A good reason to not hire a fatty...

[davbrucas]

"In an unusual move, the EEOC decided to pursue Harrison's case posthumously, filing a federal lawsuit against Family House of Louisiana, her former employer, in September, alleging the center violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by firing Harrison for being too fat."

Lesson in this is employers shouldnt hire fatties because you may be stuck with them. I personally dont think that people who eat themselves in obesity should be covered by Americans with Disabilities Act. People with real disabilities usually have no control over their condition.

The same could be said for arrogant asshole doctors that have a tendency to blow their knees out trying to relive their glory days riding motocross...

Stevo, you a great big fat person?


Apparently fat people have a thyroid disability.

I don't hire grossly overweight people. They are invariably lazy, refuse to accept responsibility, and if their body is any indication of their personality, they are usually slobs. They can't keep up with the normal sized folks, which in turn kills morale.

Before anyone jumps on me with those broad generalizations, I'm not talking about guys with a few extra pounds, I'm talking people who look like huge sacks of gravy as they waddle around. I'm no light weight myself these days.

Yup...lack of self control is evident in everything they do.

If you can't do the job anymore than you should be fired. Obesity is not a disability. The only disability, is the inability to push yourself away from the table.

That is very stereotypical. So being fat makes you lazy and unsuccessful?

Doesn't hurt me at all. I have worked hard all my life, rarely get sick and and take no medication. As a matter of fact, after my last blood workup my doctor told me that if he had never meet me and I told him that I was 6' and 180 pounds, he would believe it due to the results. He told me that I will never have a problem with Cholesteral....However Diabetes could very well happen.

I understand that my health is not typical of someone my size but I am far from a sloth. I have friends that are in great shape phyiscally, but take medicine by the handfull to control issues that they have. At this point, I would say that they are more of a drain on the healthcare system than I am.

However, I am not nieve in fact that my days are numbered and I am currently doing somethng about it for myself as well as my family.

One of the Coolest and Baddest Parts Men in the industry I have ever had the pleasure to work with, Works(ed) @ the Pantego Orielys with you. BillyBob has A less then supple girlish figure. But that Doesn't keep him from working circles around most anyone I've ever known in the business. When I left USA, I wanted to take him with me! HAHA!

On the way out, I stopped by and made sure I let him know how much I appreciated The difference he made for me everyday, and what a pleasure it was to work with him. I Can think of about 5 parts men I've ever come across as professional as ol BillyBob in this industry and a few aren't even around any more.
