Fat people don't get no respect! (Apologies to Rodney Dangerfield)
Fat people don't get no respect! (Apologies to Rodney Dangerfield)Howdy. Funny how these things happen. After I wrote the "Everything impacts" blog on Saturday I picked up the Sunday newspaper and read the results of a survey recently completed here in Australia.
The survey, conducted by an Employment Agency, found that 40% of employees don't respect their overweight colleagues. These same people believed overweight people are discriminated against in the workplace.
There are plenty of similar surveys to back that up. From the one that says tall people get faster career advancement. Good looking people also move up the corporate ladder quicker and/or are more successful in their own business. (Looking at my photo you'd wonder how I ever did okay in business!)
But like I said below.......everything impacts. If you are overweight then you won't get as much business as a slim person. Crazy, superficial and just plain wrong - but that's life.
Cheers
Brendon
