Reply #19: It was a report on how companis were dictating employees' personal lives [View All]

[Armstead]

Profiled one employers who fired employees for smoking on their own time. Not smoking on the job.

Expanded to show how employers were starting to do similar things to demand "wellness" of employees, to reduce their own health care costs.

Plus how companies like Wal Mart are starting to emphasize hiring of "healthy" associates. In otehr words, if you're fat or have high blood pressure, etc. you may not get a job, regardless of whether or not it affects your job performance.
