I was working in a homeless shelter a few years ago where the middle management people were hazed constantly (esp. Christians). One instance was when we HAD to donate a percentage of our salary back to the organization. I was paying back student loans, credit card debt, my car note, rent , etc. (and not making much to begin with) so I donated a small percentage. I got harassed by upper mgmnt with veiled threats of reducing my salary if I didn't donate more.

Also, quite a few members of the upper management (and others) would send forwards, chain mail, and all other forms of spam to everyone in the company about everything including controversial topics and gay pride topics. I decided to forward an email about Jesus to everyone. There was nothing in the mail that chastised anyone or was "preachy". It simply mentioned how he has been influential for so many years. After that, one of the gay managers emailed my supervisor about me sending offensive mail because 'not everyone wants to read that'. I went to his office and told him that if he had a complaint, to tell me personally instead of involving others. He said he didn't know me well enough. I said that this wasn't the best way to get to know me. Additionally, I told him that if he didn't want to read it, he could have simply deleted it after reading the subject line-- just like I do to all of the spam they send. I told my supervisor everything I told him just in case she got any ideas (she called herself a priestess and was into witchcraft).

At that point, I really didn't care anymore. I was ready to go.
