Is it problematic? Certainly not for the employee. Surely there's about a 10-20 year span where this person is getting ahead due to factors that are external to their work before age starts to take its toll on their looks. A bald, average-looking, overweight man and a slim, attractive man with a full head of hair with the exact same production will not be treated the same in most companies. Of the two, the more attractive guy will be seen as management material. A future face of the company. So they will get promoted first. And once they get ahead, they're not giving that lead up, because these comparisons will happen again and again at leach level. And the Theranos woman? Her connections got her the fame she needed, and she then relied on cultish tropes to trick folks into giving her money. Even with hours in a makeup chair, she's barely even attractive at all.
