Stop Working from Home

[Johny Joe Hold]

I get angry when I hear that so many employees are working from home. It is an invitation to sin. Who is supervising them? Are they dressed properly? Are they sneaking over to porn sites on their home computers? Worse yet, is there masturbation?

Jesus addressed working at home in his parable about the farmer, Matthew 13:1-9. The farmer sewed seeds and his crops were abundant. Jesus did not say the farmer stayed home, looked out his window and saw a big harvest. Jesus taught us that proper work is not loafing. Nor is it engaging in sin at home.

I'm hoping we see an end to this insult of Jesus' teaching.

School employee says she contracted coronavirus on job and faces firing after asking to work from home




In late March, Jennifer Mazzotta-Perretti, a public school administrator on Long Island, New York, was in a hospital with a 103-degree fever discussing end-of-life plans with her domestic partner.


“I couldn’t breathe. I was really in and out of consciousness,” she said. “I was sweating profusely. And just really feeling out of my body.”


Mazzotta-Perretti, who donated a kidney to one of her students in 2009, so was particularly at risk from COVID-19, said she had contracted the coronavirus two weeks earlier at work. She still suffers from recurrent fevers, fatigue, migraines and other lingering symptoms, according to letters from her doctor that she provided to NBC News.


She renewed her contract over the summer with the Massapequa School District, where she had worked for two years and was overseeing 1,200 special education students. On Aug. 7, after she gave her supervisor a letter from her doctor saying she needed to work remotely until at least Sept. 7, she was told she was being recommended for termination.


Her supervisor said it was because she forwarded work emails in 2018 and 2019 to a personal email account she shares with her partner. She said she did so to be able to work on cases at nights and on weekends and was unaware it was not allowed. She believes that she was retaliated against for requesting to work remotely.

“I received stellar reviews and a new contract and only after requesting accommodations did they search for a reason to terminate me for emails from two years ago,” Mazzotta-Perretti said in a telephone interview Wednesday. “The only thing that changed was I got sick and I needed help.”


The school district declined to comment but denied any wrongdoing.


"As this is a matter of personnel, the district has no comment," Superintendent of Schools Lucille Iconis said in a statement Tuesday. "However, the district unequivocally denies any and all allegations of discrimination, misconduct, and/or wrongdoing made against any district personnel."

These frivolous lawsuits are what's wrong with America. Only through free market capitalism, which means letting employers terminate whomever they want whenever they want, can our economy come roaring back. That includes asking to work from home.


When employers are forced to let employees work from home that's when the encroachment of big government nanny state starts to destroy our freedoms.

Our youth understands how to deal with the covid-19 situation, "If I get corona I get corona, at the end of the day I'm not going to let it stop me". Why don't our teachers understand it?


Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
