IS RELIGION ALLOWED I N THE WORKPLACE?
For six months, I worked as a receptionist at a local doctor’s office that employed about 30 people. The owner and head practitioner was a member of a religious cult. During business hours, everything seemed normal for a doctor’s office of this size, but during the two-hour lunch break, all of the employees had to go upstairs and go “on course.” These mandatory courses encompassed everything from communication skills to office efficiency. They were all designed by a man who founded the religious cult of which my boss was a member. Granted that they were business teachings, other staff members and I felt that these teachings were heavily weighted with religious undertones. For example, one of the most important keys to these lessons was that you had to understand every word. After every exercise, we were individually tested to make sure that we knew all of the words. Most of the words that I didn’t understand could not be found in the dictionary, because they came straight from the man’s religious teachings. Whenever I questioned my boss about a word, it usually led into a long discussion about the cult leader’s works, and I would have to read paragraphs out of the religious teachings to “fully understand” the meaning. To me, it felt as though I was being brainwashed, and from then on I scheduled my university classes during this course time. My dilemma was this: did the doctor have the right to insist that we submit to such “teachings,” which made us uncomfortable?
1. Is any form of discrimination or harassment taking place in this case?
2. What ethical issues arise in this case?
3. If you were faced with this dilemma, what action would you take?
