Huh?
“Bashir said she became so stressed out that she couldn’t return to work. She asked that her boss be removed or that she be transferred, but neither happened.
She was fired after not returning to work for nine months.
“By firing me, they stole my ability to work at a job I liked,” Bashir said”
I don’t know about you, but if I don’t report for my job for 9 months, I wouldn’t be fired, I would have been considered to have ‘quit’…
this sounds like a load of crap…
Tha appropriate lead is “AT&T order to pay” or “Jury awards woman $ 5 million,” not “AT&T will pay” especially when AT&T says it will appeal. Very misleading and even disingenuous when you consider caps that will limit award to under a million. I think you have a duty to be more responsible and less sensational in your headline writing as a matter of journalistic integrity.
Doubly so, given this paragraph in the middle of the article:
“Despite the jury’s award, Bashir stands to receive much less than $5 million because Missouri law caps such awards at five times the actual damage amount, plus attorney fees.”
Several years ago a close friend was laughed at at work because she is a devout Catholic and always wears a crucifix and asked her co-workers to limit their bad language and dirty jokes and anti-Catholic remarks. I suggested she take take legal action but instead she changed jobs.
I like the way France is currently taking a stance on this stuff: You came here. You don’t wear your head scarfs in libraries, court rooms, or schools. You don’t like it don’t come in the door.
You want your job, take off the hat. You don’t want it bad enough to meet them in the middle, someone else will. Taking off a head garment doesn’t mean you have given up any internal/spiritual feelings. Are you no longer muslim when you take it off to shower? No.
Dumb, Hope ATT apeals.
