Hard to believe.

[Savage Beast]

"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.

[Always Right]

I am amazed that atheists get offended. It is not like they actually believe in anything.

[DugwayDuke]

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.

[Savage Beast]

"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.

[eastforker]

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.

[Savage Beast]

"I had a picture of my wife"

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!

[Wormwood]

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.

[Obie Wan]

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 !!!

[tubebender]

This reminds me of the Diversity parody RUSH runs on occasion...

[Junior]

Worker fired after posting picture of Jesus (in his cubicle)

Correlation != Causation.

[sirchtruth]

For goodness sakes don't show or say anything that might remind people of accountability or responsiblity...that's the offense.

Knowing Christians fight principalities, and unseen powers good non-christian people are going to be influenced by the whispers of evil, parading as light.

[csvset]

Huh. I've two post cards in my cubicle. One is a painting of the Annunciation and the other is of the shepherds at the manger. I also have a wooden " book" if you will, that opens to a painting St. Francis on one side, with the " Prayer of Saint Francis " on the other. I haven't been fired , nor has anyone ever commented on any of the object.

Fwiw, I sit on a main thoroughfare that everyone in the building passes by.

[A. Pole]

She followed up several days later with a formal, unattributed statement, "We do not discriminate or take any action based on religious affiliation."

Unless we deal with a pesky Christian. The the gloves are off.

[wastedyears]

No, they’re being discriminatory by not allowing him to display the Crucifix in his cubicle. There is no excuse for it.

[eleni121]

What on earth? Fired for having the crucifix in his cubicle?

Whatever happened to the First Amendment? Or does that only apply to muslims and atheists?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

He should sue. Here is proof that there is a movement to eliminate white Christian males.

[A. Pole]

This is one page to start complaining.
