Today, I got fired from my job at a weight-loss center because I was too skinny, and apparently it's too depressing for the customers to handle. FML

Wouldn't you be something to work towards? Like a source of encouragement? And if someone "overweight" works there, the customers wouldn't see the point of it..

I bet you can find a better job somewhere else ^^

It's better than being fired for being too fat!

Not to mention that pretty much every company that deals with customer service prefers to hire fit/thin/healthy people as, no matter what everyone says here, that's what brings the customers in. I've worked in customer service for 15 years and manage a restaurant and that's what sells the public.

It sucks to get fires I know. You could bring a wrongful termination suit to feel better and get some money in these hard times

That isnt a valid reason to fire someone. Sue them

120 I agree with the health issues. I have problems and can't digest my food properly so I am 6' 125lbs and you wouldn't believe how many people make fun of you for that

Wrongful termination-alert! But hey, at least you're skinny :P
