What a martyr.

I’m sure he’s missed plenty of Saturday’s at his place of worship...

I work for a Seventh Day Adventist company. They’re really strict about who can work on Saturdays. Only absolutely essential employees are allowed to work.

The man will now own the company.

The EEOC is now actually working for the “people”, not some of the people.

What does the Frito Bandito think of this?

Have run into this many times. You can not make an employee do something that violates their religious beliefs. You have to make reasonable accommodations. In this case it sounds like they could have trained him on another day but chose not to just to be jerks.

That has consequences.

Had one employee who was Jewish who could not work from sundown on Friday until sundown on Saturday. His supervisor gave him a rough time about it and it was my job to try to find a compromise.

I asked him if the employee could work Sunday instead. I knew that was a hard day to schedule. The supervisor just about had a conniption fit. He was not going to ask someone to work on the Sabbath.

I had the poor guy transferred to a work crew that was not headed by someone with rocks in their head.
