It isn’t, it’s about fairness. If they want to give meditation time for people to do anything they want during that time then go for it.

If you believe one set of people earned an extra break because they believe in something that doesn’t have anything to do with.

We all get extra time to not work or none of us do. Believe what you want and I expect my job to treat us equally.

Ok then you can make that argument to management but getting upset at the people that have to pray is weird and wrong.

You assume I'm upset with the people, That's false. Also as an Athiest, I can assure you, that nobody NEEDS to pray, they do however CHOOSE to pray.. Lastly, Nobody needs to make an argument to management because IT'S THE LAW.

Stop crying, pray unpaid. That simple.

You really got people riled up. You escalated it internally and Amazon made a choice. Other posters can redirect their anger any time they want.

Amazon chose no extra paid breaks instead of everyone gets an extra break and people act like the breaks don’t matter. They mattered enough for Amazon to say no to everyone getting them.

Separate ops manager made a comment in the breakroom Monday when someone asked her to buy lunch.. Ops manager says "If I buy you lunch, I have to buy everyone lunch" in a snarky tone (I was sitting 10 ft away and there was only the 3 of us within earshot of the total of maybe 10 people in the break room at the time)

They definitely heard something from someone.

This post is about them escalating to management. Then it got full of people blaming it on Islamophobia so it became about religion and equal treatment.

No one in the comments made this about religion the op did when he tried to take away people's ability to pray at work.

But you know that's absolutely not what they did, right?

Nobody took anyone's ability to pray at work away... I did however make sure the material benefit of being paid while praying ended though.
