Yana
That's a bit intrusive, isn't it ?

I suppose Sumu Wrestlers are exempt then .!

kronik
what a waist...( pun...)

Jean
It’s also a convenient way to fire people for the company’s own purposes…..

It seems like discremenation.

I wonder if all the upset comments are from USA! 🤣🤣🤣 FOR THOSE WHO CANT READ, NO EMPLOYEES ARE FIRED.

Talk about pressure and fat-shaming, but at least we'd all be guilted into a healthier weight....wouldn't want to stand out now, would we...?🫢

And how not being employed, just staying at home doing nothing promotes an even healthier lifestyle? Authorities shouldn't even have a saying in this. People have the right to own their body and eat what they want and as much as they like and feel is ok for them.

hahahaha almost everyone would be fired in USA 🤣

hello humans
kronik, love that joke🤣

lemmy
it's both a good idea and a lawsuit waiting to happen. only in Japan could this make sense
