Alive HR

Today is Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving when millions of Americans attempt to work off the previous days gluttony by getting up at the crack of dawn to battle other shoppers to the death.  Today, our office is actually open, though many people are taking leave. To make it festive, our accountant suggested that we all bring in our leftovers to share at lunch. And our administrative assistant suggested we all wear scrubs just for fun.

So I’m wearing pink scrubs pants. Since I don’t have a top to match, my I Make Work Meaningful HRevolution Tshirt.  I must say, this is darn comfortable attire.

People can call them ‘scrubs’ all they want, but my astute eyes have picked up on this truth: they are basically pajamas. It got me thinking: How did the medical profession maneuver itself into P.J.’s as a uniform, and do so without losing credibility, while still being taken seriously?

I’m jealous. HR friends, we should have had the foresight to  do the same. The HR uniform. What would it be, I wonder?
