Sandra Rawline, a 52-year-old branch manager at Capital Title of Texas, has been fired from her job because of her gray hair, according to the Houston Chronicle.
When her boss informed her that the company’s headquarters would be moving to a more upscale neighborhood, Rawline was told she’d need to start wearing “younger fancy suits” and jewelry — and that her hair, which has been naturally gray since she was in her 20s, would have to be dyed a younger color.
She refused. Now, she’s out of work. And has sued. Her boss denies everything, saying she only had one client who suddenly decided they didn’t want to deal with her anymore — so she was laid off since she didn’t have any work.
