It's illegal in the US to instate policies that even indirectly discriminate against religious practice without reasonable accommodation so why are Sundays basically full-blown workdays? I feel like it's pretty easy to sue if you're not given enough time to attend service, etc.

As a Jew, crazy to see how little activity there is on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur
Can confirm we tweaked deal timelines to avoid lmao
I mean, there’s also not much activity on Christmas and Easter.
You think people who devote nearly all their waking hours of the best years of their life in the pursuit of money… believe in god?
...wouldn't you to not work sundays?
... how about instead of believing for not working sundays you believe for eternal life
my plan is to work in ib til i get enough money to raise a family, which is driven by my catholic religion... so ig its just a tradeoff
Same
Money is God on Wall Street. "In God We Trust"...
We're not allowed to say it
We are client services. who cares what we are. if clients want us to work we work. lol.
Would you suggest that those working the Sunday morning shift at McDonald's adopt the same perspective?
Good to see you find yourself comparable to a McDonald’s worker
I am comparable, certainly in God's eyes. If you think you deserve special treatment just because finance then I respectfully disagree.
My point was more that, if bankers could sue because occasionally they cannot attend religious services, how does that legally stand compared to someone who always cannot attend because they work a Sunday morning shift? You'd think the latter has an even stronger case.
Because we’re goyim
Most people come in late on Sunday or WFH. You can take an hour or two to go to church. Worked with Christians / Mormons who did that, as well as Muslims who would stop by the mosque on Friday. It doesn’t seem like you need the entire day to practice faith.
Although they may be Christian, a lot work Sundays because of the famous Protestant work ethic.
Ironic, right?
