Didn’t Homer Simpson do this? He put on some extra weight and then got to work from home.
Pareto's principle is a simple reality!
A few decades ago in sales, engineering and other disciplines, companies and institutions recognized that 20% of their employees contributed 80 % of the positive results.
On the negative side, 20% of the employees caused 80%+ of the problems.
The smart companies/institutions rewarded the positive 20% and minimized or got rid of the bad 20%.
Then, a few decades ago, the deadly PCism of Affirmative Action took over.
First you could not identify the positive 20% and before you hired them and then reward the top 20% as employees.
Then/now you could not get rid of the 20 % that caused 80%+ of the problems.
Jobs have now become a right! Every employee gets a participation award regardless of lack of any positive contributions.
What is never discussed! Is what is being done to the top 20% of the producers to force them to bring in results to pay for the non producers.
Nowadays, it’s possible to be in both categories (highly productive and yet a troublemaker).

IIRC, he then started working wearing a muumuu. Oh, for the days when the Simpsons was funny!
He just said the obese can’t handle the same work load as everyone else and require special accommodations.
Start seeing massive campaigns never to hire the obese without being accused of discrimination.
Also, longer lunches.

What about that sour, yeasty body odor off of the chubbies? That is a bio hazard for the rest of us.
Dude.
Why is there obesity in the world?
I call myself a drunk who is currently sober.
When I began this journey of getting away from my intoxication ten years ago I had 30 more pounds on me than I have now.
My experience is walking away from my selfish intoxicating ways also reduced my binge eating and increased my productivity at work resulting in weight loss.
That’s my perspective.
