A British woman says she was forced out of her job in a science laboratory because she was too good looking to work there.
Laura Fernee, a 33-year-old PhD graduate, says she quit the job in 2011 due to unwanted attention from male colleagues and jealousy from female co-workers.
Ms Fernee, who has been out of work for two years, told ITV’s This Morning show she was left traumatised from the bullying and harassment during her three-year tenure at the lab.
I was constantly asked out on dates, or found romantic gifts and notes on my desk,” Ms Fernee told ITV.
Even when I was in the laboratory in scrubs with no make-up they still came onto me because of my natural attractiveness – there was nothing I could do to stop it.”
Ms Fernee lives with her parents, who also financially support her.
Fernee is now writing a book to help women deal with similar issues they may face in the workplace.
