I'm trying to be vague, my manager has a penchant for the dramatic and I honestly cba.
This may sound pathetic, but at our work place, as long as the given tops were worn, they didn't care what the trousers were. I had a cesarean last year with twins, the scar is big because my twins were big, and I dont know if its just me but whenever anything touches my scar, it feels awful. Like weird numb nerve pain up my belly and round the sides, even down my legs.
Recently they gave decided that we need to wear cargo builders trousers, that they have given us. (We are not builders nor anywhere near a site). The trousers are the most uncomfortable things i have ever had the task of putting round my arse. They ride up, cut you in half and dig into every crevice unknown to man, and when you stand up, they're baggy all they way round until they hit your thighs. So you're holding them up most of the time, and writhing around in agony the rest of it. I fucking hate them. I'm still wearing maternity wear and pants over my belly so it's somewhat protected from anything touching it.
It's now got to a point my manager has decided to start suprise visits early hours of the morning (I work at night) to check the trousers and delivering threats about upper management etc.
I won't wear them. I'm not spending 8hrs in pain because it's 'policy'. I've explained why I won't wear them, they don't care. I've had another email today, and I am at a point with my work where I'm just done. The trousers are the forefront of my current issues but there's just so much bollocks surrounding it. I cannot wait to leave.
Am I pathetic? Im on the fence. Like yeah just wear them, its no biggie, they're trousers. But also, why the f*ck should i? The trousers i wear are just plain black normal trousers. But no, these are not allowed. It feels so incredibly stupid and micromanaged that i don’t want to give in. If the trousers were of no issue I wouldn't be making it into one.
