Reply #2: Hmmmm....I didn't know it was in the job description of engineers to clean pork knives

What ever happened to "Fuck you, do it yourself--it's against my religion." Then there's "Keep that crap up, asshole, and I'm filing a grievance." And lastly, there's the "Human Resources, would you kindly educate my idiot asshole Indian supervisor about the Islamic requirement to pray five times a day? The retard is hassling me about it."

And gee, in Dean Country, too--I've always found Vermonters to be most tolerant of differences. Hell, they do a better job of putting up with New Yorkers than the Cape Codders do!

IBM isn't Bumfuck Tool and Die. They have a highly developed HR shop, which other companies have used as a model. I can't believe this engineer didn't understand how to achieve redress when confronted with these sorts of workplace situations.

I dunno, I smell a rat here. I wasn't there, so I honestly don't know....but I guess time will tell. Be interesting to see how the court rules, and how much of a case beyond accusations this guy is actually able to prove.
