Sarah had been working at her new job for only a few weeks when she overheard her coworkers making fun of her behind her back. They joked about her size and even went as far as to call her “the elephant in the room.”
Determined to prove them wrong, Sarah worked harder than ever to excel in her job. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shake the feeling that her colleagues were judging her for her weight.
One day, Sarah decided to confront her coworkers. She told them that their comments were hurtful and that she deserved to be treated with respect. To her surprise, they apologized and made an effort to be more inclusive.
Sarah learned that sometimes standing up for yourself is the best way to gain respect and that a fat ass shouldn’t define your worth in the workplace.
