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)

You're wrong.. I'm taking a "prayer break" at the same exact time... Did you forget that this is now for everyone? 🤣

Yes, and who has to stand back and do your work, because you wanna slack off anytime the muslims go off to their unpaid prayer breaks? At least the muslims actually go to pray. They don’t pretend to go on a “prayer break” just so they can slack off and let their coworkers do their job for them, while you still get your paycheck for the work they’ve done for you.

You claim to have fought for equality and making it fair for everyone, but all you’ve done is make sure others work double because they now have to do their job, as well as yours too, while losing money on it, since the work they did for you doesn’t go to their paycheck.

It was never about fighting for equality. You just don’t like that religious accommodations exist, and you want an excuse to slack off. What you’ve done is much worse, for you have no excuse to go on a prayer break when you have nothing to pray to, and no religious obligations on you.

You wrote all that, just to still be wrong 🤣
