T'exagères en esti Simone. "Systématiquement déconsidéré pour l'obtention des emplois et des promotions"? Peut-être si tu veux être lifeguard, mais à part ça , à moins d'avoir un recruteur imbécile devant toi, si t'es qualifié tes chances d'avoir la job sont aussi bonnes que les autres.
Les laids par contre perdent contre les beaux 100% du temps
Je pense que ton affirmation est faite en toute bonne foi, mais les études démontrent le contraire.
Bias, discrimination and obesity"Studies on employment have shown hiring prejudice in laboratory studies. Subjects report being less inclined to hire an overweight person than a thin person, even with identical qualifications. Individuals make negative inferences about obese persons in the workplace, feeling that such people are lazy, lack self-discipline, and are less competent. One might expect these attributions to affect wages, promotions, and disciplinary actions, and such seems to be the case.

Stigmatization in educational settings seems to take place at all ages. From teasing of obese children to college acceptance, an overweight individual faces serious challenges.We would expect this to affect self-esteem, intellectual self-efficacy, and very tangible outcomes like where one attends college and employment opportunities. One telling study found that parents of overweight children provided them less support for college than parents did for their thin children. It is strong prejudice indeed when parents discriminate against their own children."
A meta-analysis of empirical studies of weight-based biasin the workplace"The results of this meta-analytic study suggest that in relation to non-overweight individuals in the workplace, overweight individuals may bedisadvantaged across evaluative workplace outcomes. Further, differences inmagnitude of the effects of weight-based bias were found for hiring and performance outcomes.

For example, Roehling’s review of weight-based discrimination in employment settings concluded that evidence fordiscrimination against overweight individuals can be found at virtually every stage of the employment process, including selection (e.g., Klesges et al., 1990), placement (e.g., Bellizzi et al., 1989), compensation (e.g., Register & Williams, 1990), motion (e.g., Boridieri, Drehmer, & Taylor, 1997), discipline (e.g., Bellizzi & Norvell, 1991), and termination (e.g., Kennedy &Homant, 1984). Further research concerning negative attitudes toward overweight people in the workplace has suggested that such individuals are seen by their coworkers and supervisors as lacking self-discipline and self-control (e.g., Bellizzi & Norvell, 1991;Klassen, Jasper, & Harris, 1993; Klesges et al., 1990; Larkin & Pines, 1979; Rothblum, Miller, & Garbutt, 1988), being lazy and not trying as hard as others at work (e.g. Bellizzi & Norvell, 1991; Klassen et al., 1993; Larkin & Pines, 1979; Larwood, 1995), possessing poor work habits, and having less conscientiousness, competency, skill, and ability than individuals of ‘‘average”weight (e.g., Klesges et al., 1990; Larkin & Pines, 1979; Larwood, 1995). Moreover, overweight individuals in the workplaceare also viewed as more likely to be absent from work (e.g., Klesges et al., 1990), and less likely to get along with, and beaccepted by their coworkers and subordinates (e.g., Bordieri et al., 1997; Klesges et al., 1990)."
Obesity Discrimination in the Recruitment Process: “You’re Not Hired!”" In doing so the current study has demonstrated that when weight status is not revealed, candidates are perceived as more suitable for employment than obese candidates. This effect was observed for both males and females.
Second, the findings demonstrated that obese candidates were evaluated as less suitable across all four workplaces of different physical demand, in particular by participants from heavy manual workforces. This finding demonstrates that irrespective of the physical demand of a job, obese candidates are perceived as less suitable for employment compared with normal weight candidates and when the weight status of the candidate is not revealed. It is likely that stereotypes of obese people as less physically capable and slothfulness (Puhl et al., 2008; Sawbridge and Fitzgerald, 2009) have contributed to this finding."
En tout cas. Je peux continuer longtemps, mais en gros, non, il ne suffit pas de ne pas avoir affaire à un recruteur débile pour avoir des chances aussi bonnes que les autres.
