J.C. Penney Employee Sent Home for Wearing Shorts She Bought … at J.C. Penney

A former J.C. Penney employee said she was sent home from work for wearing shorts she bought in the store's career style section, launching a heated discussion about dress codes for women online. Sylva Stoel of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, called out her former employer on Twitter last week, accusing her boss of sending her home because her red linen shorts were "too revealing," she said.
