They want healthcare professionals.", ">\n\nAnd refusing to fill a valid prescription is completely unprofessional.", ">\n\nYeah you can ask for reasonable accommodations for your religious beliefs in the workplace, but if it means you're unable to do your job entirely good luck with the lawsuit.", ">\n\nExactly. To give a personal example, I'm Jewish and observe Shabbat and various holidays. During this time, I won't do any work. However, for my job, I'm supposed to be on call 24/7. So I've worked out a system where I turn over my on call duties to someone else for this time and switch them back after Shabbat/the holiday ends. If this is during working days, I use my PTO to take the day off. My employer knows this and has worked to accommodate me.\nWith this accommodation, I can still do my job while observing my religion. But refusing to do a basic job duty because \"my religion tells me not to\" doesn't call for accommodations. It means you should probably get another job.", ">\n\nIf I were a patient and a CVS nurse refused to give me birth control, I would sue CVS", ">\n\nTheyre going to lose if it's one of the ones I'm thinking of.\nThey're supposed to just say \"I'll get someone else to help you\"\nBut what a lot of them was doing was saying \"CVS won't/can't fill that, you need to leave\".\nTwo very, very different things.", ">\n\n“I can’t do that, it’s against my religion” vs “You can’t do that, it’s against my religion”. Pretty cut and dry.", ">\n\nWhich is exactly what's wrong with religious fanatics. Narcissistic and delusional.", ">\n\nAnd that is one reason why younger generations are turning away from religion more and more.", ">\n\nExcept those that seem to have it seem to be more zealous. My wife has several young nurses that came out of the woodwork as anti-vax/allTheDamnThings since covid started. \nI, unfortunately, don't think this is a problem that will ever go away, we'll just see face-lifts.", ">\n\nA nurse that refuses to give vaccinations should be fired. \nPeriod", ">\n\nImagine working in a grocery store and refusing to sell non halal meat to people.", ">\n\nThe courts would tell you to get fucked.", ">\n\nAs they should.\nIf it's against your religion, feel free to work elsewhere.", ">\n\nIf you can’t do your job because of your religious beliefs you shouldn’t be doing the job. \nImagine a Jehovas Witness Phlebotomist who just refuses to draw blood. Or a Muslim cashier who refuses to sell pork. \nThese are choices that people make which make them unable to fulfil the duties of the job. If your religion doesn’t permit you to prescribe legal and necessary medications, find another job.", ">\n\npretty sure the Muslim cashier one has been in the news a couple times over the past decade.", ">\n\nYep, Costco got sued, not because they fired the cashier but because they moved him to shopping cart duty. They guy lost though because they didn't reduce his pay or hours.", ">\n\nThat's almost a textbook case of religious accommodation. And the guy still sues!", ">\n\nActual real life lawyer here. Unfortunately that's the problem with the legal landscape and the overly litigious nature of this country. I wouldn't be shocked if it was the guy's intention the entire time, get the job then request religious exemptions, only to then sue and hope the company just settles instead of actually fighting it. \nThere are too many cases where businesses just bend over backwards to accommodate people or try to avoid any amount of bad press or expense in fighting a frivolous complaint they just settle them out even if they would easily win the case on the merits. The overly cautious nature of companies is only empowering these jackasses to do this stuff.", ">\n\nPretty sure there is a King of the Hill episode where Dale deliberately tries to this same thing but with a Hooters and gender discrimination.", ">\n\nI mean Hooters DID get sued for gender discrimination in the past, but ultimately they won.", ">\n\nSpeaking of Hooters being sued.. it reminded me of that story where a Hooters waitress sued the company because they ran a contest for the waitresses to win a new “Toyota.” \nThe waitress that sold the most appetizers and beer (and other upselling items) in a 1 month period would win a new Toyota. \nThis Hooters girl absolutely busted her azz to win this contest. Working extra shifts and overtime and working like crazy to get her customers to spend more money so she could win. \nThen the day came to officially announce the winner. She won!! She was crying tears of joy. This was a life changing thing for her. \nThey manager told her to come the next day at so and so time for the photo shoot and accept her prize. \nShe showed up excited AF. A bunch of people were there anxiously awaiting the unveiling of her prize. \nThen after a bunch of hype, the manager unveils her “new toy yoda” doll. Everybody laughed at her and the super clever joke. \nNeedless to say she was p!ssed TF off and hired a lawyer and sued Hooters. \nHooters ended up settling out of court for an undisclosed amount. When the media asked the lawyer how much money she got, he simply responded “let’s just say she can buy any Toyota she wants now..” Lol", ">\n\nI just wonder how nobody thought that would be received poorly. \n\"Trust me, bro. She won't care about working her fingers to the bone for nothing when she sees this cute pun I stole from my mother in law's Facebook page.