Laid off Air Stewardess Of 15 Years Won Justice After Airline Deemed Her To Be Physically Unfit For Flying
Lara a single mother of two have been an air stewardess for a renowned airline for 15 years.
“It was the only job I have experience with after my husband left me.”
During the Annual Evaluation Performance Report She Was Suddenly Told To Leave
“I was shocked! Without no justification I was told to leave just like that. I had no idea what they meant so I went to upper management.”
It was then Lara realized the true meaning of her being laid off. In an effort for retrenchment, the airline used an excuse of her being just 1 tiny bit over “golden standard” as an excuse to fire her with no compensation, being treated in such a way even after 15 years of her loyalty made her helpless and broken.
“I begged them, but they said the decision was final. I was lost, I didn’t know what to do.”
Left with nothing to support her, her two children she was so stressed out she turned to emotional eating and gained almost 50 pounds in two months. Being the sole breadwinner of the family, she could barely bring herself to face her family.
Until One Day…
“When I finally brought up courage to go home and face my family. My daughters couldn’t recognize me and it was at that moment I knew I had to do something.”
The following months was full of workouts. Pilates, Keto, Atkins, Paleo and many more.
“I tried and tried and tried, I even went to a nutritionist and tried counting my calories, It was painful and tiring but I wanted to be a mom they can be proud of.”
Even after trying everything nothing worked and it was at this desperate moment that she got a call from her best friend and former colleague Sophie, asking about her condition and how was she doing,they decided to meet up to chat and catch up.
“I first thought that Sophie was fired too because she tends to be on the bigger side compared to me, but when we met, I couldn’t believe my eyes! She was so slim and has an hourglass waistline. I asked her how she managed to do it.”
Sophie then recommended Lara to Dr Park Min Hyung, A Korean bariatrician working for a research institute.
“Dr. Park recommended me something and pulled out a patch, he told me I just need to stick it on my abdomen.”
“It’s Called Iota™”
This is what Dr. Park said…
“Iota™ was a cumulative effort of 6 years by researching about our ancient methods in Korea. This patch is engineered with state-of-the-art technology. It contains Korean ginseng and rare capsicum extract.”
“These essences penetrate the fatty layer of the skin slowing down the process of carbohydrates turning into fats and in turn speeds up metabolism through detoxification. This way it helps suppress appetite and burn fat cells which in turn naturally cleanses the body from toxins.”
This meant that it would help in tremendous weight loss even without the usual strenuous exercises.
“I was very sceptical at first about how could a silly little patch do anything to me but seeing as I have nothing to lose I went and tried it anyways. But It turned out to be magical!”
Within the first month Lara lost about 19 lbs and by the second month she lost another 35 lbs of weight, by the third month she has lost a total of 86 lbs.
“It Was A Miracle!”
“I started regaining my confidence and started believing in myself again.”
It was at this moment that Lara realized she has been a victim of body shaming and discrimination.
“If a corporation can do this to me it can happen to any woman out there.”
She decided to stand for what is right and proceeded to claim for unfair dismissal and also suing her former airline for discrimination as fate would have it she won the case! The airline issued an apology signed by their CEO and offered Lara her job back.
Lara accepted the offer proving to everyone justice can be served.
“Body shaming should not be tolerated. I'm glad that I led an example to my daughters."
“I wouldn’t be standing here fighting for what is right, if not for the help from Iota™. It allowed me to win my case and get my job back, I hope that no one else in the world have to go through what I have been to.”
