A London-based investment banker has written to Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times with a rather unusual problem.
She says she is too good looking to work. Men drool over her, women distrust her, and no one takes her seriously.
From the FT:
I know that you will think this problem is mad, but I fear I’m too good looking for corporate life. As a student I used my looks to make money modelling, but now that I’m in the City I feel they are holding me back. Female colleagues distrust me, while male colleagues are drawn to me, but don’t take me very seriously. My boss has told me that I need to network more. But I find networking events are ghastly, with all the eager men dribbling over me. What can I do, short of turning up to work in a bin liner?
