I would so like to just walk out and never look back. I cannot be contained in a box like this by micromanagers, especially when they have essentially forced my hand to comply, and violate my entire belief system and set of principles, or face disciplinary action. I hate to do it, but I am considering playing the AS card while I shore up my evidence against them for discriminating me for my religious beliefs. This is gonna be messy and working there is no longer a viable option, regardless of how this all turns out.
Anybody hiring a Physicist/Mathematician/Computer Programmer who requires a dark workspace with minimal interaction with colleagues? Thought not!
