  I'm sorry you have to deal with that.  It's sooooo not fair.  The double standard is beyond believable.  When was the last time some guy got turned down for a job because his biceps weren't big enough or his butt wasn't perky enough?  *sigh*

  Holy fuck ... I'm afraid to put a push-up bra on again ... my boobs would probably be up against my chin! (lol).

• uniquely-ironic said on Mar 04, 2009....

  Bwa ha ha ha!  Like the guys would mind?

• one_wired_kitty said on Mar 04, 2009....

  lol

  FUCK my boss ... stupid twat (pardon me) ... fuckin promote the skinny bitch ... she started a month after I did and has been suspended FOUR times ... stupid asshats ...

  We have what are called "drive times" ... our drive-thru is timed and we have to try to keep it under a certain number (100 seconds) ... her times border 200 seconds (she averages 180 secs) ... Mine average 100 - 110.

  But I'm fat

  So that, apparantly, justifies promoting the skinny bitch.

• uniquely-ironic said on Mar 04, 2009....

  Can you talk to him about it?  Question why she got the promotion over you?  You're right, if her performance is vastly inferior to yours it's actually discrimination.

• one_wired_kitty said on Mar 04, 2009....

  Aparantly she's "good with the customers" ... wtf is that? Ted Bundy was a people person too ... Hell - he'd probably get promoted over me too.

• uniquely-ironic said on Mar 04, 2009....

  So beat her at this silly game.  Work on those "people skills" and give them no choice but to do the right thing.  It's unfortunate this happened, but now you need to work to be sure you're not giving them excuses to behave badly.

  I'll keep your suggestions in mind and bust my ass when I go back to work.

  I married the fluffy, blond-haired, blue-eyed thirty-something professional.
  
  I can't stand the anorexic chicks. I'll put them up against my wife any day with a kiddie pool and Jell-O!!
  
  What good are the bony Calista Flockharts of the world when I used to fuck those girls in half? They break and they bruise. Like Cherry 2000, they aren't worth a shit when they are broken.

  I'm told by MULTIPLE sup's that I'm great with customers ... a bit spacey at times but still good with the customers ...

  Yeah ... I've had a few call-outs ... I'm not showing up to work vomiting ... no-showed 3 times in 18 months ... But still ...

  Like all cheap things these days - it's the looks and presentation that counts.
   
  No one appreciates the good qualities anymore.

  Believe it or not, I mostly hired the more frumpy secretaries. Things just ran smoother that way.

• one_wired_kitty said on Mar 05, 2009....

  I <3 you Mobil!! Can I work for you?

• Hegemone said on Mar 05, 2009....

  Yes, its a very physical appearance related world nowadays.  Makes it hard for anybody who struggles with their weight, like me, to feel like you can get anyway.  Goes back to a comment I made on another post a while back ... I want to go back and slap the first dumb woman who decided to change her appearance for a man, and then I want to slap that man for liking it.  Its not just a matter of doing these things for comfort anymore, its because women have to, and if guys do they're 'gay' somehow.  Ugh, not going here ... moving along .... good post though and I hope you feel better!

  I think I'm pretty well past it. I was just really fucking upset.

• BigDan7 said on Mar 06, 2009....

  You know sometimes you have to use what assets you have.  Trust me I hire people for their ability to get the job done.  I find the way overweight ladies have more health problems and the skinny ones have boyfriend problems and the real sexy ones have men that should be working hanging around the skinny hot ones desk far to much.  I find the ladies that are a little fluffy are the hard workers and are loyal to me the boss much more than the skinny hot ones.  Sure because a man is atracted by visual displays the skinny hot one is nice to look at but the ones that are a little fluffy are the ones that stand by you and get the job done.  If you were passed over do all you can to be atractive to the boss and work hard and be sure he knows it and it will work out unless the boss is a complete idiot if so then get a new job.

  funk those skinny bitches, girl! hey you're happy with yourself?! Great, don't need that to get you down. If you aren't hey work on yourself, self-esteem is sometimes needed to get a little farther than just looks, I myself aren't what some call 16 yo with curves, but my personality makes an impression, why? Cus I got SELF-ESTEEM.
