How to handle religion in the workplace?
I handle it by not talking about it unless I’m asked and then I’m frank and upfront with people about what I am. I’m also respectfull of other’s beliefs. That usally leads to them being respectfull of my beliefs. Although I have had a few attempt to convert me back. The one guy ended up not only giving up, but coming to me for Tarot Card readings for his wife. As for your reason for asking, no, it is not appropreate to be talking to clients about your beliefs or their’s. It may not be illegal, but I’m sure it violates ethics policies. Especially if the employee is the one bringing it up. You need to take this to a supervisior or human resources and let them deal with it.
I have a question about religious talk at the workplace. While I do agree with the general consensus here, my question is this: can a person LEGALLY engage in open, verbal religious talk, even with clients, over the phone? At the workplace, I mean, and when I say “workplace, I do not mean a church or synagogue or mosque or temple or anything similar. This is the workplace, cubicles, managers, the works. My question is important because if it is LEGAL, then all of our opinions don’t mean a thing. Is there something IN WRITING you can refer me to that addresses the LEGALITY of religious talk at the workplace. Thanks.
