I started a new job and was told the two things to not discuss were politics and religion. First thing I see at someone's desk, up for all to see is a sign that says "Jesus is the only way to be saved". I've not talked to this individual or my boss about the sign because I'm new and don't want to rock the boat. Not sure how to proceed.
It's easier and better for you to say nothing than causing a huge problem with the believers. They get offended and angry at anything not to their "standards"
Say nothingfor now. Access the environment and proceed cautiously.
Best advice is to avoid both, and sexuality too. They all are too intertwined. The existing staff has already found a way to get their behavior accepted, likely because the majority is Christian, the one true religion, and everyone knows or should know that it is! Best to avoid those issues and observe over time what really is accepted.
my last job on the first page of the handbook, 2 sentences in it says, "First we give glory to God". I thought Fuck! But I have become really good at sideswiping conversation with believers. I'm always so vague they don't know what the hell I believe in, or not. Keep em guessing..
Such knobheads. As the sign has already been seen by you & others it's obviously been accepted. You might ask if it's ok for you to put a sign up too.
