View postHide post The New York Times published a report based on a leaked the foodfit plan internal memo from Wal-Mart's executive vice president for benefits. While it does a lot of hand ringing about fatness and long-term employees, there was no indication that the foodfit plan any active discrimination was being advocated. The closest is a misguided attempt to introduce physical labor to positions that wouldn't ordinarily require physical labor like cashiers. Presumably based on the false assumption that fat people are sedentary the foodfit plan and who will flee from physical activity. Nevertheless, a memo like this will foster an environment of hostility towards fat employees as well as longer-term employees. It is likely that managers will feel pressured to avoid hiring fat applicants even if there is no overt expression of intent to discriminate. Not that an overt expression isn't likely itself.
