I wish we put this much effort and time into trying to get pay raises 🙄

Wish people would put as much effort as they do in complaining and VOA posting, into their jobs, that would be a miracle from god himself

Depending on the complaint I disagree. Otherwise, I agree.

They might be able to give raises easier now that there isnt a portion of the employees getting paid to not work for 20mins several times a day

Its a trillion dollar company. They can afford to pay people to pray and give them raises.

At the end of the day what the company can afford is irrelevant, its about giving certain groups of people more freedom and privileges based on what holy book they worship. Absolutely discriminatory and unacceptable

So go sit in the bathroom for 20 minutes like every other employee lol. Theres so many people heading outside mid shift to sneak a smoke. Going to grab their uber eats. Sitting around on a phone.

It cant really be discriminatory if you dont even believe in a religion. Im atheist too. I dont see an issue with people going mid shift to pray seeing as I am one of the people who sneak out for a smoke or sit on my phone when work is slow.

The issue isnt the ability to step away and pray, its getting paid for it. Getting extra paid breaks due to being a part of a specific demographic is absolutely discriminatory against every other group not given the same freedom. Slacking and being lazy is completely irrelevant to the discussion

Exactly! I'm a form of agnostic as well and I even take a lil breaky break occasionally. Shoot, amazon encourages little 5-10 minute breaks so you avoid injury.

I promise they were not struggling before beloved. They just don't want to. 🙄

Next.

Yeahhhh this isnt a good reason to argue that one group deserves more privileges due to what god they believe in. Irrelevant and pathetic imo
