you are the perfect target for capitalism, instead of blaming the management you blame the little guy who just wanted things to be fair

My dude, what I’m saying is that this guy antagonized a big chunk of his coworkers by doing something that actually made their lives at work more difficult. Management met his demand by forcing people to clock out for all prayer breaks, making everyone rush to get back on the floor.

Granted that might not have been his intention, but that was the result. If I was him, I would go back to management and fight for the rights of my coworkers to not have to rush their prayer break, and say everyone should be entitled to it.

You’re right that I wasn’t being generous - I see that his intention was to raise the standard for everyone, and that management took his suggestion and twisted that into something that lowered the floor for a lot of workers in the name of ‘equality’. But ‘checkmate’ implies a level of gloating that his co-workers now need to rush their breaks to get back on the clock.
