1. Discrimination & Whistle blowing - Would you hire this nurse again?

   SunshineSmile replied to SunshineSmile's topic in Relations

   I completely agree with "I love my cat." A lot of people have a "slave to my employer/government" mentality regardless of their background. "Oh, if I complain, I will loose my job." "If I complain, no one will hire me again." Complain=punishment. S...

   Actually, my faith does not teach anything against suing those who discriminate. In fact, they teach that those who are careful about observing their religious duties will be rewarded in the afterlife, even if it means loosing one's job. Having said...

   If we worked in the same facility, I could have worked for you. I think this is where people of different faith come to help each other. I am sure there are people who want their day of faith to be off and if someone else has the same situation but ...

   I am Orthodox which does not give me much flexibility in terms of which day I observe as my "sabbath" or "a day of rest." I did ask 3 rabbis about the issue and basically was told that since I am not working in an emergency care setting, it's not con...

   Sabbath observer. I told them I could work Saturday nights and any time Sundays, but not from Friday sundown to to Saturday sunset. They wanted me to work alternate weekends, which is common, and did not want to make any acommodations. I have worked...

   The discrimination was based on religion. The facility blatantly told me that they were taking away the job offer because of my religion. And the manager at the second place where I worked told me that she would not have hired me if she knew of my re...

   I was discriminated against when I applied for a job. In other words, a job offer at a hospital was rescinded due to their discrimination against me. I sued them and won. Now my name is all over Google if you search it. A few years later, similar thi...
