Counting your blessings
I talked with a friend of mine today who recently got fired for not working on the Sabbath. She was hired on with a schedule of working part time Mon-Thurs and did this for 5 weeks. Then suddenly her manager decided that she should work on Sabbath, even though she said she could not from the beginning. I'm surprised when I hear things like this. After all, employers aren't supposed to discrimate against religious beliefs. They are supposed to make reasonable accommodations. But I guess it doesn't always happen that way. It made me realize how blessed I am to work for an organization that encourages my Sabbath rest. Thank-you Florida Hospital!

I've been blessed as well for working in an environment that understands my lifestyle...yet I know someone that didn't get a job at FH because they wouldn't work on Saturday.
Go figure...
Yeah, back in the clinical days I got less shifts on the schedule (as a whole) because I wouldn't work on Saturday and everyone else would. I just found that amusing, given who the employer was....
Oh well, what're you gonna do right?
