I am post menopausal with thyroid disease. The biometrics are not only ageist but s-xist. Men on the whole lose weight way faster than women do.
I made the biometrics two years in a row but what happens as your body adjusts, is it becomes even harder to get to the next 2%.
I gained over 50 pounds in the last 2 decades due to Honeywell subjecting me to sleep deprivation, overtime and globalization. Plus Honeywell de facto placed me in a cage tethered to a Skype phone.
In the pre-global days, we walked between meetings. My site has no gym. I do get in 10000 steps but a slowed metabolism needs more and more work as we age.
I have EEI OT each week. Add onto that telecons at night and early morning. Telecon at 10 pm, another at midnight. Go to bed and wake up at 5 for Puerto Rico, and a different India one at 7 am.
Yes, that’s 4 hours of sleep. The less sleep, the more cortisol is released and the higher the chance of diabetes, high bp, stroke, weight gain.
I stopped using HON’s insurance for this reason. My husband’s asks for biometrics from the employee only, and does not penalize; they reduce premiums just for reporting the numbers.
