You Want To Keep Working Here? Then Drop the Doughnut, Fatty
Howard Weyers, the founder and sole owner of Weyco Inc., a Michigan-based insurance claims office, made news recently when he banned the use of tobacco by his employees, regardless of whether they are at work or at home. Four people were forced to quit after refusing to take a mandatory urine test. Now the 71-year-old Weyers is targeting his overweight employees in an attempt to keep all of his people fit and healthy--and lower their health insurance premiums at the same time. Weyers is hoping to develop a master race of slim, non-smoking insurance claims adjusters who will one day rule the world. Source
