Dear All,
Greetings for the day
I came across one situation in my friend’s case; I need all ur inputs on this.
My friend got selected in one of the reputed industry as Asst Manager -Purchases. He was hired through consultancy. He got offer letter and they have asked him to confirm the joining date at the earliest and they have told him that he has to undergo pre- employment medical.
So he have resigned his current job and confirmed his joining date . He attended medical test at that time the doctors have spoken to him in different way commented him for his heavy weight.
After that he was tried to reach the HR but she didn’t respond to his calls after two days she have sent sms to him that " the offer has been cancelled due to his High BMI and over weight- sorry- all the best".
I was surprised to hear that is High BMI and over weight is unfit for employment that to for private organizations.
If they have that criteria , by seeing himself at interview they can judge because he looks very fatty.
Whatever the case that HR should have minimum courtesy to call him and explain the reasons and make him comfortable
Based on this offer he resigned his current job and in handover process. This spoiled his career.
Why can’t they issue offer letter after medical tests? if they have their own standards.
And form consultancy people he came to know that HR is not interested in him from initial stage but due to functional managers decision she have issued offer.
What actions right now he can take?
What you people comment on this issue?
Thanks,
Satya
