Anyway, this is a private employer doing what is considered best for the firm.

No, this is a county -- i.e., government hospital.

My mistake.

In the Army they weighed us after every P.T. test. Overweight soldiers who flunked the tape test were “put on Fat Boys’”, i.e., AR 600-9 which required 5-8 lbs weight loss each month. Those who failed to lose weight could be separated just like those who popped hot on urinalysis.

I guess what’s next is your personal doctor (excuse me, government lifestyle monitor & data collector) weighing you, testing you for tobacco use, and asking if you own guns.

Oh - that last one they are already doing. Good thing I’m retired, I suppose.
