Was having this discussion with one of my friends, wanted to get your thoughts on it. We are of the same religion, but he is more religious than me. I personally feel like everyone is allowed to choose their religions and should be able to take off as needed. However , I also think that the religious folks need to understand that while it is their right, they need to make sure they're keeping up. I feel like when he takes off for religious observations, he doesn't do the extra work to...contd

Catch up on work. In my opinion that's taking advantage using the religion card. But he feels like he should work until 6 pm like everyone else. The religion requires approximately 3-4 hours a week from his schedule (and he takes lunch on top of that) . My argument was that he shouldn't expect to be compensated the same if he works less than others. But he stated that well his religion comes first (which is fine) , but I feel like religion may hinder promo or progression. Thoughts?

3 to 4 hours! Plus lunch? He needs to work past 6pm to at least have 8 hour workday at minimum.

Agreed!!!!

Are you working with this friend? Or their manager? It’s a very delicate conversation depending on where you are located ( people in usa are overly sensitive on a lot of matters including religion). So be careful if you decide to broach the topic

Nope. Just a friend. Outside of consulting. He is a neighborhood friend

I’m sorry, but I’m really curious - what religion requires 3-4 hours a day. Not being snarky or anything, truly curious.

3-4 hours a week

Got it - thank you.

My thoughts, people who believe in a certain way, as perhaps your friend does, regard that 3-4 hours a primary duty which needs to happen regardless of whatever is going on, work, entertainment, etc. everything takes a back seat, because, the outcomes of those 3-4 hours, for them, have greater significance than more mundane things, such as work.

Also, living in America, they have certain rights afforded to them, and, I think if they deliver what they are responsible for, then we shouldn’t criticize that.

I knew someone like that - and they were ok to lose their job, but wouldn’t give up their prayers or other religious obligations. Very frustrating when you don’t think that way - but, for them, that is their life.
