In my story, he was not really fired. But a new hire in my company was handed his computer. Seeing it was on Windows, he asked to work on Linux instead. IT told him that Windows was mandatory so he resigned on the spot.
Based af, but he didn't even enjoy the burrito he ordered for lunch :(
I wish I had the half the resolve of that man. I had the choice between two evils, windows and mac, which resulted in me getting a mac, mostly out of curiosity. I hate it
Sounds like a man who has never been so disgusted in his life.
I know someone who got his dream job in Brazil. His plane landed and he asked his local host where he can get some halal lunch. He was told that there didn't seem to be any halal food options in the city that's the host knew of. Guy got on a same day flight and flew back home.
What city would that be? In São Paulo there's plenty of halal restaurants, in Rio there's a couple. In other parts of the country could be more difficult.
Left the dream job? Bro, just cook at home. Damn.
If they're eating halal for reasons they dont seek to change (religious or otherwise) it can be extremely difficult to "cook at home" because you need to secure halal food sources, which if there aren't even any restaurants with halal food, it may be extremely difficult to secure halal ingredients
Fish, seafood, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, legumes like rice, wheat, beans, and lentils ... all default halal, no?
Its not just cooking style, it starts with how the animal is butchered IIRC
If I got my dream job and it required me to be a pescatarian, vegetarian, or vegan: my diet would change immediately.
I get liking meat but damn.
There's a simple way to sidestep that issue
Worked in a lab where this lady sat down to read some SOPs and within an hour said "I'm not feeling it" and quit in that moment.
Much respect for that!
I've done a few jobs where people didn't turn up for their second day, but never anything like that
I used to work in a large fishing ship as an engineer, there I became an atheist. Once there was a huge storm and we had to balance the ship to make sure it wouldnt roll, the guy who had to do it was praying and didnt have time to balance it, we almost died because he had mandatory pray time. From than we had a rule that there is no religion on the ship, once we come back to land than you can believe.
From what I hear of Islam on e.g. fasting it tends to be quite a practical religion. I'd not be surprised if that guy could in fact have not been praying at that moment and still stuck to all the teachings of his religion.
Yeah this is not at all how praying works in Islam. Of course you don't pray if you're practically unable to do so safely.
It is also considered a sin if you choose to fast under circumstances that put your health in danger.
Apparently (I'm not a scholar but was curious) in dire situations that require immediate action they could've prayed while helping out, even shortening it out as long as the short (verbal?) prayer is done in honesty and the situation absolutely demands it. Apparently it's even outright disallowed to not safe yourself or others during life-and-death situations even if it prevents you from the mandatory prayer because preserving people's lifes and your own tops those rules, at least that's what I read so far. If that boat story is actually true that person probably was a dipshit who happened to break his own religion's rules.
Also looked up fasting: There seems to be even more leeway on that. Just do it later if you can't do it right now due to illness or similar, or pay "fidyah" (give poor people money for food). Though I'm kinda curious how it's handled when someone is too old to fast but also poor as fuck, not a situation where you'd want to also feel guilty about this.
There are different disciplines in that religion
Sure. I'm skeptical that any of those disciplines except perhaps extremely minor, strict ones teach that you have to continue praying, in your knees, in an emergency.
The sea is your only god here
"You disrespected the Gods for the last time, Kratos"
Anybody who saw that happen and didn't stop the firing absolutely deserved it.
i'll be damned, prayer does work
Allah doesn’t mess about.
Lol I love it when this happens- title actually fit this time (just my app being silly btw, nothing to worry about on your end)
i love looking at old pictures of people pointing at signs and imagining them making that wojack face
There was subreddit about this specifically, don't remember the name though. Wonder if someone has made a fediverse community for it.
Nobody gets a jackoff closet. But no one ever asks for that.
Earn your own office and close the door. Ez.
Why need a closet when you could wank at work?
No way am I clicking that link. 😣
It's YT, so it's mostly safe!
It's also an old British sketch show clip.
Idk the cook at my old work just used the changeroom as his jackoff closet. He did ask to borrow people's smartphones.
I guess some prayers get answered.
This is truly a pathetic country.
We don't know this was in America, there are so many pathetic countries to choose from!
How do you know the person you responded to was referring to America? there are so many pathetic countries to choose from!
I saw pathetic and my brain just filled in "American"
When Nazi Germany was in power, people probably thought a lot about Germany as the default.
Godwin's law needs to be revised for Trump after this shit's over.
"This us truly an American country."
Because they assumed it was a specific country based on nothing, that's something I've only seen Americans do. I mean the spirit is there, don't get me wrong.
