School: group discussion about whether religion belongs at work.
Answer:
I’m 27, so when I started working, most of the no-no’s had just been established: no sexual harassment! No mention of sexuality at all! No “Merry Christmas”, it’s “Happy Holidays”! Stuff like that. Starting even with my first job, we had to have mandatory pow-wows where we would go over code of conduct and what was and was not allowed.
At my current job, there are a few older people who grumble that we’ve been advised to say the ambiguous “Happy Holidays” over “Merry Christmas”. These people are Christian by admission and think it’s ludicrous they have to take the sweet baby Jesus out of their holiday season at work because it might offend someone. Then over in another corner, someone else is whining about the Hanukkah section of our complex not being as big as the Christmas tree section. No one even mentions Kwanzaa which I feel is a shame, because I would love another holiday in the bucket, and Kwanzaa colors are awesome and the idea behind it is great. Moving on, I really have to wonder WHO CARES.
I am a white, redheaded raised-Christian woman. I have never REALLY experienced any type of discrimination at all. But the point is, I am NOT a Christian anymore, and I find “Merry Christmas” annoying because I have been BRED to find that offensive as it excludes those who do not believe in Christ! So I understand we cannot say it, AT WORK, because it could potentially offend someone. And yet there are still a chosen few who think they should be able to say whatever they want, whenever they want.
They forget, as so many of us do, that you were not hired as “So and So Smith” but “So and So Smith REPRESENTING XYZ Company”. XYZ Company has no religious affiliation, therefore you are not allowed to INJECT yours into the work environment.
Sex, religion, politics and the like don’t belong at work EVEN IF you work IN the sex, religion or political worlds! Yes! That is true! As the representative of a company, brand, etc., you’re paid to be a blank piece of paper. You don’t like it? Be a blogger like me! You can sit around all day and spout your opinion, and if enough people like it, you’ll get paid.
The gospel truth as according to Nicole L. Sterner.
