[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  I think the prayer in the name of "Jesus Christ ... blah, blah" kind of rubs me wrong more than something like the pledge of allegiance, and particularly because the praying was directed by my supervisor (like, let's all bow our heads and pray...).

I've never been asked to pray at work in any way that made me uncomfortable.  (It's possible that there was a more generic prayer/statement before "holiday" parties at past offices, but never Jesus centered b/c many people were Jewish).

(I am 100% certain that the co-worker was not "donating" the food b/c it was a sizable amount of food and she is not making more than GS-9 or 11.  I also think they would have mentioned that when I asked who brought the food and I commented on how much there was and how much work it must have taken.  The response I got was "XX has a catering business."  People with catering businesses don't give food away.)

I was just wondering about whether other people would have felt as uncomfortable as I did or whether I am over-sensitive to this.  [/quote]

OP, I would've felt very uncomfortable and more than a little coerced.[/quote]
