being jewish around christmas and at boeing

Hmmm... Around when I started at boeing we had a party in our group and got pizza catered. There were probably at least 10 pizzas, maybe more, and all of them had some form of pork/meat on them. Not one that was vegetarian or even cheese. I am jewish, and I do not eat pork or meat on my pizza, so what was I going to eat? I asked where is the cheese pizza, and there was none. Oh, I was told, you can eat the salad. Great the nasty looking salad will be my "celebration" meal. Oh well....

So, today in a vey nice gesture, our management gave us holiday gifts. The gifts consisted of, first, a gift certificate to the deli in the building, and second an ornament. Although, the ornament was more like a little statue of santa clause. So, it was cute, but I don't want it! I'm jewish, this is the "holidays", and not just christmas!! Gosh, I mean , it's not a big deal, and it was a nice gesture, but people should be more concerned.

So, it reminded me of the pizza incident. After the pizza incident, I mentioned the incident to a colleague, and she said oh they are just not used to dealing with any situations. And, I'm thinking what you mean even vegetarians, they just assume everyone likes meat, and if they don't, oh well. It seemed like a pretty ignorant attitude.
