it does have merit in my eyes too. more than once i have met a guy who hired me, things were going great for a couple months, he thought i was the best guy hes found in years... then the moment i mention there is no god, everything changes. he starts preaching tons of religous shit and every tiny problem i have he tries to compel me to listen to god. thats when i have to find a new job because everything from that point on becomes tied to some religious bullshit when its supposed to be about making money.

Here is some career advise for you...don't talk about religion. Don't bring it up. Don't talk about it. Don't tell him that you don't think there is a God. If this has happened to you more than once then apparently you have difficulty learning lessons.

I hate to agree with SH, but this is good advice. Never talk about politics or religion in the work place.

so you guys, once again, have no fucking clue what the point of this thread is.

they made a law in madison to protect peoples religion- even if they dont have one.

when your boss asks you- what religion are you? just casually... just something to talk about in the middle of the day... you guys are sitting here telling me you don't respond? your zombie asses will never get a better job because of your 'advice'. the amount of stupidity on these boards is usually entertaining, but sometimes i feel like im talking to apple's siri

I have never had a boss ask my what religion I am.

The hard part of this is getting people to understand that this is good advice for people on both sides of the debate. I don't know Ike personally but I'm willing to bet that the conversation he references didn't start with him denying the existence of god.

I work for a Catholic hospital system and I have never once raised the issue of my own beliefs for obvious reasons but more than once I have been asked in casual conversation what religion I and my family observe. Now I generally think it best to answer in a way that deliberately avoids confrontation as that's not something I need in the workplace but, if someone is allowed to ask that particular question, then the other person should be allowed to answer honestly if they so choose.

I'm not sure that you're in a position to be offering The Board career/career advancement advice and tips on workplace decorum.

Thank you. You get the point. I don't know you either, but you obviously have cognitive thoughts.

No offense, but I'm going to wait for deni$dman to weigh in before I decide whether or not to blaspheme in the workplace.

I understand perfectly what the point of the thread is. You said that you tell your boss that there is no god, and then you are looking for a new job, shortly thereafter. It would appear that Scorehead and I have given you some good advice.



I have never had a boss talk to me about religion. Union tradesmen rarely see their bosses. I have worked at companies, where I have never met the person who signs my check.

If that topic did come up, I would politely respond that my religion is a private manner, and I don't wish to discuss it at the workplace.



Why would you insult people's jobs/situations when you don't even know what they are? It sounds like Scorehead is doing alright for himself. I am more than content with my situation. I have done well enough to own my own home, and have three cars without a car payment. I go see Phish, and play golf whenever I feel like it.

Scorehead's advice, which I echoed, was indeed sound.

In your case, I bet that makes your home life much easier, if you catch my drift.

Jorr, how could I possibly give you advice? You seem to have more life experience than anyone not named Mr. Reason.

I rarely talk religion. I love politics and talk about it all the time. At an insurance company, even the lawyers are Republicans. Frankly, most people think I am too Liberal because I have a distaste for all forms of government interference. Meaning, I don't give two hoots if people have abortions, use drugs, men marry one another, etc. But Chus and SH are right in that it's safer to avoid it.

you miss the part where i implied i quit because i realized the boss was a religious fuck?

never been fired from a job, i quit every god damn one of them. wait, there was one... i chewed the boss out and he fired me. that was what i wanted though, it was great.

and this applies to me how?



because people constantly insult my position and i would be a pussy not to fire back.

of course its safer to never say anything opinionated, ever, in the workplace. just stick with duty-only words. like a zombie.

but if you are able to do that, then i have pity for your position because it means your job must really suck and you either cant find a better job or your stuck because you have a family to take care of.

Again, I don't think you're in a position or have ever been in a position to lecture and brow beat people about anything job related.

After you get fired from yet another job are you still going to come on here and blame your boss for it all falling apart?

Many jobs, many bosses and only one Ike. You are the common denominator.

So, judging by what you've told us on this board it seems that you suck.

And actually.....I think that it wasn't the "I don't believe in God" comment, it was probably your boss and co-workers tired of your crap and that was just something you chose to blame it all on.

You are going to deal with fucks no matter where you work. I have a buddy who quits every job he gets, because he gets into some argument with somebody. I just keep my mouth shut, and do my job. It's much easier that way.



I try not to burn any bridges. You never know who is going to be your superior, down the road.

Because you directly asked me the following question.







I wasn't trying to insult you. I was merely echoing what I felt was sound advice.

You said I was a zombie who needed a better situation. If anybody was doing any insulting, it was you.

You can take or leave my advice. I won't lose any sleep if you leave it.
