The same argument could be made about companies that hire only men, or companies that hire only roman-catholic christians.
Just look for a different company!?
Most people don't have multiple job offers lined up, which is why it's important that employees have some protection.
And it's usually for the best of everyone. Even if you enjoy the social activities of your job, at some point you might decide not to go drinking every week, and you shouldn't be fired for that.
This crosses certain lines. Into sexism and racism.
Should men be hired as wet nurses and midwives? I think the answer is No. At certain times it's not appropriate.
But that's besides the point. Let's not get into this because it's a flamewar topic.
>Most people don't have multiple job offers lined up, which is why it's important that employees have some protection.
I agree. Put it this way. I think it's fair game for the employee to HAVE this protection if he didn't know it's part of job.
But if he knew, and he's taking advantage of this protection then it's not fair game.
>And it's usually for the best of everyone. Even if you enjoy the social activities of your job, at some point you might decide not to go drinking every week, and you shouldn't be fired for that.
I think it's quite obvious if you read between the lines that he's not fired for not drinking. He's fired because he didn't fit in and doesn't get along with the team.
Nobody fires someone just because they didn't drink but is a cool guy to get along with. Basically what's going on now is a lot of people don't like him, and people are forced to work with him.
