I Like: not doing things

I Don't Like: doing things



Not sure if this has ever been discussed before, but every year around this time I get rather annoyed with my company.

The company is owned & run by a Jewish family. Most of the higher ups are in the family, observe all holidays, etc. And every year around this time a mass memo goes out to everyone here telling us the following:


Just a reminder that during the Passover Holiday beginning on April 6th thru Saturday April 14th all bread products must be removed from the office (including your desks) Thursday April 5th before the end of the work day and should not be brought into the office again until Monday April 16th.

Examples as follows: (pizza, rice, bread, noodles, cakes, crackers, muffins etc.)
Please note that the cleaning service will be instructed to empty and clean both refrigerators on Thursday April 5th at the end of the day.

Thank you for for cooperation.



Is this legal to do if most of your employees are not of Jewish faith? I respect their religion and I'm not slandering it. I just don't really agree with it.

I thought they just couldn't eat that stuff not that they couldn't even breath the same air it's in. Rather stupid but then again most religions are in some way.

You mean like how my cafeteria hasn't had meat on Fridays for the past month or so?

This is equally inconsiderate, and is demonstrates why religion just needs to be kept out of secular public affairs (government, schools, work) in the first place.
