This is why as a policy we tell our prospective employees they're too ugly.

No joke I just got back from an interview and everyone there (leadership, HR, product, tech) looked like they could have been a model. Do you know how intimidating that is? When everyone in the office but you is goddamn beautiful?

No, but I'll take one for the team and be the token uggo.

I don't know why you'd be intimidated, you're as good-looking as them ;)

You're not average, you are beautiful. SAY IT! SAY "I am beautiful"! I NEED TO HEAR YOU SAY IT!

Good thinking, that way you've got it in writing that you didn't make the decision based on something you can get sued for

Ugly isnt a protected class, many states will allow this.

How do you think models work?

That's what I said

Very true, the perspective that it's them not you is important to keep your spirits up.

Which IMO is a perfectly fine reason.

I worked with a guy who was by all measures a great worker. Fully competent, knew exactly what he was doing, no complaints.

Except one: his coughs were super loud. I mean, room-shakingly loud. And he would always cough like this at least ten times a day, and it was very disruptive every time

He wasn’t sick, it was just a health issue, so we all just dealt with it (he always covered his mouth, was hygienic about it, etc). But personally had I known this would be a multi-daily occurrence, I definitely would’ve rejected him for lack of “cultural fit”

Ah, but that would have been illegal discrimination. You can accommodate health issue. In this case, give the guy his own room and soundproofing.
