"I would like to say that a franchise ice cream shop locally run by proud Christians deserves just about as much respect as Nordaggio's for terminating an employee (myself) for what can only be, to quote Derek Dyson, "dissidential exorcism". I filled out an application and was greeted extremely enthusiastically. I was offered a management position and set hours. The owner seemed to love me, and was more than happy after hearing of my experience and skills. While becoming aquainted with coworkers who asked the typical questions about life, I gave my opinion regarding religion because it is directly involved with the state of discord and unhappiness I and my family have experienced for years. I worked for MSC for two weeks. Sunday I was called and told not to come in for my shift on Monday. When I asked why, I was told that a former employee had reapplied and was given his job back- therefore, my hours for that day. I asked about the rest of the week. The owner then explained that "a girl who used to work for us came back from her two week vacation and she'll be taking your position since she has seniority... [ insert long pause as I sit back, incredulous] ..we're letting you go." Almost verbatim.
Later that Sunday evening, one of the employees contacted me through myspace and asked what happened. I told her. When I went back to the store location for my paycheck the following weekend, the owner threatened to sue me for slander even though my conversation with the employee was a private message, and nothing more.
In my own experience, nothing has hurt my life, ambition, well being, and financial status more that Christianity's unwavering hold on my parents and extended family. Yet it seems even employers are not above it's irrational grasp."
