Health and Safety became #1 concerns as insurance premiums were soaring...regulation this...regulation that...but then again, this is California (you know, the place where the 'Peace and Freedom' hippies are still trying to grow up. lol) Bet one can't ask about "Lifestyle: that might have an increased risk of adverse health issues. Oh California, what a messy place, many of my own still love it, and think it is the place of places to be. I raised a family there. Some prosper there today even, but for me, Wow I hate to even visit there. I send my e-mails to my family there with the prolog, "From the free world".

I do think it has some to do with insurance but mainly I think it's for other reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm NOT talking about a 400 pound woman; I'm talking about women that are just overweight. Men are held to a different standard, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel like size should ever be allowed to be a factor. Hiring should be based upon work ethic/history, skill, and education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be willing to work beside a 300 pound woman? What is the number where your own discrimination might begin? Fat Santa wants to know. Careful, you might get coal in your stocking.

If a company downsizes and men are laid off, on the management side they are usually over 50 and find it very difficult to get another job. On reason is that they don't want to pay retirement benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very, very difficult to find a job that pays anything if you are over 50. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
