I was in a meeting the other day at work. It was not a large group, just 3 of us. One of the 3 is an officer of our company and questioned whether or not a certain individual was active in the church. Once it was determined that he was not (deduced by the same person asking the question), he then rhetorically asked the question "Well then why did we hire him?".
Possibly unbeknownst to him, I am not all that active in the church. Many people know this, and I believe he knows as well (I think he likes to drop little snide reminders to me of how evil I am). At any rate, I am concerned about my employment at this company and I really do think it is possible that I may get fired someday for trumped up reasons, but really because I don't fit the mold of the typical LDS that make up the leadership ranks of this company.
What should I do to protect myself? I sent myself an email detailing the events of the meeting, but just to myself so I could have it in case I need it someday. I worry that if I talk to HR, I just shine a light on myself and just increase the odds they'll fish for reasons to get rid of me.
Any advice? For the record, on other occasions I have heard other executives make disparaging remarks about gays, etc. This company is truly stuck in the 1950's.
