Co-Workers Wear Leggings After Girl Denied Raise Due To Wearing Them
By Tango
Most folk working in the American labor force understand what it’s like to ask for a raise from the higher-ups and the things that come along with the request.
One woman had asked for a raise from her job at the New York Pizza Delicatessen (NYPD) but was denied the pay increase, causing her fellow coworkers to stand in solidarity with her.
The original video was posted on TikTok by “@pyrofrenchfri” and received over 3.7 million views after just three days with the caption “f–k capitalism bro #nypdpizza.”
In the clip, she lays text over the video that reads “raise got denied cause I wear leggings, now everyone in the kitchen [is] wearing leggings.”
After showing off the pair that she was wearing, along with appropriate work boots, she then pans over to the rest of the workers toiling in the pizzeria’s kitchen.
Although, you might assume that “everyone” else was simply more women, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
The first man, who was using a ladle to pour some sauce into a cup, was wearing bright blue, brown, and white leggings that said “Let’s ski” on them and had Yin and Yang symbols on them.
The second man had just placed a pizza into the oven and was wearing leggings with a diamond pattern and various colors like pink, purple, green, and blue.
As he walks away to complete another task, you can spot another man behind him who is also wearing leggings — these being dark purple with lighter purple flowers laid throughout.
Two other men can be spotted in this frame, also going about their business, but didn’t seem to get the memo about the leggings.
Maybe they were part of the higher-ups that denied her raise, maybe they didn’t support her wearing leggings, or maybe they simply didn’t have a family member they could borrow leggings from.
