I have to say, though, that this job I previously linked to in North Beach looks pretty sweet.
Indeed it does.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I doubt it's illegal for a small, private company
It is legal for a private company. It's not legal for them to use it as a basis for hiring/firing/employement decisions if you don't attend. The general advice for a company that wants to do this is to have it before or after work because of the pressure it places on employees who do not want to participate, and that they should allow employees of a different faith to hold their own meeting.
In other words, while it is legal, it may lead to religious discrimination and most employers should avoid those lawsuits by just not doing this.
So sorry, Steph.

I had a job interview where the employer asked me what positions I held in the Mormon Church, and when I said I wasn't a member he ended the interview. Needless to say, as soon as I got home I called the temp service who had sent me to him to report his ass. The temp service was horrified and promised that the employer was going to be hearing from them very quickly.
Granted, he was older and this was 20 years ago, but there are still twit-heads out there who haven't gotten the memo.

I know. I feel like I'm in the middle of such a confluence of kerfuckery that if a woman walked through with a cat on her head [namecheck: Fellini], I wouldn't even blink.

Tep, not to be litigious, but I would start documenting any instances of negative comments or retaliatory behavior based on your not attending prayer time.

Not to dis religion, but pressure to participate in religious activities at work can constitute harassment.

Oh, yeah. I mean, I truly don't actually expect anything overt; but I certainly plan to cover my ass if the need arises.

Steph's company has me going O.o and I never do that here. At least I don't type it out.
In other news, the couple that I went down to the County Clerk's office with yesterday was profiled in today's New York Times dining section.
