Lifestyle tips

Munchies:
And the stress. Call centers are bad for your waistline. Inactivity, stress, encouraging poor dietary habits, and an even poorer work life balance the higher you go in the company.

Last call center I worked out, people were forever fighting the battle of the pudge. Wasn't uncommon to see 300+ lbs people. We had a gym, but the only people who used it were those who were already in good shape. Everyone else would get the fattening cafeteria food, the vending machine food, or stuff from the neaby fast food joints.

My feedism side adores the idea of working in a callcenter, having fat coworkers, and beeing able to have a big fattening lunch and a buch of snacks. At the same time my brain thinks of it as a terrible idea because of what a terrible working experience it seems to be.[/quote]

Def for sure. If you get a job at a call center to gain weight, you are not going to last long enough to gain weight.

It’s easy to get fat doing any job… I mean it just depends how much you eat, try to stick to company/business/employer near a lot of places to eat out at. Also, depends how strict lunches/breaks are.

I always thought being the Fat Lady at a circus would be good for that.

Look out for office jobs with overweight coworkers.
They might order Pizza from time to time and are probably less judging than one of those environments where people are kinda active and exchange the newest recepies for healthy salads and talk behind one‘s back about new acquired pounds.

You're making me miss having an office haha! (Remote worker here)
I had one job at which I was told people usually gain weight when they join. The fact I was often walking to my desk with a plate full of baked goods in the morning left not much doubt of that...

call center and at home customer service

Food tester I would do really good at that.

I put on a lot of weight during the pandemic. Working at home really killed the little bit of exercise I got from commuting, and I was around food all of the time and ate a lot of out of boredom. Plus we ordered in a lot of delivery food items from the local restaurants we wanted to support. My weight has kind of (but not totally) stabilized since I've been going back to the office. Part of it is the commute and not having food as handy and close/convenient. But also, as inflation has pushed up the price of food, when I go out to eat at work I think the portions have shrunk and the costs have gone up, so I think my calorie intake has gotten smaller. At least until someone brings in donuts.

Again office jobs are the best, I started working in an office in June and have gained nearly 50 lbs since then

Since I work at a library, I sit down at the desk most of the time. When I’m away from the desk, I would snack in between meals.
