上周五,美国佛罗里达州一家律师事务所的14名员工因同时穿着橙色衬衫而被解雇,公司老板认为他们集体穿同样颜色的衣服是对公司管理层的抗议行为。被解雇的员工则表示,因为当天是发薪日,同时又是周五,所以几位同事相约下班后去酒吧共享“欢乐时光”,穿橙色衬衫是为了方便在酒吧熙攘的人群中找到同伴。佛罗里达州一直自称“阳光之州”,且以出口橙汁闻名,橙色无疑是这个州的标志性颜色。这家律所的穿衣规则中也没有规定员工不得穿橙色衣服,这些员工在被解雇之前没有得到任何警告,也没有得到任何赔偿。 They weren't wearing sagging pants or revealing clothing. But dressing in an orange shirt is apparently enough to get fired at one Florida law firm, where 14 workers were unceremoniously let go last Friday. In an interview with the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, several of the fired workers say they wore the matching colors so they would be identified as a group when heading out for a happy hour event after work. They say the executive who fired them initially accused them of wearing the matching color as a form of protest against management. Orange is widely considered to be one of the most visible colors to the human eye. Orange vests are worn by most hunters as a safety precaution and by school crossing guards. Most prisoners are required to wear orange jump suits. |
