This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm saying that people that aren't Christians or first Nations are discriminated against because they don't get guaranteed days off to celebrate their traditions. It's 100% in the hands of their manager to accept it if asked.

Ah I see your point now.

So we should be trying to get this right for other religious groups and not complain that first nation people have it.

Giving more people rights is always better than taking them away.

My favorite solution is to treat everyone the same by making the holiday calendar secular (one long weekend a month or something of the sort) and giving everyone X personal days a year.

Yeah a certain amount of days a year regardless of religion seems the obvious thing.
