Scrubs to tight? How do you tell someone?

[Absolutely13]

I work with some wonderful people - this is difficult - but a few of my teammates need to go up a size or two in scrub bottoms.

Plumbers crack while checking outputs has even the residents talking.

Do I even breach this topic as a male working with mostly females?

Help!

The hospital just needs to make a uniform policy. Quite frankly if...

I can see your cleavage OR

I can read your tramp stamp

YOU ARE NOT DRESSED PROFESSONALLY.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing both. Especially if you're a 22-year-old new grad. But there is a time and place for both. That time is not now and the place is not here.

Consider: You may not be getting the respect you deserve, because you don't act like you deserve respect.

This topic, along with my quote above, came up in conversation with my coworkers today. They wanted to add the following, and I told them I would oblige:

If I look at your uniform and the words, "Whale tale," "muffin top," or "rack" come to mind: YOU'RE NOT DRESSED PROFESSIONALLY

Rather, you might be dressed professionally, but not the profession we want around the hospital.

As much as I respect your feelings, I believe it may not be perceived well coming from a male, no matter how tactfully done. These women think they look gorgeous, period. Many of them may misinterpet (some purposely) it as another thing. At best, I would leave an anonymous, typewritten note...

The OP with some thanks and observations.

My concern was geared toward saving my co-workers from management and the embarrassment. The people I speak of are good, kind and otherwise professional. I regret if I made this a weight issue and could have chosen my words more carefully.

One poster compared this issue to letting someone know when they have spinach in their teeth....EXACTLY!

I do believe that you had the best of intentions! And, I didn't think, even from the first time reading this, that it was an issue of weight, but an issue of professionalism. I just know from my experience from some of the chickies I work with that it may lead to more unpleasentness. Let the manager deal with it, or splash the hospital uniform policies in the restroom, but I don't want to see you in the line of fire. Good luck and wear blinders... (smile)
