Weight issues
by Becky - January 14, 2008 - 1:11 PM

pLast November, Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling negotiated himself an eight-digit one-year contract…with a built-in “fat clause” that would give him $2 million in “weight incentives.” Stay tuned to his blog for weigh-in updates! That’s a nice statement coming after a year in which companies began fining workers for unhealthy lifestyles. Clarian Health docks workers $10/paycheck for being overweight, but then IBM offers $150 for their employees to enroll their children in programs that combat obesity. ;;Right after I left MTV, I heard about an office pool re: who could lose the most weight in two weeks. Go team! Amazing. If only I were there…And if only I could cast Bill Murray as my team’s diet coach. That would be something.

  3. I’m not sure if I’m up for the work, but I’ve heard of people selling their own house instead of using a realtor. It would be ice to save the fees they charge, but I’m afraid I’d screw something up and end up in debt or in legal trouble. No thanks.

  4. Yes, we all have. Every time time we walk into a Human Resources office and apply for a position with that company.
