Is this crossing the line at work?

[krunchykrome]

We have a dept. dry erase board calender. We write things on it like days we're taking off, days we're know we're going to leave early. Anyways, I drew a orange pumpkin on October 31st for Halloween. The calender is in my cubicle. Anyways, our annoying coworker (I've posted plenty about him before) comes into my cubicle and asks me where the dry erase markers are. He's jewish by the way. I tell him where they are and turn around and continue with my work. Then some minutes later, I turn around and look at the calender. He took a blue marker and labeled Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanna as well as jewish stars on both dates.

Another coworker comes into my cubicle and is like "WTF" who put that up on the calender.

Is this crossing the line or is the whole office just extra sensitive to this because the annoying coworker has a history or being a pain in the a$$ and annoying?

Oh yea, we've only had the calender for 6 months now, but religous holidays have never been labeled before, during those 6 months.

He's probably taking those days off as Jewish holidays.

He could have just wrote his name and the word "OFF" on those days like everyone else.

You emphasized on hallowe'en, and he did the same for his holidays. What's the problem? 😕

Wouldn't annoy me seems to me he told you he was gonna be of on those days because they are Jewish holidays and you said that is what it is for. But It also would not bother me if someone maked Easter with a Cross or Bunny or Christmas with Santa Claus or a Manger. And no I am not especially religious do not even go to Church.

Put in permanant marker "Christmas" on Dec. 25th. That'll teach him.

Also Good Friday and Easter, whenever the heck it is.

Maybe he wants people to know why he will not be working on those days. If someone didn't tell me it was Yom Kippur, I wouldn't know. Obviously, you don't need to label December 25 as "Christmas" on the calendar as we're all pretty aware of it.

Again, why is it a big deal?

 

[SpanishFry]

let it go. too much other stuff to worry about

Halloween is not a religous holiday.

I will. Im gonna label Easter as "JESUS BIRTHDAY" and label Christmas with "DEATH OF JESUS" and I gonna put big crosses on both dates.

Maybe I'll get a christmas tree and put it in the office as well.

Fridays for business casual, I'll wear a shirt that says "Jesus Rocks."

That's not entirely true.

 

[mundane]

Go ahead and start labeling every religious holiday - Christian, Mormon, Muslim (or is the correct term Islamic?) ... do Buddhists have holidays?

Errrr... might want to switch those two.

Anyway, I think it just annoys you because the guy annoys you in general.

I'd slap that Macaca with the back of my hand, like you bitchslap a misbehaving hoe.

To the vast majority of the US population, it is not.

Halloween is not a religous holiday.

But some people don't celebrate it. He could be one of them. Maybe he got offended and wanted to do a similar thing to you.

That being said I still think he could have handled it better.
