Thomas Hunt, 48, claims his manager at a Raymour & Flanigan furniture store in Queens was so fixated on Hunt’s weight that she ordered him to establish a “fat club,” recruit members and act as its president.

The exec, Marlene Albarano, relentlessly ribbed Hunt about his extra poundage, a Brooklyn Supreme Court lawsuit claims — even denying him a promotion solely because of his appearance and once ordering him to walk around the building for 30 minutes on his lunch break, according to court papers.

When she espied Hunt eating cookies at a staff meeting, Albarano allegedly announced to everyone present that her mother had taught her to keep her mouth shut — “something [Hunt] clearly did not know how to do.”

The constant criticism was discriminatory and humiliating, said Hunt. I love the title. "fed up".......

It sounds like that fatty-McFatterson, has NEVER been 'fed up'....lulz

So.....you buy a furniture store.....and inherit some of the staff......In many places, you're FORCED to keep the staff.

So you've got this nice new store, and you're hoping to make a living....and there's this Giant fat fucking piece of shit, waddling all over the store....and trying to sell furniture for you........

Should you

1) Ignore his fatness, and demand that your customers do so too?

2) Falsify something, like 'hey he stole', and use that as ground for firing?

3) Talk to him, and try to get him to shed some weight, so he's not an embarrassment to your business?


Option 1= you go out of business, due to loss in sales

Option 2= morally wrong, and possibly illegal

Option 3= You get sued.

It seems after the fat fuck lost his job.........

He's had trouble finding a new job.

Shouldn't he sue all the places he's applied......for not hiring him?

[aaaaaaaabbbby]

Got news for Marlene.. She's going to lose this lawsuit.

The way the laws are written, this is clearly what is termed "hostile workplace harassment" and she's fucked.

Should have just cut his hours, stuck him in the back, come up with a reason to fire him.. Something..

But running her mouth just about guarantees that the fat guy is going to win this..

She should have handled it differently. I certainly would have.

I'd have switched his shift......cut hours.....included scrubbing toilets as his duties.....put him on some deliveries....etc.

I wonder why she didn't take that path?

Was it because she was FORCED to keep him, under the laws (due to unions)? And wasn't able to cut his time, or change his duties, so she opted to try and sorta 'drive' him away?

[intorkercet]

No idea.. But now she's going to have to pay him for not working..

Bad move.

No doubts.

I'd have figured out a better way. lol

Started an ergonomic program.....with jogging or something similar. He'd have left in a week....and couldn't have complained. I'd have hung pictures of obama up, and cheerfully banned all sugar products for a few days. For everyone's own good, or some such shit.

Notice how when Fatty complained......the company backed the manager?

IMO, there's more to this, than just her being a bitch.

Why would it matter if he's fat or not?

If he was doing the job satisfactorily,
and not so fat that he was breaking/ruining any of the furniture/product ,
you know ...

[7UENf0w7]

In his defence, he's only fat.

Not like he rapes women, or abuses kids or anything.

Well.....most furniture stores don't have wide aisles, and are packed pretty tight.

With that in mind.....do you want some cute, neatly dressed person, who can smile, and talk to people......answer questions, and encourage people to buy?

Or do you want some Michel Moore looking fat fucker, who has to wipe his ass with a cloth tied to a stick? Who still has food stains on their shirt...and people naturally tend to avoid?

I'm not saying it was 'that' bad......but in sales......I can understand how you put people forward, that project the image you want.......No one wants the image of a big fat smelly fucking cretin.

*scoffs*

How is being a fatty, not worse than rape?

lol Okay, that made me giggle.

[LSDDSL]

If I did have a problem buying from someone that was fat,

I suppose I could look for a different salesperson, eh?

It was interesting that they not only omitted a picture of the man,
they also refrained from any mention of his actual weight.

*scoffs*

+1 Teh logics.

[VipInoLo]

I bow to the greater logic.

[Mboxmaja]

+1 Teh logics.

I R logical.

Some of our fellow ows 99%ers have declared that rape is fine......Till some dickheads set up 'safe havens'.

Clearly......being fat is worse than being a rapist.

Do you hear the obama's bitching about rape? NOPE......because fatty's are the real problem here!

teh logik!! yay

[Annewsded]

It's just surprise sex anyway..

"rape" peh..

lol

[Lapsinuibense]

lol...

[ireleda]

Was it one of those situations where the boss had the entire team treat him like he was some sort of "fat nerd" or waterboy just to try to force him to quit?
