This is why we are here.
They eat more than they should and we said "fine, it's a free country."
They get really fat because they eat too much and we said "fine, it's your body."
They start costing ALL of us due to obesity health concerns and we said "fine, lots of people do stuff that's bad for them, it's still your choice."
They demand the world be built to fit their massive girth and we said "fine, there are too many of you now to ignore it."
Then they start doing shit like this and getting offended when we don't treat them like royalty. Fuck. That. Shit. We never should have gotten here in the first place and they need to be treated like the animals they are. We tried to not be mean and hateful and this is where it got us: just not honoring a fatty's curves will get you in trouble. This is why there must be no fat sympathy. No "it lost 2 pounds, that's so great!" Otherwise we WILL end up like Wall-E.

Agreed. That progression is horrible for everyone involved. They lie and then complain if something doesn't go their way. They demand hand-outs, and even after we give them stuff, they want more. What we give them isn't good enough. They put in 0 effort but demand we be attracted to them. It's absolutely ridiculous and mind boggling. This is why I hate fatties.

Doubly agreed. Same goes for having god damn kids. Pregnancy is a choice, just like being fat, and exposes you to avoidable risk, just like being fat. Being fat and/or being pregnant should be excluded from healthcare coverage, unless you're willing to pay more. If you want a kid that badly, just adopt one. The world is full of them.

That's fucking awful. I hope your friend doesn't face any consequences for that. Why would she get called into the office if she followed every step she's supposed to take?
"Humiliated and degraded". Ffs fatty, she's not asking your weight because she think it's fun, she's asking because she needs to know what amount of painkillers to give you. If you're dumb enough to fucking lie about it, of course you will be in pain you stupid fucktrumpet. Lying about 10 lbs here or there is hardly anything, the pain meds will work, but I doubt that fatty's weight was anywhere near 160.
Godfuckingdamnit. Those fucking fupatrons. "so humiliated she couldn't care for herself." Fucking christ. Fatty hasn't experienced true humiliation. She wouldn't know what it was even if it so hit her in her fat face.

Never, ever, EVER sign any documents HR provides to you regarding performance: https://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2012/12/24/never-sign-a-pip-heres-why/
Ever.

Managers often claim that signing such paperwork only constitutes admission to having read it, not agreeing to the assessment. Even if true, it’s still a bad idea to sign it.
My old obeast manager tried to get me to sign a PIP that was full of lies and non-factual information given to her by her best friend (also a ham) who happened to be my colleague. I refused to sign it, stating that this information was not correct, and the fat bitch wrote me up for it. I left soon after.

Honest to god this is why at some point regardless of taking a medical oath Doctors are going to have to start refusing to treat or care for the OBESE. Logic seems to always lose in these situations unless pushed, and even then sometimes just to be PR they will still side on the side of stupidity. I would honestly demand to wear a camera at all times as a doctor or nurse just to protect myself if absolute bullshit like this is allowed to happen.

They need to be able to record sound, too.

So here's what happened, I'm still in shock, suffering from flashbacks after I've been heavily triggered by a fat-shaming, bully nurse. Last week on an afternoon I began experiencing excruciating chest pain, horrible, suffocating lack of breath, terrible life-threatening fevers and was coughing my lungs out, it was that bad. Naturally, mom rushed me to the ER. While I was struggling to hold on to dear life the next part of this traumatising episode began and this is a MASSIVE TRIGGER WARNING, okay?
So I was almost dying, I was an inch from death, my mom, who's non-religious was actually praying for me. I was extremely weakened by the horrible condition that I was in and unable to walk, despite the fact that I normally run at least 4 marathons a week which is a major sign that I had to get rushed in NOW. Instead, they expected me to walk. Do you think that they'd ask a thin privileged person to walk?? AM I NOT WORTHY OF CARE??? Was THIS the time for passive aggressive fat shaming?? I gasped for air while I felt the life slipping away and tried to explain that I was in no shape to walk. Begrudgingly did they agree to get a tiny old wheelchair from the other side of the hospital and slowly walked me inside.
After I explained my symptoms they finally agreed that I needed immediate help. So... here comes the next episode... there came the nurse. Obviously complying to the patriarchy and unrealistic beauty standards, but I decided not to be judgemental about this ANOREXIC BITCH. So as we sat down I told her of my long list of conditions that I suffer from that make it absolutely impossible to ever lose a single ounce. (not that my weight was the issue here, thin people die too) I smelled the scepticism and judgement on her part when she wrote down my conditions. ''Okay... PCOS... hypothyroidism....'' (a smirk passed her hollow cheeks) ''arthritis.... Well, that's what you get by eating so much, huh. We know your kind here, fattie, we see you aaaallll the time.''
I was shocked.
''So, just for your own sake of course, what's your height?'' she asked, while having the exact same expression on her face like my former bully. I was already really nervous, anxious and still struggling to live. I had NO time to be bullied. ''5'6'' I answered and added ''please please help me, I'm in so much pain!!'' but she just raised her eyebrows and grabbed a celery stick while staring at me with a face full of judgement. ''So, you corpulent obese healthcare destroyer, you ugly not-to-patriarchy-complying fatass, what's your weight? Should we roll in the cattle scale again?'' (while rolling her eyes) ''..160pounds'' I gasped (yes, I'm a bit chubby, but I have conditions). She looked at me from head to toe, only to sneer ''naaaaah, you weigh at least 400 pounds. Don't lie, fatty''. I started to cry while experiencing the excruciating pains, tropical fevers and DEATHLY coughs! ''please... please.... save me!!'' But she grabbed a cucumber slice, said ''that's your medicine, you whale'', looked at her notes, and asked again ''so what do you weigh?'' I fell silent, just like I did in high school when relentlessly bullied and too embarrassed and scared to speak. ''400 pounds, that's what you weigh. That's my estimate, based on experience with HAMS like yourself''.
She went out of the room while mom was still in the hallway and I just teared up. This was the most horrible afternoon in years. I was so deeply triggered. I had a blackout, this was a nightmare. And THEN! AGAIN, TRIGGER WARNING.
She came back, and I crouched back on the bed. I wanted to just disappear. I felt so humiliated and upset.. she looked at me with a grin and said ''starved of attention, huh? That's the only thing you're starved off.... we see nothing bad here, you're fine, fuck off, go eat a bucket of ice cream, come back when THAT finally kills you. Jeez, can't wait.'' I was so upset and humiliated but I managed to ask ''is there a doctor?'' ''Oh, he won't even bother with fatties like you. We just send you away to rot. BUH-BAAI lard sack!''
Guess what? Then a thin privileged skeleton got rolled in on a bed, and they immediately (!!) all rushed in to help her! While they looked at me with a grin!!
This was traumatising. I filed a complaint and I hope I finally get the care that I desperately need.

They have to add obeast sensitivity training/livestock handling to the list of required medical certifications.
Absolutely ridiculous.
