But the bolded portion indicates that there is a practical reason for turning her down: to make an exception for her would unfairly burden the other workers, who were seeking to get more Sundays off. If that's a particular concern for the company, then adding a worker who would specifically NOT address that problem would likely create morale issues, in addition to, you know... not solving the problem.
And that's without considering why she would ask for special treatment as a condition of her employment in the first place.
If solving this great 'problem' is an issue for this company, then perhaps all of it upper management needs to be fired.
The problem is solved with a diversity in it's hiring practices. Meaning hire people who's holy days are Saturday and Sunday, along with the heathens who can 'float.' a day off. Not to mention it is unrealistic to expect to hire a person and never give them a day off. What is the big deal whether a person has a week day or week end day off? (When one hires from a more diverse group of people, rather than just one type or religious group?)
