Go girl! Woman publicly QUITS her job after boss body-shames her
An American woman has very publicly quit her job and she left with a pretty badass message ringing loud and clear in the ears of her employer.
Sherene Zarrabi, a student, was working for clothing store Dainty Hooligan, when she learned that she was not skinny or pretty enough to work in the store or model the clothes for the shop's social media pages.
"I want size small, the stereotypical ’model’ type to model our clothes," read the email sent to the store manager by the shop's owner who forwarded the email on to employees.
"I ask you to take down all pictures of anyone who doesn’t fit the criteria."
Safe to say, after her photos were removed from the Instagram and she saw this email, Sherene quit her job before posting a powerful message to Facebook.
"I am fully comfortable with who I am and the way I look.
"I do not want to represent or support a business that has such archaic values and beliefs. THIS is the reason young girls have body image issues."
This is an email I was forwarded earlier. I just want to start by saying this: I am fully comfortable with who I am and…

The message has quickly garnered a social media backing and Sherene followed up the post with more messages of positivity.
"I overheard my 9 year old sister saying earlier that every person is beautiful, no matter what size they are.
"It’s sad when a child has a bigger heart than a middle-aged woman. As I said in my previous post, love yourself! If anybody tries to bring you down, it’s because they are dissatisfied with themselves."
Hear hear!
According to an update on the story, after gaining social media coverage the shop owner has issued an apology to Sherene.