\"", ">\n\nNever underestimate the stupidity of managers.", ">\n\nI've asked Christians who support this how they'd feel about a vegan getting a job in a restaurant or supermarket and then refusing to sell meat, and framing it in religious terms. Or a Hindu, with beef specifically. I've found that they don't support this freedom of conscience or religion in a general sense, just with those things that are hobby-horses of conservative Christians specifically.", ">\n\n“They shouldn’t take that job, then.”\n“So, like the lady in the pharmacy?”\n“No, that’s different! She’s trying to help people!”", ">\n\nPersonally, they should have to prove it even violates their religious beliefs. Birth control is used for a lot of women to avoid getting cancer because they don’t have regular periods. The Bible is both for and against almost everything and has been mistranslated constantly from its original text.\nThere is no mention of modern birth control in the Bible. In fact, I think the most commonly referred to pieces of evidence people use to say it opposes birth control are in Genesis. So… we are following the Old Testament rules? \nThe whole thing is nonsensical.", ">\n\nThere’s also the erroneous belief that contraceptives are abortifacients.", ">\n\nBut an NP is supposed to know better than that.", ">\n\nGosh, I have some startling news for you…..\nEdit: just so we’re clear, I’m criticising that particular NP who was pushing their own particular political views.\nMost nurses are fantastic and valued people.", ">\n\nSome startling news for you: I work with NPs. I know how they’re trained. And I can absolutely promise you this is covered in their education. \nThis is another example of someone choosing their belief over actual science. \nNP should lose her license. End of story.", ">\n\nReddit likes to shit on nurses, but you can find examples of dumbasses in any medical job. When I worked in pharmacy, nurses were often the ones fighting for their patients, particularly in hospitals.", ">\n\nThere are MDs that do this shit all the time too, MDs that don't believe in evolution, MDs that wouldn't take as much out in a breast reduction because they personally think they know better than the patient on how big they want their breasts, etc etc. There are dumb people in every single job and in every field.", ">\n\nAnd they should lose their license too. It’s not that Reddit is hard on nurses or doctors, it’s the nature of the job. Like police, if you fuck up people can die. Lives are literally on the line for nurses and doctors, as well as quality of life and a million other things. The job is too important to not do it well or correctly. \nBesides it’s common sense. If your job interferes with your beliefs you should be doing that job, or change your beliefs.", ">\n\nIf you're not going to do the job then don'twork there. CVS is pretty blatant with what they prescribe; that NP knew it going in and she still took the job. This is on her.", ">\n\nUnless she took the job specifically to start a fight.", ">\n\nStep 1: Take job that you know will violate your \"religious beliefs\"\nStep 2: Refuse to do job and get fired\nStep 3: Sue job for wrongful termination \nStep 4: Profit!", ">\n\nMy friend had a sales rep at his last company that did something similar. He was an alcoholic. Basically, he would be piss drunk by 12 everyday and show up for calls with customers hammered. He would get warnings within a few months, then laid off, then sue for wrongful termination because he has a \"disease\". I'm by no means shaming a legitimate condition, but the dude wasn't trying to get help and had done this 5+ times in 10 years.", ">\n\nI never understand what peoples' religious beliefs have to do with other people. Like, you don't believe in birth control, good for you; but other people do. It's not like you're taking the medication so what's it to you if someone else wants it?", ">\n\nThis is the exact reason why so many Christians I know have this fear of atheists. They assume that because they are very forceful about shoving their beliefs on others that atheists are going to try to force atheism on them in the same way.\nWhich from my experience as an atheist and most atheists I know, we don't care what you believe in as long as you don't try to push it on us.", ">\n\nAlso the fact that they believe Atheists have no moral compass without God. “What’s to stop you from committing murder or rape without religion to tell you not to?” Idk I just think those are fucked up things to do. Don’t need a sky daddy to tell me so", ">\n\nI rape the exact number of people that I want. And that number is zero.", ">\n\nWeird, my religion requires an hour break for every 5 minutes worked.", ">\n\nWhich religion? I’m suddenly feeling it is time to connect with my spiritual self", ">\n\nMeow-rmon\n(That's the best cat pun religion I can come up with.)", ">\n\nTell me more man!", ">\n\nWe spend 5 minutes working, then take an hour nap.\nWe set alarm for our daily 3:30 AM prayer, which is really just loud, incoherent screaming.\nAnd if anyone touches your belly, you must scratch the shit out of the aggressor.", ">\n\nFuck this nurse. If you can't do your job without your personal beliefs getting in the way, you should NOT have that job.", ">\n\nI mean, isn’t medicine in general going against her beliefs maybe? Isn’t she meddling in gods will, and god’s letting her do it…for some reason", ">\n\nFortunately she practices nursing, not medicine, so no cognitive dissonance", ">\n\nThis shit is getting out of hand. Being a member of a religion does not entitle you do or not do whatever you want.", ">\n\nYou obviously haven't met many fundamentalist evangelicals.", ">\n\nThis is not a fundamentalist problem.
