Daily Rant

The owner of a Michigan company who forced his employees to either quit smoking or quit their jobs has now said he also wants fat workers to lose weight.

Michigan-based Weyco Inc., owned by Howard Weyers handles insurance claims and demanded that employees take a urine test to determine if they smoked. Weyers took it upon himself to ban all his employees from smoking at work or at their homes.

Weyers was "successful", several employees quit smoking and several were forced to quit their job. Now Weyers has decided that overweight employees are next on his hit list.

In defending his causes Weyers said, "I'm not controlling their lives; they have a choice whether they want to work here."

Weyers has hired "life style" coaches and implemented other methods to make his employees exercise during lunch and after work and only eat foods Weyers finds agreeable. What a dick.
