Mine is about 38" too. It is just a folding table that we put pieces of PVC on the legs to raise it. Kind of like bed risers, except they can be cut to any height you need. Also easy to dismantle if you need the table for something else.

The managers should be able to raise the cutting table using concrete blocks or a riser of some sort. The question is do you work for a chain fabric store or an independent store. If you work for a chain the company usually has standards set for uniformity and appearances to the public. If you managers are saying there is nothing they can do that rising it is dangerous that would be my guess for their responses to you and your co-workers. They would probably get in trouble from corporate if they made changes.

I went to sam's club and bought a folding banquet table with adjustable legs. DH added plywood on the top, when not in use, table folds back up and plywood along the wall. It also has adjustable legs so you can adjust the height
