We have had the privilege of always working for Baby Jesus — whether in the church or faith-related non-profit worlds — and have had very kid-friendly places of work. Of course it is hard to tell the difference between some churches (and other Baby Jesus organizations) and “Corporate America” when it comes to the shape of “human resource” policies (just when did we humans become “resources,” by the way?). But as leaders of one of these workplaces, we are committed to making life with employees as “love your neighbor as yourself” as possible.

All that to say, I hate that you’re bumping into the ugly butt of The Man. Maybe, as BRC wrote in his reply, that this is an affirmation of YOUR CALL to be working for the Baby Jesus rather than THE MAN. Oh, wait… I thought Baby Jesus IS “The Man” — Ah! I got it! “The Man” as we know it in Corporate America is actually “The Imposter Man” (aka TIM).

So I hope your work with TIM is only temporary, and that you can survive life in the wilderness… Hang in there, friend!
