Google rejects job applicants because they're fat

Good for Google, whether its genes or not they still have the ability to get out and do something about their appearance. Whether you like it or not your always going to be judged by appearance.

side note again,

If you have to say "I'm not a kid, I'm XX." You're a kid. I don't care if the XX 13, or 56, as I said before, it's about maturity.

I'm not much older than you, but I'm married, a father, and I have a full time grown up job that pays all the bills. More importantly however, I've matured to the point that I realize that my parents and grandparents were kids at one point. They made mistakes and deviated from their beliefs and what they taught me at some point in their lives. This does not make them bad people and it does not make the lessons they taught us less valuable. All it does is make them people.

Roughly 95% of people have sex before marriage, that's the fact. So, even if it was only ever with your father and he with her, there's a good chance that at least one of them had sex before marriage. It's not 100%, but it's pretty close.

Also again, it doesn't really matter. Whatever happened or didn't happen is in the past and can't be changed and doesn't change the person she was.

I have a friend who works in HR. I know they reject candidates who are grossly overweight simply because their healthcare issues will generally be more expensive than someone who is of normal weight. On average, an overweight person will call in sick more often and submit more insurance claims. My friend will also reject people if he can smell cigarette smoke on them. It may be unlucky for them if they are not the smoker, but second-hand smoke is still a health issue. It is a tough hiring market right now and they get lots of good candidates from which to choose. Items like smoking and weight are becoming deciding factors.

Am I the only one that finds the term "human resources" sort of sinister?

It's my opinion that you came across kind of harsh to the kid.

Also, I'm of the opinion that sex is fine for anyone anywhere but your 95% is off. You have to consider that this is for a random sampling of the entire population, and you can't apply that to a subset. I'm assuming in this case the subset is a white female in a religious family. By the guy's response, I would also assume his parents told him they didn't have premarital sex. So in addition to also having had premarital sex, they would also need to be liars. All in all I'd say it's < 10% that they did.

Good for Google. If you don't respect yourself enough to take care of your body, don't expect me to respect you either.

I discriminate all the time when hiring. Fat people and smokers are on the top of my list. If you don't like it, hire the fat people. I won't mind at all.

College athletes are at the top of my list, always. I would say that I ONLY hire college athletes but that is not entirely true. But, being an athlete in a college setting certainly bubbles you to the top of my list quickly. Clearly that has to be combined with other skills but it shows commitment and discipline. At least for me.

So, go for it Google. If fat people don't like it. they can lose weight. It is that simple. That EASILY got fat, they can easily lose it.
