Others might not have tolerated a lawyer of theirs being completely unavailable for 25 hours per week during the Sabbath.

Many bosses might have promoted others over me for missing as many as six weekdays (during which I am also completely unavailable) in the fall season to observe Jewish holidays that occur just as everyone else is getting back to work after a slower summer season.
