Earlier, I had a semi-similar unforeseen problem when many South Asians refused to work with our gayest employee (the only one clearly visibly gay; statistically I'm sure I have a few others). Solved by assigning gay guy to the shipping side (where there's only a few people) and all the homophobes to the production side (almost a different building). What would you have done...? 
(I am assuming the correct answer to some would have been "mercilessly fire all the brown people on the sole basis of their backwards religious views", but that's not the choice I made there.) |
Why not just fire the ones that are refusing to do their job for stupid, irrational, pointless, barbaric reasons? Obviously easier said than done, but if someone is that mentally disabled that they can't work with someone because of their sexual preferences, what other mistakes are they going to make? Work is work, it's a good equalizer and it's expected and normal that you do the job and work with your colleagues regardless of each of your personal opinions. If you can't meet that low bar, you are a shit employee and don't deserve employment.
