Obesity has become a concern of contemporary society and has been the subject of interest of research in various fields of knowledge. In the field of administration in general and more specifically in the areas of organization studies and personnel management, this issue has been sidelined, leaving gaps and open questions. In this research, we aim to characterize, as the vision of obese people, as the prejudice against those manifested in the sphere of labor. Therefore, we conducted a survey through a form available to a group of users online social network Facebook, whose participants underwent bariatric or gastric bypass surgery procedure, and it was completed by 290 members. For the analysis of the responses, we use the frequency analysis and content analysis. We identify three final categories: (1) the abomination of the obese body; (2) the obese body as failure; and (3) the inability of the obese body. The survey results point to the relationship between the social construction of the body in contemporary society and the stigma experienced by obese, especially in the organizational context, signaling a promising field of study.
