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
