CEO equivalent at my small company (sub 10) has made Islamophobic remarks/microaggressions in the past. I am a non-presenting Muslim, and I'm not sure how to navigate?... 2 salient examples:

- rant about Muslim students in East London 'forcing' other Muslim students to pray and it being disruptive, etc. (I can't find the article now, but I believe it was in the Daily Mail)
- a few too invasive questions/comments about my partner's faith after they asked where they were from and I said Egypt

Why not give examples? Your description could mean anything from innocuous things they might not even recognize as problematic to outright prejudice and slurs.

Asking multiple prying questions about my partner's faith (even asking "what religion are they" at all) is inappropriate. The question was clearly asked based on the assumptive stereotype that my partner is Muslim (as if it is any of their business). Further, when I responded with a politely avoidant "I don't know" (based on their previous displays of prejudices/biases against Muslims and my genuine discomfort with their asking such a question), they did not drop the subject immediately. Instead, they made multiple negative comments about 'Egyptians' when speaking more pointedly about his perception of 'Muslims'. This is highly inappropriate in any setting, much less a professional one.

Hi All,

I have 4 yrs of exp as full stack developer and my current CTC is 15 lpa and notice period is of 3 months. I got an offer from another firm for 24lpa but they have shared the offer letter of DOJ after 2 months and asked me to negotiate my notice period or look for buyout. What should I do in this case? Should I connect with my current hr to negotiate? Cause I tried convincing the new hr to share the offer letter of DOJ after 3 months but she is not in the favour of that.
