Are there other Muslims at your job, or are you the only one? Everyone I work with is pleasant and accepting, but it still feels like I'm the odd one out. I know it's such a small thing to complain about, but I can't deny it bothers me somewhat

Only one there. Trying to explain holiday events to them is a lil tough only because they are awkward to hear about new things

Only one in my department, one of a handful at one of the largest private companies in the US. Even then my manager is very supportive and understanding of my jummah commitment and my faith. She knows I’m Muslim

There are a couple where I work but not that many to be honest with you. Like you said everyone is very accepting but it does sometimes feel like I am the odd man out. Don't feel bad complaining about it, you are entitled to your feelings and they are valid.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!
