I want to VENT!

Well, That is not nice of him.
And only for an hour? I mean c-mon!

[DJFyrewolf36]

How rude! Some people...

[Pawsitive Thinking]

What a kind, caring man he seems to be NOT! Certainly knows how to get his staff behind him!!

[JenBKR]

Ugh what a jerk. I agree with gini, I'm sure God was listening to the conversation. Is there another service you can go to, as a different time or anything?

[Cataholic]

Much as I hate to say this......

With the exception of the sarcastic remark, your boss, while well outside of what would be normally considered good employee relations, is well within the law.

Is it a GOOD thing to do? Hell no. But the labor board isn't going to be able to say much.

WHAT??? Stop the presses!!! This is TWO times we have been in sync. When July comes around, I will be looking for some snow, for sure!

LH is right, of course. There is no legal issue here.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Now we really know the world is coming to an end. LH, Cat and me all in agreement.

Being a jerk is not illegal. If it were our jails would be even more overflowing. Running off to the labor board (or whatever the agency is called in your area) is not the best way to enhance the relationship.

But think about something for a moment.....you are prepared to tell him when he should go to church (Saturday night) but not the other way around!

It may be only an hour....but in the service industry...if you are the one waiting an hour for service...it is a long time.

Amen

That's what I was going to say. It sounds like discrimination, based on your religion. He's breaking one of your constitutional rights.

Perhaps you have some "sick leave" or comp time, or .....

My words to a tee.. Hope you get to go to your Church Service anyway..

David never said his boss SHOULD go on Saturday night, he simply said that, because his boss' church has services both days, his boss had a choice that is not available to David.

Interesting thread and it does point up what a jerk your boss is. My boss is Jewish and takes off on all of his holidays. We, however, must work on Good Friday. Go figure.
