Muslim workers say they were fired for praying

[taxslave]

I pray 5 times a day. Anybody want to cut me down for it?

Quit hitting the wrong nail with the hammer. Cuts down on wasted time prayin and as a bonus it won't hurt anymore.

 

[petros]

Why would it hurt? If you're thankful for what you do have, you spend a lot less time bitching about what you don't have.

 

[CDNBear]

Petros, are you not self employed?

 

[SLM]

Petros, are you not self employed?

Yes but his boss is a real ****.

LOL

 

[petros]

Yup.

 

[CDNBear]

Yup.

Then you can pray all day if you want.

In a policy structured bidniz, it isn't so. So long as there is no preferential treatment for anyone else.

 

[petros]

Under contract, it's still not my time.

 

[CDNBear]

Under contract, it's still not my time.

Then the company you're contracted to work for is generous.

That doesn't mean that all have to be, nor is there any law that requires them to.

 

[petros]

A happy worker is a productive worker. If somebody needs 5 minutes 3 times a day during work hours, it's well worth it.

Smokers are a bigger hassle than Muzzies.

Not in argument, I actually, that was very much apart of my business philosophy, and the reason why I'm still close to the bulk of my past employees.

But it doesn't change the fact that while it is nice, it is not law.

 

[petros]

If we need laws to be generous and keep people happy, it's time to pack it all in and give up on society.

 

[CDNBear]

If we need laws to be generous and keep people happy, it's time to pack it all in and give up on society.

Don't be silly.

 

[SLM]

What the laws are needed for is to keep things as equitable as possible and prevent bias from being a factor.

 

[petros]

What is silly about it. By law employers are obligated to give 1/2 an hour. If somebody wants to break that 1/2 an hour into three prayer breaks, so be it. It's their time.

 

[captain morgan]

I think it comes down to the policy of the employer. If people can go out at a non-scheduled time and have a smoke, there is no reason a Molslem cannot pray at his scheduled times. But if the employer says all breaks shall be at 8:15PM, then goober's prayer shedule makeup rules would come into effect.

Not knowing the exact policy, it is hard to comment further.

The difference here is that people that head-out for a non scheduled smoke can be let go without the employer facing a specific clause that allows for accomodation

If it weren't for laws, nobody would get breaks.

That's a good example of silly.

Not all jobs are capable of doing that.

"Hey Bob, stop the line, I'm going to pray."

"Ok Moe, what do we do about the line of trucks ready to dump though?"

"Screw them, it's my half hour, I'll break it up anyway I want. I don't care if the company has to pay a wait time fee to the truckers."

Good thinking, two thumbs up.

 

[Blackleaf]

lol..... are you referring to me?

I'm referring to Tecumsehbones. I jus hope the Bedlam guards recapture him quickly.

How long does it take to pray?

 

[CDNBear]

How long does it take to pray?

How long does it take to hold up a line of live bottoms? Time is money.
