Re: Ramadan Working Hours
Got the customary email from HR today. 
2 hours shorter working hours for those employees who are muslim and fasting. Everyone else are working normal hours. I work for a semi-governmental company so they clearly don't give a crap about the MOL statement.
P*ssed me right off that did. Was looking forward to the shorter days. I will definitely skip lunch and head off early...

Re: Ramadan Working Hours
If you are allowed to eat and drink, I don't really see what the big deal is. If you are forced to fast then you should be treated the same.
I'll work what is required - last year that was anywhere between 2 hours and 14 hours. Officially we are 9-3 (down from 9-6), I'll probably do 8-2ish if I can.

Re: Ramadan Working Hours
I get Millhouse's point though and don't have a problem with doing the hours, but where I'm from the law is there to be followed and if the government on one hand declared something to be unlawful the other hand wouldn't ignore it..but this is the ME where contradiction is part of the game...
