Woman Fired for Having Gray Hair

Sandra Rawline, a 52-year-old branch manager at Capital Title of Texas, has been fired from her job because of her gray hair.

When her boss informed her that the company’s headquarters would be moving to a more upscale neighborhood, Rawline was also told she’d need to start wearing “younger fancy suits” and jewelry.
