more ugly. There is not much more to say, except lose fat.

Are those ads real? If so, does AA usually use adult models for their ads?
