A few years back at the last place I worked, I was sitting in my little purgatory of a cubicle slaving away on something ridiculous. Across from me was the doorway to my immediate boss, one of the company partners. One of the other partners comes over and starts to relate an "outrageous" story.
Apparently over the weekend he had stopped by the IT guy's (a very nice chap from India, and a practicing Hindu) house to drop off or pick something up for the new servers they were installing. On the IT guy's door hung the following symbol:
The sacred Hindu swastika, and symbol of the family's beliefs.
The company partner, a Jew (and clearly not a bright one) was aghast at the 'Nazi symbolism' on the door.
So here he was relating the story, now to all the other company partners, who were also completely horrified, offended, and out for blood. Some of the quotes were:
"You have to tell him to take it down!"
"I'm so sick, after all my people have suffered!"
"Everyone knows history, he should know better!"
"Tell him to take it down, or he's gonna get fired!"So to recap, they were offended and wanted to tell him to remove and ancient symbol of his faith from the door of his own house, or he could lose his job.
Watching it unfold was astonishing.
I don't know if they ever mentioned it to him, but I wanted them to, and wanted to know. Because then I could have slyly mentioned his legal rights to him and that he could easily own the frigging company.
