  • newfound religion

    From august abolins@2:221/1.59 to George Pope on Fri Nov 11 03:36:20 2022

    Then you get some guy who took a job that was to include scheduling on any days, per the boss' needs. & he later converted to some obscure religion that had certain days off, & sued, as the boss, when asked for those days to be blocked off, essentially said, "I hired you to fill any shifts without blocked off times," sadly, the courts ruled against the employer, & he had to pay back pay plus interest for those days worked against his newfound religion.

    Where and when did that happen? I would think that there would be equal "laws" and tests in law that define WHEN someone's idea of religion is actually a valid religion.

    It was preposterous; it happened here in BC; abbotsford, I believe (right in the middle of the biggest Bible Belt of Canada--I grew up just across the river
    & hung around in Abbotsford's malls as a ne'er-do-well teen)

    John Oliver created a fake church/religion.

    The YT segments about it are pretty funny.
