@sammicohentalks: ok the backstory on this study is the best part. Harvard economist Rebecca Diamond only dug into this because a friend told her people started treating her completely differently after she went on a GLP-1 so she pulled data on 10,000+ people to check. So yeah… unemployed women who started GLP-1s got hired way more. But only the ones actively job hunting. If they already had a job, there was basically no bump. What this tells me is that it ultimately it comes down to the first impression.
Ok but the correlation between usage and hiring doesn’t mean the causation is pretty privilege. It could also be that people who can afford to constantly take it also are in a more affluent and connected group, and can find better opportunities.

I worked terrible dead end jobs for years. 2 years ago I started my weight loss journey. Lost 70lbs and now am average and conventionally attractive. Got hired by a huge company/name. It’s still insane to me that I got this job, but I know my weight loss is part of it.

They don’t want the increase in company wide healthcare costs. That’s what I was told on the dl. Real pretty privilege is only towards the opposite sex. Women in the workplace attack pretty women.

I see a lot of comments saying maybe they’re more motivated to get a job to cover the costs, but it’s like.. max $500/mo out of pocket. I don’t think that moves the dial compared to the stress of not having work, and would be worth looking at the types of jobs and average salaries and locations (e.g. $500 in NYC is a lot less incremental PP than a rural area) in the study

That’s why I’ll never see being called “vain” as an insult. Presentation influences perception, and perception influences how people treat you. Appearance matters.

Did there energy changes? Were they more confident in interviewing because of the loss weight? Would love a deeper dive of why.

I think I’ve worked with 1 attractive woman in all the jobs I’ve worked at in my life. So I probably aren’t getting hired at these jobs that do this. Lol

When I was in private wealth management 10 years ago, obviously GLP ones weren’t prevalent then, but I remember one of our wealth advisors being told he was never going to get promoted until he lost some weight, Got a better haircut, and got better suits.

This is why many naturally skinny women hate GLP-1. They worried about the competition 😂
