Do job really look at the fact that a person is fat so they don’t believe they can do the work

Did that happen to someone you know? That shouldn't be a factor if the person can do the job like everyone else, but it doesn't surprise me that such things still happen.

I'm sending you all the best wishes from here.

It shouldn't ever happen. The only thing that should matter is your ability to do the job, not your physical appearance. I'm really sorry this happened to you. It's disgusting and unfair.

It should never happen, but just like ageism and racism, there will always be people who discriminate against others. I am genuinely sorry that you experienced that.

I mean that's technically illegal discrimination. If that happened to you, I'm really sorry. People shouldn't judge other people.

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
