Overweight? You needn’t bother applying for the job
Obese workers are ‘lazy’ and ‘unable to fulfil their roles’ and as a result are less likely to be hired, a new survey has revealed.
Almost half of 1,000 British companies questioned said they are less inclined to recruit an applicant after interview if they are obese or overweight.
Among the reasons given were that overweight workers ‘are unable to play a full role in the business’, ‘they’re lazy’, and ‘they wouldn’t be able to do the job required’, the research shows.
Beverley Sunderland, managing director, at Crosslands Employment Solicitors, who commissioned the research, said: ‘Our research shows that prejudiced attitudes towards hiring obese workers are rife among British employers.’
