I Just Got A Job! ...but

[Khalsa_Girl_1]

:T:

Well i just got a job today, i nailed the interview and i got along well with the manager and supervisor in charge. It's not exactly the most ideal job - working in a A&W restaurant, however, any jbo is better than no job at all. Waht is even more exciting is that there are 3 other sikhs other than me on the workforce! And the supervisor is also sikh.

However, i was rather troubled by some of the questions and comments that where made by one of the supervisors. First off, we got a little into religion (it's actually illigal to mention that stuff in a job related interview), and then we got into the meat topic. I said yes to handling it, i'm ok with that.. she (Deep) looked a little puzzled. She also questioned me about my dastaar - as (get this) none of the other "sikhs" don't wear there dastars to work. i was also curious ot know why deep, didnt even have a kara on, or anything to show she was a sikh.

So i didnt show my concern, however, i was rather shakened up after the interview. and i ask these questions.

Why as proud sikhs, shy away from showing out true identity in thw workforce?

And why are sikhs discriminated and even looked down by other sikhs.

I suppose later on, as i get more familiar with the staff, and supervisor, i will bring it up -off the worksite of course. :e:

I'm getting into a full-time position (40+) eventually, at $9CDN, and i will wear my dastar to work as well as kirpan and kara. I'm not afraid of people looking at me, or hiding my true self... why sould i? why shoudl we?

Heres the thing with the meat issue. In order to have GuruJi in your home you cant have meat within the home. Now Why do we have to stay away from meat????? If someone comes home smelling like meat then that also is a contamination. So you would smell like cooked meat if you went to the Gurdwara right after work, so you would have to clean up first before you went to see Guru Sahib. The majority of Sikhs dont need to clean up in order to go to the Gurdwara or do Gurus seva etc.

Working with meat is like cutting up tobacco or stirring alcohol were it splashes up on to you during work. After which you need to completely clean up your self in order to be ready to particapate in the religious functions etc.

Bhai Gurdas writes, " My lord, it is strange that the people of Kaljug have developed the additude of a dog and they take pleasure in swallowing ill-gotten things. The rulers commits sins and those who are herdsmen are killing the sheep themselves. The people being ignorant are not in a postion to discriminate between truth and falsehood."

Why is lionchild so attracted to meat and the meat debates?????

I can now say "What a meat-head" :umm: hahahaha

Regaring handling meat: if we consider meat to be like poison for ourselves, how can we serve it to others? If it's poison, what kind of paap are we accumulating by serving it to others?

hahahahah look now that he got lucky the whole world has to get lucky.

Im starting to run out of money from what I saved so Im really in need of a job right now. I was thinking about teaching youth how to play guitar and piano etc. I just have to figure out how much I should charge and how Im gonna do this but I would have a job that I think is fun so it wont be a pain in the neck over time. I could do tons of things I just gotta figure out what and how. I just hope I can get a better job than $9 p/h and wont have to go against Sikhi by handling meat or tobacco or alcohol.
