woolybanana Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Should she sue for discrimination? Should she stay on the dole? Should she ask the State to pay for a fat camp? Should she just accept she has created her own problems? Would you employ her? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2285321/Obese-woman-claiming-227-week-benefits-says-discrimination-law-brought-job.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I was wondering how she got so big living off so little money. Perhaps she has a medical condition, it is really rather difficult to say anything without knowing the full facts. One issue about being obese, is it a disability, somebody needs to give guidelines on this. One reason an employer might not wish to take on an employee of such size is cost, special chairs, desks, toilets etc which are quite different from those requirements for those who are disabled by way of mobility, sight, hearing etc. Personally however I have always taken the stance that when it comes to employing somebody you want the best person for the job regardless of sex, religion, colour or sexuality. Bit of a tough one really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ceour de Lion II Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Maybe she could look at starting up her own business? Something computer based. She can get training by doing an online degree. There's more than one way to skin a rabbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I saw the lady on This Morning. I'm pretty sure I heard polycystic ovaries and a slow thyroid mentioned...Katie Hopkins was her usual assertive self, and actually looked a little muscular around the arms.....a la Madonna...My daughter is fairly weighty and I used to worry she would be discriminated against, but actually she always seems to interview well and has good qualifications and experience. I can't remember her not getting a job she has been for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
