I've been working for this company for the last 5 years years and last year it wasn announced that they were selling the business to a family and they would be taking over. When this family took over there were a lot of sweeping changes and they made it very well known that they are a very ultra conservative religious family and they had very deep and die hard religious beliefs that they brought into their business. Starting the 1st week they started sending out daily emails with Bible scriptures and inspirational messages to everybody body. Then they started donating to their church on behalf of the company and It's employees. We would then receive thank you emails and cards from the church thanking us for their donation and inviting us to come and worship with them.
The donations continued and now extended to political donations as well as donations to groups who are Anti-abortion and anti LGBTQ. As you can imagine this has caused a fear amongst all the employees but we are told that since it's on behalf of the company and they are the owners of the company they are allowed to donate however they see fit. They tell us if we have a problem with it then we need to pray on it and see that they are trying to do the Lord's work. They have gutted our health insurance because they do not want insurance that pays for any kind of contraception contraception or abortions.. They have also they have also cut back on our bonuses as well as making making all PTO time unpaid.
Besides the religious emails, donations, and rhetoricThey have imposed on our company they further slap us in the face by coming to work driving Rolls Royces and Bentley's which they park out front for everyone to see. Several employees, including myself have been passed over for promotions promotions so that their Family members and church members can take over these positions. Many of these people have 0 experience yet are put in positions of management and power.
It makes me wonder if what they are doing is illegal and what can I do as an employee if I do not want to be associated with any of these donations or affiliations
