it won't be 50lbs over wieght, it will be 20 or less, at least that's what they are doing at a company here in okemos, mi.

get to your proper wieght or you're gone.

so all you folks out there who have had a hard time losing wieght better realize your job may soon depend on it

Let's assume that company in Okemos goes to the extreme, and says you have to be within 5lbs of ideal bodyweight, according to the most restrictive weight policies imaginible. How long do you suppose they stay in business, considering the reduced labor pool (there's only so many skinny people) and the poor public relations (Drudge headlines)?

The ironic thing is that this will back fire big time.

Being fat is not a protected class however being obese is. So let the eggnog and gravy flow. Just pack on as little as ten pounds and by golly you just moved into the protected class.

And last time I ran the numbers the obese have higher health care costs then either smokers or the overweight.
