A good reason to not hire a fatty...

[Mysticcobrakilla]

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.

"First call, this is Carl"?

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.

Incorporate your work ethic into your nutrition and exercise and you will have some success.

... a few aren't even around any more.

I wonder why?

The inevitable. Everybody gets old and dies in the end. Even parts men.

Yup...some sooner than others though.

. Im fat, 6'4 300+, I eat better than most people I've ever met, work out 6 days a week, work full time and work circles around all the skinny pricks I work with. Granted I've pushed harder than ever and lost 90lbs in the last 6 months but I hate the generalizations that all fat people are lazy overeaters.

[davbrucas]

You wouldnt be fat if you werent an overeater...simple math. And tell the whole story. You just started working out and that's why you are losing the weight.

im 5'10 175.. I do not consider 6'4'' 300 to be fat. Thats just being a big ol boy. Now if you were my height and 300 you would be a fat bastard

one of the best workers i have ever met was my friend kenny who was 6'2'' and 280. he could work circles around anyone and he was always hung over from the night before

[davbrucas]

He said 300+...and he has lost 90lbs. He is obese.

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.

Thanks Jet! It is nice to know that I was appreciated. And yes, while I was overweight, I didn't try to use that as an excuse to be lazy, or a slob. Some things were harder to do for me than a "normal sized" person, but I that didn't mean I used it as an excuse. I have since taken responsibility and realized that I was slowly killing myself and had to do something about it. I have lost 140 pounds since I worked there and am continuing to get exactly where I want to be. I feel much better both physically and mentally.

[mustang87]

When the truth hurts...it becomes a stereotype.

SOOOOOOOOOO well put, Doc,could not agree with you more

[90GT50]

Yeah, but does he wear jorts?

He might be obese, but if he's already lost 90+ pounds, it sounds like he might be working on it, just a guess.

You are one of the laziest people I have ever worked with in my life. It is one of the reasons I asked for a transfer out of 680; I was tired of doing 3 times the work and the manager looking the other way while you showed up 30 minutes late every day, took 3 hour lunches, didn't do returns, and didn't pull any of your own parts. Add in that you wouldn't take deliveries if we were backed up because you literally(according to YOU, anyway) couldn't fit in a delivery truck, and I was tired of carrying your weight.

It is also one of the reasons I decided to be a store manager; so that I could control my environment so I wouldn't have to put up with people pulling that shit. You were demoted for being lazy, went and got lapband, then never showed back up to work because I took over the store you were at and you knew I wasn't going to put up with your shit. All the while you were getting paid for being on medical leave, extending it for MONTHS over and over again saying you couldn't work, yet posting on the "other" site about remodeling your bathroom. Get the fuck outta here with that "not lazy" shit.
