Summary: 

I am posting this as a useful bit of info and a request
for relevant info.  I would appreciate personal
replies, since I may not be able to follow the public ones.
What follows is a statement of policy made to me by an employee of
EDS, Electronic Data Systems, which is (since October) a
wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors.
I am responsible for any inaccuracies in relateing what I heard,
but please note, this is not inference or inuendo, it was a
clear statement made in the course of normal business.


(Please note also that like everything it is subject to change without
notice)

EDS is a customer service organization.  Therefore they require that
all employees be avaliable at all times to answer customer requests
for assistance.  Therefore they cannot hire anyone (Christian, Jewish
or whatever) who must be unavailable on a regular basis for anuy part
of the week.  They will definitely terminate an interviewing process
for this reason, even if a job candidate is otherwise satisfactory.
Sabbath observers cannot be hired by them.

computer or software development -- managing, project leading,
product development, systems analysis or long-term planning.
