Can fat women not find jobs because they are fat?

Do fat women can’t find jobs because they are fat?

? I have been an office worker all my life, and sitting at a desk may not be a good thing for body shaping. But no one ever stopped me from working longer hours and giving me 200% of the attention compared to my lazy but skinny colleagues. How much do I weigh? My weight has hovered around 190 pounds since high school. I have always dressed very professionally, and no skin below my neck is exposed!

Then let me return to the topic.

After receiving an interview invitation call from a local beach resort, I was absolutely elated.

As the interview began, I began to realize that my waist size was putting me on pins and needles. Being overweight would not allow me to do the job I applied for. What position am I applying for? Front desk customer service specialist. I have done this job in other resorts for many years. Surprise? This resort caters to guests who only eat pure grains and whole foods, and is an all-organic and health-themed company. The new manager is working hard to provide a restaurant with healthy eating options, a fully edible fruit and vegetable garden, yoga classes and cooking classes for guests.

Now, if I were a paying guest, I would definitely be welcomed with a warm welcome, come and get rid of the fat and get in shape, but the first impression of the hotel is definitely not going to work.

I showed great enthusiasm and eagerness for the job during the interview. I would be so excited to have such a mentally and physically satisfying job in such a great place. It sounds like a dream, but I was passed over by a girl in her twenties who only weighed 95 pounds and looked like she was anorexic.

Although I am not sure yet, I think it is double discrimination. Oregon doesn’t have the respect it deserves for fat people. Overweight and over 30 - forget it - it's all legal here!

I have no doubt they decided not to hire you because of your weight - although that's not quite what you'd expect . I also doubt your age - 30 is still very young. However, I would like to ask you to go back and read what you wrote: This resort caters to guests who only eat pure grains and whole foods, and this is an all-organic and health-themed company. The new manager is working hard to provide a restaurant with healthy eating options, a fully edible fruit and vegetable garden, yoga classes and cooking classes for guests. ?

I don’t think companies can discriminate against someone because of their weight, when weight doesn’t matter. (Although, to be clear, I would not support any law that would protect children based on their weight.) But a company trying to sell a healthy lifestyle should really consider the image of their salespeople. And what about the front desk job at the resort? This is the face of this company. What people think of front desk staff is even more important to a company's future success than how they think of hotel managers, who they may not readily see.

Of course, they will welcome you with open arms as a guest because they want to sell certain products - like you want to attend their yoga classes, eat their acai berries, drink their Green smoothies can make you look young, slim and beautiful. Let's face it, when people talk about "getting healthier" what they really mean is "getting thinner." What happens when someone tries to tell you the benefits of enjoying an entire spa package? Reduces the chance of a sale, or at least that's how the hiring manager sees it.

Because our ideas about ideal body shapes have changed, people want to look thinner than they actually are. And our ideal body shape can change -- and it has.

However, I suggest you consider something else: your attitude. You're a better employee than your lazy, skinny coworkers. They gave the job to a 95-pound girl who looked like she was anorexic. This is not a good attitude, just as you think those people are judging you, you are also judging people based on their body shape.

Some people may eat a lot but not gain any weight.

Others, like me, gain five pounds just by looking at the brownies on their plate. This isn't fair. But life is unfair now, and it will never be fair again. And I don't care about that anymore, because, to be fair they have to lower the lowest common denominator, and I actually prefer excellence. However, your colleagues are not actually lazy because they are thinner than you who are not lazy but fat, and the girl who got the job is probably not anorexic. If she is, this is a serious health problem and we should be sympathetic to her plight.

Because, while I think it's possible they didn't hire you because of your size, I also think it's possible they didn't hire you because of your perception of yourself and others, because of your weight. A matter of your opinion. You think your waistline is being interviewed. Is this a realistic statement or are you aware of your weight?

If you feel you are overweight, think of ways to address it. If you're happy with your weight, maintain it. Be confident. Don't expect people to comment on your appearance. Expect people to evaluate your abilities. People generally have expectations about how we think about them, but the exception is how they think about our body shape. Either way it's your choice. Make your choice and bear the consequences. ;
