Obesity in Business = Bad
It’s 2009. While the rest of the world is busy trying to live up to their recently concocted resolutions, I bet there is one resolution they’re having a hard time sticking to – losing weight.
Seriously, obesity is becoming a problem even in the business world that we really ought to do something about it. I mean, just recently, one of the project managers in my company got a memo because one of her teams is not performing well. I later found out that it’s because their team leader have not been able to report for work a lot of times over the past two months and consequently was not able to supervise his team well. When asked for his reason, he said he had been having heart problems due to his being overweight. Looking at his really huge figure, he need not say more.
Still, business is business. We’re here to make profit… Hmmm… perhaps we should resort to company sponsored weight loss pills and free fitness center memberships. What do you think?
