In 1989, 16-year-old Lewinsky landed her first job: a clerk at the fast food chain Wienerschnitzel. Co-workers described Lewinsky as "lazy" and "really not that attractive." After just ten short months, Lewinsky was dismissed from her permission after a large number of sausages went missing from the district manager's office. Although it could not be proven that Lewinsky had gobbled down the manager's sausages, she was nonetheless fired, under the pretext that she created a hostile work environment by menstruating too loudly.
