The people I know have been spilt on this so id like more unbiased viewpoint For context I am jewish and work in retail, our shop is pretty small and I'm sure all of my coworkers know my religion as I'm pretty open about it and answer the many questions they have around the holidays.

A newer coworker (has been working there for abt 4 months) is a very religious christian when she found out I was gonna participate in secret santa she started asking me if I was gonna convert, everytime she asked this I laughed it off and said no.

    Font - but whatever not a huge deal, she eventually backed off or so I thought. When we all opened our gifts I opened mine to find a bible, a small framed picture of jesus and a pamphlet for a local church's youth group. I knew it was from my new coworker before she even said

    Font - anything. She could tell I was upset when I opened it and started to talk abt how it was 'obvious' I wanted to convert to christianity because I was celebrating christmas and she was 'just giving me the push I needed', this 'gift' very much offended me but I tried to stay calm I told her that she was wrong and could not accept her gift and gave it back to her.

    Font - EDIT: Thank you all for the responses. To add a little more context, I didnt think my boss would fire her and didnt tell him not to because of that. I only work at this job part time and as I'm 17 I'm only scheduled a couple times a week, and most of my coworkers including this one are much older than me.

    Font - ComprehensiveBand586 · 3 hr. ago Asshole Enthusiast [9] What she did was offensive and wrong. She disrespected your beliefs. She disrespected you. You'd already told her no repeatedly but she refused to listen. Your coworkers weren't the one being disrespected. You didn't ruin her Christmas. She brought this on herself. NTA 7.2k Reply Share •..
