Shitlording fats at interview lunches Sometimes I wish we could screen candidates by BMI.  But we can't.  sigh Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for non-discrimination when hiring, but being fat is a serious sign of a character flaw.  It's solid evidence of laziness, lack of attention to detail, and a lack of professionalism and maturity.  I can refuse work to a drug addict on the basis of their addiction, why not fats? What we can do is go to lunch at places with booths.  I took a candidate today to lunch as part of his interview to a restaurant I knew had serious shitlord booths and nothing else.  I should have snapped a pic, but the fat was watching.  Not only are the booths at this place narrow enough I don't mind them (I hate having two feet between me and the table), but the booths themselves have small seats, only made to fit one normal person.  The building is historic, and designed for a different era where efficiency was important, not fee fees. Anyway we get in and the fat can't fit in the booth.  I sigh, and we wait as the staff dig out a spare chair, and the fat has to sit awkwardly and uncomfortably in the primary aisle in that part of the restaurant.  Every time the waiter goes to other tables, she has to squeeze by.  I felt sorry for her, but it was a good chance to observe the fat.  He hated it, but didn't even try and accommodate the staff like they did his bulk. He bombed the interview of course, no confidence, no evidence of skills, and a really childish attitude.  I'm going to have a talk with the guy who did his phone screen.  The kind of inappropriate topics he brought up, and his informal way of speaking (you do not call the CEO of the company looking to hire you, "dude") should have been red flags. Probably the best part of lunch shitlording is fats don't realize what they order is part of the interview.  You should always order something conservative and normal.  This fat felt entitled to an appetizer and dessert.  Which of course he got "just for me, do you want one too dude?" I had a caeser salad with smoked salmon.  Partly for the salmon, partly to shitlord and fatshame.
