Hiring managers are usually fat, too. Even if they aren't, HR is all about "diversity" and shit.  Seriously, I had to deal with my (up until now) shitlordy HR head today for just that. I want to go with a less experienced person over a more experienced lazy slob. And had to fight her on it. Because she couldn't see how lazy the fat cunt was.  Ended up going with neither, because fuck me for wanting to find a hardworking shitlady to join me in the male-dominated industry I'm working in.  Edit: I know she was a shitlady. Marketing chick who interviewed for a social media and PPC position in a Dallas suburb, if you're out there, I'm so sorry! You may have lacked the 10 years I was looking for, but I know I could've trained you to get to where I needed you to be! I'm sorry I couldn't make it happen, and fuck corporate politics with a barbed, electric, ten foot dildo.
