My CFO has now coined the team "culturally fit" as his term for "not fat" and the recruiter now hate his guts. Its not even clever.

Can you change it to another shade of purple for printing? How many color printers have you tried this on?

We're gonna work with the logo people on the shade but we use one kind of major printer in the office and at fedex office it prints mostly fine.

The images you use for printing should all be CMYK anyway, where you would have full control of how thing print and can go as far as only working in pantone colours. You're probably sending RGB to a printer and it's having to figure out what that's meant to be.

Your branding people should really be all over this

Redesign your logo monochrome and have it printed in the only color that matters: the dark red of your enemy�s life blood as it spills upon the battlefield.

If users are always the root of the problem,
maybe just this once they can be the solution instead.

Outside of a few edge cases(MI, San Francisco, and a few other cities, or if it is the direct result of a certain health problems) being overweight is not a protected status in the US, or most of the rest of the world. It is also a grey area to direct recruiters to spend more of their time trying to hire people of a protected status as long as there is no discrimination between those that apply. It is unlikely that they would investigate unless someone was fired because their weight was the result of an ADA or ADA AA recognized disability. Even if the EEOC acts on reports it is unlikely that the CFO would be fired, the penalties are relatively minor for this type of discrimination, and more likely they would just have to implement an anti-harassment policy. Look at what happened with Victoria Hospital in TX, they were already being investigated for racial discrimination and enacted a policy not to hire high BMI individuals. There was no penalty for them, they only reversed the policy because of bad publicity.

Really it would be best for everyone to prevent this problem before it starts, and meet with HR about implementing an anti-harassment policy before the CFO does something stupid
