Would you fire a male employee for wearing a miniskirt to a conference?

You're the CEO of a multinational corporation that exports heavy machinery for the transportation industry. Your company has numerous lucrative business connections in the Far East, the Persian Gulf etc. Recently you've spent months preparing to close a deal with a Japanese company that should realise millions of dollars in profits to your shareholders.

Raymond is the Vice President of Accounting. You've been working very closely with him on this Japanese deal. Several board members accompany the two of you on the flight to the headquarters in Yokohama. Everything is going as planned until the morning of the meeting. Raymond doesn't answer when you knock on the door of his hotel room. So you leave with the rest of the group, hoping he will catch up later. Just as you are walking into the conference room to meet the Japanese clients for the first time, Raymond burst out of the elevator and races into the room with you. He is wearing a dark business suit, but instead of pants, he has a black leather miniskirt.

The clients don't say anything, but it is obvious that they are disturbed by Raymond's mode of dress. Everyone tries to act like nothing is wrong and you continue with your presentation, but you have a sinking feeling that the whole deal is blown. You aren't expecting to close the deal today, that will come later in the week if it happens at all. You say nothing to Raymond until you can speak to him in private back at the hotel.
