Bible Question: new creation ... do you think the business owner isn't a Christian because he is rich? One time I said he is a Christian and then I said he is a wealthy man. How does this contradict? If I could take the manager to court, I would, he's the one who broke the law. I was fired for lack of sales ... that's what I was told ... but I know the difference in how I was treated after he found out I shared Christ. |
Bible Answer: joel - EdB and New Creature certainly have valid concerns regarding the exact nature and cause of your dismissal from your job, and your new admission that your manager's stated reason for letting you go was because of lack of sales performance. While I am not questioning your truthfulness -- I have no way of knowing about that except through what you have told this Forum -- I am saying that you need to be on firm footing and able to prove to the owner (should you contact him), or to anyone else through whom you might seek remedy for your alleged ill treatment by your firm's manager, that your dismissal was occasioned by your Christian witness and not by your job performance. For years I was a sales manager and it was my lot from time to time to discharge an employee, a duty that I never enjoyed, believe me. The dismissals were in a few instances for dishonest business practices on the part of the employee, but by and large they were brought about by the employee's lack of job performance, and by performance I mean sales performance. But never did I or my company fire anyone on account of his religious convictions. --Hank |
