Please do not get involved in backbiting or cussing or talking bad about anyone... in our big 4 work culture, this is the easiest one to slip into, but just remember you are fasting and feel free to tell other non-Muslims when they expect you to talk crap about someone who didn’t pull their weight, etc. Tell them politely that you are not saying anything because you are fasting, not necessarily because the other person was right... rest of the things I think you know how to handle....

Be upfront with your teams and let them know you are fasting, used to hid it but didn't do me any favor. I always leave in time to had iftar with family. This would be my first year on a travelling engagement while fasting not looking forward to that.

There are multicultural rooms and privacy rooms in most big 4 offices now. Please take full advantage of those. These rooms are meant for this purpose.

How does everyone pray during Ramadan at the office?

Find an empty conference room or pray outside in the parking lot

Privacy / wellness room at Kpmg. Also, I would advice taking a toothbrush/a spray breath freshener to work too .. as I tell my fam, that is musk only to Allah lol. Keep it under manners at work

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?

Thanks!

Dubai people I live in Marquise Square tower and my neighbor is having a party literally every day till 4-5 in the morning- I spoke to him and he apologized and promised to keep it quiet but he didn’t. So I spoke to the security if they can tell them to calm down and the security said that he can’t do anything as it’s the weekend! Is that normal or should they give me a noise compliance and force him to stay quiet after some time.
