Oh come on guys. There are good points to Ramadan as well...My favourite part has got to be going home early from work every day, instead of leaving at 5.30, we left at 4. A Bargain surely?

Re: When Does Ramadan finish this year?
We always get an email along the lines that "Ramadan hours are now in affect,if you wish to adhere to them you may do so, however this needs to be a personal choice and based on you individual work load" 
And the unsaid is "Yep, try it and watch any year end bonus you were thinking of disappear in a puff of smoke.... "

And if it's a dusty night, Eid could be delayed. All depends on whether those clerics have polished their telescopes properly.

Luckily we all have and exercise the same personal choice - come late and leave early.....

Can't believe that your entire year's bonus hinges on the one hour extra time put in during Ramadan. That is sad
I did notice in my previous office, that people always worked really long hours from the last week of November to end December - appraisal time
Luckily I had my boss conditioned to the fact that I stick to office timings - it became a sort of joke when folks actually set their time when I left at sharp 4 pm
