Management

Where I work, management is so stupid.

The uniform is a t-shirt given to the staff and black or khaki pants and black shoes. I go into work wearing the appropriate uniform every time I work. But now, they're saying that what I'm wearing is wrong because I wear yoga pants. Yoga pants are black pants, are the not?

So now I'm being told that the next time I go into work, I have to sign some stupid form saying that I will not wear yoga pants to work. So what they're telling me, is that instead of me being happy and comfortable when I work, they would rather me be unhappy and uncomfortable. Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Good one management. One of my managers said she was going to buy me pants. Is she going to buy everyone else pants? I don't think so. That's discrimination.

I do not feel comfortable in the pants that they want me to wear, the pants that are "right". I have an awkward body type because I swim. My thighs make my pant size go up a size because they don't fit the pant size that my waist is because I have very muscular legs. My legs are too long for short pants and regular pants, but too short for long pants. But that's what I have to buy anyways. So I either have to pull them up really high so I'm not stepping on them, or I have to roll them which cause uncomfortable bunching in the crotch and cause the tongue of my shoe to show. I just can't win. I feel self conscious in jeans and pants that they want me to wear.

I wear yoga pants because they fit everywhere. The fit in my waist and my thighs comfortably. They are the right length. They don't awkwardly bunch anywhere. If I have to get something out of a bottom freezer, they are comfortable to bend down in. When I wear yoga pants I don't feel self conscious anymore.

What management is telling me, is that they want me to feel badly about myself because I have an awkward body type and that normal pants look awkward on me.

Not to mention that it is perfectly okay to wear pants just as tight as yoga pants, but because they have pockets, they're appropriate. Just an FYI, yoga pants are much more flattering than a pair of pants so small on you that you can see the outline of the underwear their wearing.

Once again I say, good one management.
