ooof then yeah, she's being pressured into being eye candy for the managers, disgusting

Without saying too much... no.

Ya, I kind of gathered that from the way it was described but this wasn't even remotely customer facing. Not that it makes it ok in customer facing jobs either but it blew my mind.

I didn't realize how bad some of these issues were until I was talking to a woman I work with. She was sort of half considering going back to an old career (white collar, not public facing) instead of our workplace (very much blue collar/male dominated) but she mentioned that she doesn't want to have to start wearing makeup again. I was a bit confused because I didn't think that makeup would really be seen as a requirement there. She said it wasn't a requirement but there was a lot of pressure to do it.

Daily makeup looks almost as bad as occasionally wearing heels to me, but I do neither so IDK.
