None of Your Business

“We are hiring!”

I saw the boss’s post when I checked the work chat while getting a coffee. It was nice that they were hiring. So many people I knew were looking for jobs. And it was good news that the company was growing enough to hire new staff.

Underneath the ad, Mr. Smithson had written: Referral bonus for any employee who refers a winning candidate to the team. Details by email.

Referral bonus? That was cool. And hopefully, easy to win.

I screenshot the image and posted it on my WhatsApp status. Lots of good aspiring frum accountants out there would jump at a position in a growing firm in the city. I was lucky; Smithson & Grant was a great place to work, very understanding of things like leaving early on Fridays and taking off Yom Tov. There were a few of us in the office, Sam Green had been there even before me, a few others had joined us over the years, and none of us had ever experienced any trouble as religious Jews.
