John Landeros Leadership Style

Decent Essays
Marco,

This is the response I know you have expecting concerning the religious accommodation I have requested.

To be completely sincere, I knew that it would be denied as soon as I found out John Landeros was involved. I even commented about it while we were in your office. Unfortunately, Mr. Landeros is not professional enough to let past occurrences go and he allows them to influence his decision making. I know I am replaceable, just as every Lowe’s employee is, but I was hoping I could remain with the company I have enjoyed working for while living the standards of my faith. The decision I received from Mr. Landeros has placed me at a crossroads. Do I continue my employment with Lowe’s, or do I follow my faith to its fullest? I regret the years I allowed myself to work on the Sabbath day and I am no longer willing to sacrifice that part of my faith. It is time that I end my employment with the excellent company, Lowe’s.

The management team has my utmost respect and I am grateful for their leadership. Seth is a great leader who is fair and consistent and the assistant managers are understanding and easy to work with. Unfortunately, I am unable to give a complete 2 weeks notice, nonetheless, I am able to finish out this week. My last day with Lowe’s will by Friday the 10th of March, 2017. Thank you for the opportunity to work here once again. I hoped I would be able to work with Lowe’s for the years to come, but I was forced into this decision when Mr. Landeros decided my working on Sunday was more important than my faith’s doctrine.

Also, I would like a copy of the religious accommodation and the response along with the emails concerning my request.

Thank

    I agree that Sherbert and Yoder are futile and Lukumi Babalu has taken the correct approach. The accomodationist approach is utilized in Sherbert and Yoder has indeed caused a slippery slope. For example, in Sherbert, a woman refused to work on Saturday due to her religion and being a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Her employer denied this private accommodation to not work on Saturday resulted in being fired from her job. The South Carolina Employment Security Commission denied her benefits since there was unacceptable religious justification for her refusing to work Saturday.…

    The undue hardship argument proves even more valid, because as in Tepper v. Potter, this not only causes undue hardship financially for the company, but also undue hardship for company employees having to accommodate the employee’s religious schedule. Further, no additional claims alleging discrimination have been brought forward from any other employees alleging that the schedule change infringes on their religious beliefs or hinders their ability to freely practice their religion. Recommendations: 1. Make sure management is aware that they must effectively communicate with employees in regard to upper management directives and decisions. 2.…

Should they change their status as a for profit corporation to nonprofit?

Should a Methodist, Buddhist or Protestant, to name a few, conform just to work for Hobby Lobby? Should one convert to Christian in order to work for the company?
