Fat shaming would be when we make judgement about an obese persons personality, lifestyle, etc. Stating they take up more space? Fact.

Just after 9/11, people on SWA would always avoid sitting near me. I'm brown by the way (Indo-American). So for a while, I would have a full row to myself despite it being a nearly full flight.

People also very much avoid sitting next to old people too

Why were you shocked? People didn't want their space invaded by others. And the wanted to avoid being scrunched up against the sweaty and the smelly.

Don't fat shame

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
