It’s your first week at a new job, and you’ve enjoyed it so far. Your manager and coworkers are nice and welcoming; everything seems to be going fine. Then Harlyn from HR schedules a meeting with you to check in. You arrive without any expectations and are blindsided when she asks why you haven’t requested any accommodations. You get flustered—you aren’t disabled, so why would you need accommodations? Harlyn says, “Your size!” Apparently you’re the fattest employee the company has ever had, and there’s been some concern about comfort—and not just your comfort, but the comfort of everyone else as well. You can tell that Harlyn is trying to be nice yet matter-of-fact about the subject, but still…are you seriously being fat-shamed by HR? This clip is gender-neutral.
