What??? And deprive us of all the proto-romantic shenanigans for which we're clearly being set up?
Renee is a pain, but every soap opera needs a character that people love to hate.

I know you have the "employment at will" thing in the USA (I have no idea how MA state law would interfere), but I'd be a bit surprised if this was a one-strike-and-you're-out matter. The boss could argue that asking a co-worker to take their top off would be sexual harassment, or "creating a hostile workplace", I suppose, but considering the shenanigans people get up to in the workplace in QCverse all the time, I can't see it happening.

--- Quote from: Gyrre on 15 Mar 2017, 23:21 ---We're not all fat. Some of us are a bit pudgy, chunky, or doughy. And sometimes it accompanies large skeletal frames (regardless of height).

There's also the matter of personal perspective. I consider myself rather fat at 6'4" 240. Then again, I have been careful to avoid adding a bunch of muscle mass.

That's partly why I brought up skeletal frame sizes.
Rough field test: Take your dominant hand and tightly grasp your opposite wrist with just the thumb and middle finger.
If your thumb and middle finger overlap, probably a small bone frame ('lanky' if tall).
If the tips touch, probably a medium bone frame.
If there's a gap between the tips, probably a large bone frame ('stocky' if short).
This is more taking into account bone width rather than bone length. And, yes, it's ultimately the source of the euphemism "big boned". Which is often true, just with excess body fat.
hedgie:
Yeah, mine overlap. Aside from my hips/butt, I'd be a stick figure if I ate better and didn't drink (I started again the night of 8 Nov).

In real life, judging by my own experience in the food trade, it would be "Hey ho, just another day at the office". I've seen weirder things than that happen goodness knows how many times.
