8. Wiccan priestess fired |

This story bothers me. The company Ms. Folberth worked for will probably use the old excuse of poor job performance as the reason for firing her. Why they would continue employing her for 7 years and only discover her poor performance when she asked to take unpaid leave is, of course, something that will not be looked into. A friend of mine is a graphics designer and she works a lot of unpaid overtime, something which I imagine Ms. Folberth did as well. If that is the case, I honestly don't see the problem with her employer granting a day here and there as comp time.
I agree with Ms. Folberth - she probably was fired because of her request for time off to celebrate the holidays of her minority religion - but she will have an uphill battle trying to prove it and in the end probably never will. I wish her the best of luck, both with her attempt and with finding a new job in the very near future.
