26. If you accept a critical position in a company, crying religious exemption is bullshit.

He accepted that position, knowing that he would be called upon in times of crisis.

He'd dodged it before, by getting others to sub for him. This time, nobody could, and he just didn't show up.
That's unacceptable.

I know we like to hate on corporations here, but this guy was being a selfish prick. He wanted the position and its benefits, but didn't want to do the job. I would have fired his ass as well, if I were his boss.
