Took a risk at work today.

[RedPillBonerParticipant 541]

I fly EMS helicopters and the majority of the medics and flight nurses I work with are female. There is one in particular that barely meets the weight requirement although she is friendly enough. Today as
I was leaving shift and she was coming on shift somehow we got on the fat subject. We as in all of us. She then said “time out let’s change the subject because I am in the fat category”. I looked at her and said “persons name, then change it. You know you are fat and you don’t like it so change your life. Nobody is stopping you but yourself”. Everything was quiet for a few seconds then the conversation shifted. She didn’t seem p~~~ed off. We will see if it comes back to bite me.

i’m pretty sure being a pilot is not exactly a position considered disposable by your employer. i’m sure you’re fine.

This body holding me is a reminder of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. Remember, we are eternal and all this pain is an illusion.

Nice.
I took a risk today and when I overheard a woman saying that “all men, blah blah blah ”
I said MEN?
The building your in was made by men.
The electric,
The plumbing,
The computer’s,
The car’s,
The roads,
The WORLD was made by MEN!
Her face dropped.
Priceless.

Thank you for this thread.
The title is cause for concern and hopefully not regret.
Winston Churchill said, almost, “Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, risk your career.”
I really don’t enjoy going against the title like this, but you just can’t, IMO take that risk.
It is just not worth it.
It’s like a greased woman in a pig pit saying, “come on, give it a go, let’s wrastle.”

~~”if you answer a fool according to their folly, you will be like him(her) yourself, if you don’t answer a fool, they will think they are smarter” this means that it’s best to say nothing and fatty will think, “there, I certainly took care of that, hhmmph” and think she’s so ‘smert’.
Kind of a know-it-all girly thing.
Now you’ve got the possibility of her causing all kinds of legal headaches. Who said what , who heard what, is this to be considered harassment/hostile work environment/sexism etc.
DON’T GET ME WRONG PLEASE, I agree with your assessment 110%,
chances are there are ############’s supervisors who also agree with you
and are waiting for the right time to make their move – – that’s how they became supervisors.
Hope this helps.
Also, take heart in the fact that ‘at work’ your silence will be recognized by others as,”I KNOW he wants to say something here just like me, but he is wisely choosing to stay silent because he’s at work.”

Silence, in and of itself, is an answer.
The person talking the least is usually the most powerful.
Except for my comments 🙂

I doubt it, every time I speak truthfully and directly to a person I’m like Master Yoda being shielded by the force.\

@redpillboner:

Learn the art of STFU. It will serve you well. Where I live, military trained chopper pilots with assloads of flight hours leave the service on a regular basis.

Stealth is the way.

I’m with you one the fat thing. Hopefully, you have awakened her. It can be overcome.

[Anonymous 42]

Ya can’t get f~~~ed for something someone else brought up! It’s what we call “an opening”, and personally I’ll try to sail the whole fleet through it!

[KeymasterKeymaster]

As long as you delivered it confidently, and didn’t backpedal or apologize for saying it, it’s unlikely she will lash out about it. Because you don’t actually BELIEVE you did anything wrong.

You can say anything you want – to anyone – and get away with it, if you say it with enough authority. If you stand behind it enough, they think “wow, he’s being sincere! even though it wasn’t what I wanted to hear”.

Where women will be more likely to “punish” you for that, is if she “acted all offended” and you started backpedaling and apologizing like you THOUGHT you may have done (or said) something wrong. “Im sorry!!! I didn’t mean you’re fat! I meant….. “, that’s when she might think “hey he was really out of line there”.

But if you’re direct and unapologetic, they may not “like” it, but they will respect it.

MOST people are not prepared to respond to honesty and directness.
It’s definitely an advantaged position.

Personally, when a woman alludes to being “fat” and especially if she is fishing for a compliment, I just flash a s~~~-eating grin and say “well, I wasn’t going to say anything……”. The worst thing that happens is she punches me on the shoulder and says “OH, YOU JERK!!” and then both of us have a giggle about it.

THE WORST thing to do is say “OMG YOU’RE SO NOT FAT”.
Leave that to her gay best friend.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

[ShinyParticipant 2307]

That display of male authority probably turned her on.

[Deadly RaverParticipant]

Not really a risk man. They aren’t tossing a chopper pilot over some hurt feels. Even if they did, you’re a chopper pilot. You could fly for the hospital, or you can fly for a private operation, or even go into your own business. You don’t find chopper pilots standing in the unemployment line for good reasons, so I wouldn’t worry much about my job were I you.

Learn from the past, Control the present, and you will know the Future.

[ILiveAgainParticipant]

I hope her nice personality helps reduce your mtow.

[Anonymous 11]

Man, you’re going to be OK. Not every woman is an SJW with a chip on her shoulder, but I take no chances, ever. As stated before, you would not be unemployed very long. However, we are all replaceable. I’m damn good at what I do too, but I’m not the only one.

I do know of the three hospitals serving my area one is so PC it’s not even funny so do be careful. I don’t trust any woman or ever give one ammo to use against me. They bank that s~~~ for future use.

Oh yea, I have a slightly bent one I’d be glad to shove up Golden Vagina and HR’s ass! F~~~ing c~~~ leaves it open and I’m grabbing some junk and shoving it in!

I can be a porcupine Tampax when so motivated!

[Anonymous 11]

My friend’s ex wife is an HR goddess and maximum c~~~. She is dumb as a box of rocks and pulls down 150K a year. The spiteful things she did to him were God awful. He is just now getting on his feet again after 19 years of pure hell.

I am a man not a resource.

I agree regarding the aspect of confidence in authority. The other key is that you let them dig there own grave. Let them present the evidence, then you connect the dots for them.

It’s hard to tell exactly what happened in OP’s situation, but it sounds like that’s exactly what OP did. He didn’t put her down for being fat…he paid attention to the problem she was sharing(indirectly) and offered constructive advice. She was uncomfortable with the topic because it was too close to home. He didn’t insult her, he was just honest.

Ok. Then do it.

You’ll probably be fine. She provoked you first with an insult.

[TaxGuyParticipant]

If she barely meets the weight requirement then she is a potential safety hazard to you when you fly with her, and she is risking her career. What you said to her was out of concern for her career and your crew’s safety. You don’t have an office job where someone else’s weight doesn’t matter. It’s a matter of life and death every time you fly.

At least that’s what I’d tell HR if they asked.

Order the good wine

[treelville..miamiParticipant 893]

Speak your mind bro. To hell with what that fat cow thinks, she’s a hypersensitive whale and besides, what you said may motivate her to stop eating so much crap. Women always wonder why they’re fat in public like it’s this big mystery lol, they know exactly why their fat,they absolutely love junk food. All women, fine ones and fat ones all splurge on junk food like fat pigs in a pig pen.
