Not to mention any names but my son’s company requires their people to be under a certain BMI number. If they are over they pay a percentage of their healthcare based on how far over they are.

Or maybe you should fill your company with people who are demonstrably skillful at the task you wish to hire them for?
Just a thought.

GE has apparently tried this... at least the sexual harassment claims are down.

I’d rather hire polite, well-spoken, intelligent nerds than arrogant, jacked-up, over-testosteroned meatheads.

bmi is a crap statistic. my bmi is near 30 and i play racquetball 2 + hours a week and walk at least every other day. my cholesterol and bp are great. half the linemen in the nfl are obese if judged by bmi. have them take a pt test to judge fitness, not some bs government chart.

Athlete types are great for the lowest levels of an organization, coaches are great for team leaders and foremen, but you definitely don’t want athletes where you need people who can work and think independently, which is pretty much everywhere above “clerk”.
