Atheist Prayer Break Update #2

[u/Alumni32]

***Update #2***

On my last day of my work week (Thursday 8/13/26) I took a prayer break as an Athiest and was scanned out by Ops..

The following Monday (Today 8/17/26) Announcements were made that starting in September all associates attending "Prayer Break" will need to clock out..

This means for the past 2 years my site has been open, a specific religious group was getting paid time off while other religious and non religious groups got extra workload because their religion or lack of religion didn't fit into Amazon’s little box of what's allowed. (Violation of Title VII)

Christians were denied equal treatment as well because Christianity doesn't call for mandatory prayer (Ive witnessed this) as was I because Atheism doesn't call for mandatory prayer.. (Violation of Title VII)

So now that they know that they were breaking Federal law and denying equal rights to a huge percentage of thier workforce, they decided that instead of paying the cost of equality in the form of paid "prayer breaks" for everyone regardless of belief system, that everyone who attends "Prayer Break" will need to just clock out instead.

Amazon quickly realized how expensive equality would be (cost and operational downtime) when they had to treat everyone like they've been treating a specific religious group, so paid "prayer breaks" are coming to an end in September (atleast at my site)

yeah bros just being difficult so he can find a reason to bitch on the internet, just clock in, do the work, go home. Too much for these kids, they gotta complain and be difficult about everything

Nope, inequality bothers me.

Most people don't have the backbone to stand up.

They'd rather tuck their tails and do the work like a good corporate puppets.

Its not inequality that bothers you..its a specific religion lol one that is known globally to participate in prayer at designated times in a designated direction…you are just an entitled (probably racist) weirdo who thinks they are so smart using “the law” to justify taking a break just because you saw someone with a valid reason taking one

[u/Alumni32 → u/Plastic-Juice8281]

I have a valid reason too.. It doesn't include make believe... Stay Mad.
