Hard to believe.
"What I CAN tell you is that Barclays has very strict policies around nondescrimination (sic), especially religious. I cannot speak for this particular individual's situation but I know that there was no religious descrimination."Run that one past me one more time, Donna.
I am amazed that atheists get offended. It is not like they actually believe in anything.
While I recognize this was not a federal office, guidelines for federal offices proscribe any photographs that might be offensive to any visitor current or future. Taken to the obvious conclusion, one may not post any pictures. A picture of your wife might be offensive to a gay visitor. A picture of your dog might be offensive to a visiting PETA freak. Etc.
"We do not discriminate or take any action based on religious affiliation."Oh.
Thanks. Uh...I think.
Uh...does this make any sense? Anybody? Uh...I'm sure it's just me...but...uh...Donna seems to be going around in circles. One of us is an idiot. I'm sure it's me.
It's their conscience that fears the Truth.
“While I recognize this was not a federal office, guidelines for federal offices proscribe any photographs that might be offensive to any visitor current or future.”
Hmm. I can take you to numerous federal buildings and show you a plethora of Christian symbols, art and inspirational scriptures pinned up in the majority of the offices. While I expect that in MS, I’m not sure I would in, say, Madison, Wisconsin. It’s a local office culture thing, IMO.
Looks like they got rid of the guy because the was the Christian fuddy-duddy and not one of the “cool kids”.
Well, for one thing it was not a picture of Jesus, just an artist rendition depicting what he, the artist, thought it may have looked like. Since we have not seen it, it is possible it could have been graphicly repulsive in some aspects. A man hanging on the cross by nails and with a crown of thorns and a spear hole in his side showing lots of blood could be offensive to some.
You WHAT?!???
It seems to me that this is grounds for charges of antihomosexual discrimination--and could violate Barclays'...very strict policies around nondescrimination!
"She told me people were offended, and she told me anything with Jesus and God can't be up"
Brace yourselves! You're headed for a fall!
I have a friend who worked for them. Good reviews for years, no complaints, and a record of advancement.
Fired on his birthday for the crime of turning forty.
Nice place.
Oh, please. Most people have problem with Muslim pictures of torture mainly because they have so many extremists who seem perfectly willing for other innocents to suffer it as well. Sounds like you have an axe to grind against Catholics.
Always a wise policy when referring to WorldNet Daily.
Death=Satan=Islam
My Grandmother is a fantastic Irish woman. And oh yes, she is at Mass every Sunday. I have no ax to grind with the Catholic church, the majority of my family is Catholic.
He said the "complaint" about his Easter picture may have been in retaliation, because earlier he had complained about the crudity of the conversation in the office.Burying the lead.
This is the “slick” society that can’t figure out why incidents like Cho’s slaughter are happening with increased frequency these days. Take Christianity out of a society and watch the results !!!
