Offensive product: American Apparel has arrived under fire after asking its workers to put on tees and key pins which read 'as me to go all off' throughout the store's Black Friday sales
The unknown employee reached away due to the fact brand name's request opened up the employees, whom consist of younger, underage girls, to intimate harassment.
'I understand that American Apparel, the organization, doesn’t see me as a proper individual and aims to commodify my sexuality to be able to sell their product, ' said the staff member.
'I still work with all of them because in past times, i've always had discernment about how we choose to present myself at the office (so long as we put on AA top to bottom).'
She added: 'today they have been definitely motivating our patrons to sexually harass me and my colleagues, a few of who tend to be as young as 15. Most our retail workforce comprises of high-school elderly girls.
'There’s no question in my mind that anybody using the clothing will deal with unsuitable comments from consumers.'
Furious: An unnamed staff member unveiled towards Mary Sue the 'special switch pins and T-shirts' were sent to stores, along side communications 'encouraging' staff to wear all of them
Although the staff member also reports that her basic knowledge about the company being positive, she ended up being more irked by this campaign than the others earlier because 'it takes that commodification of your sexuality out-of our arms, inviting customers to discuss our bodies in a manner that’s actually gross and invasive'.
She added the advice was a lot more than slightly ironic due to the fact small print regarding the directive encourages the wearers to cut up the shirts to customize them, but emphasizes they still needs to be 'appropriate'.
'which will be laughable when you consider this overtly sexual tagline that we’re banned to alter in any way, ' she added.
The worker also included that while the woman employer ended up being fine with her opting out of the consistent recommendation, other managers at various other shops might not see things the same way.
Fury: 'today these are typically definitely motivating our clients to sexually harass myself and my peers, some of whom are as early as 15, ' the employee mentioned
Following the backlash against the business on the overtly intimate phrases on tees, American Apparel has since circulated an apology, saying: 'This motto on these tee shirts - that have been distributed to both male and feminine workers as recommended - had been originally intended to be an use words to engage clients during our Ebony Friday Sale, which features one more 50 per cent off items which are usually marked down 50 per cent.'
