Have you ever come across an individual who just feels it is necessary to enforce their views of religion on you? Or even working for an organization that judges you based on that? Even states that this is a "Christian Organization" when they are reprimanding you in someway.
I recently had this experience about two weeks ago, both myself and another friend that I had the pleasure of meeting along the way. This organization which shall remain nameless, upon hire, felt it was necessary for myself to know that even though they are a "Christian Organization" they do not impose their religious views on their employees. No more than a few days of working there, I realize that wasn't even the case. My friend who at the time was working there had the experience of being told on more than one occasion that this was a "Christian Organization" and that showing too much skin was not appropriate for this type of organization. On my first day there, I was told to button up my sweater because the boss was going to have a problem. Now, for those of you who know me personally know that I have never been reprimanded on my appearance. And in this regard, I am usually the example of what business attire should look like.
Well, to make a very long story short, I was sent home on another occasion due to my choice of attire, which was a sweater dress. I was told that I look fabulous, but it was too tight and too short and the black tights were not allowed. I also was reminded again this is a "Christian Organization" and that if I was allowed to wear a sweater dress that everyone in the organization would feel it would be all right to wear a sweater dress. On my return back to work the following day, I was dressed in a fitted blouse and dress slacks. My boss still looked at me up and down to see what it was that I was wearing. I was also set up by my boss, but that shall be for a different blog.
With that said, I am no longer working for that company. But I guess what I am trying to make a point of is this... For one, I am a nonpracticing Catholic who has had a child out of wedlock. I do not appreciate someone explaining me the do's and don'ts of what is considered "Christian Like" especially when you are going behind my back talking about me, because that for one, is not "Christian Like" I just can't stand hypocrites who use religion has a source of validation. They are the biggest DEVILS...
