Note: I work as the executive assistant to the CEO, so my boss is the CEO. There is no HR. Also, we are a chinese company, so "chinese cultural" aspects or something. Everything said is translated from chinese.
Everyday at work, my boss goes out with the team for lunch together. Typically I stay behind and continue working while they eat, since I enjoy my alone time and I'm usually not hungry until later in the day. Today was the same. He asked me if I was going to go for lunch and I said no. He then said:
"You don't eat lunch yet you're still fat."
I was completely shocked. I just chuckled and continue working. My coworker, another woman, was absolutely shocked. She quickly defended me as said "She's not fat! She's healthy." My other coworker, a man, said "She's fat?... I'm actually fat so... I don't really think so."
Honestly I feel like complete shit. I've had body image issues for my whole life, and struggled with extended periods of disordered eating. I finally got to a place where I feel relatively comfortable and ate while listening to my body's needs. I'm 21, 173cm(5'8'') and hover between 130-135lb. I just want to leave and go home. I know there's a lot of work to be done, but I'm just over it mentally. I don't understand how anyone has the capacity to say such a thing for no reason. I really did nothing wrong. I don't understand. I feel bad.
Thanks guys.
