Do you have prayer rooms in your office? We never did, and after I asked for one to be specified for myself and other Muslims in the team, they were nice enough to accommodate the request. However, this room is treated like a storage room for all sorts of garbage and unwanted things, and I don't feel like it's a private, clean, or quiet space. If I brought this up, would I be asking for too much? It's really not my fault that most of my day is spent in the office. I'd be happy to pray at home!

I’ve been in similar situations, and it can feel awkward to bring it up again after they’ve already “made space,” but you have every right to politely request that the prayer room actually serves its intended purpose. Maybe you could suggest some simple guidelines for keeping the room tidy and exclusive for prayer, or even offer to help set it up if you feel comfortable. Most reasonable employers want their team to feel respected and supported, and your request is both reasonable and important for your well-being. You’re definitely not alone in this!

Yes we do. It's my favorite part of my company.

We have a rest room, mother's room, same thing. An open large room with chair, bed, sink. This is what all my previous companies had as well.

You should bring it up that it's a space for you use, and should be maintained and cleaned.

My office has 5-6 wellness rooms which are also accommodated for praying. There’s prayer mats in each room as well

I just pray in a random room. It works great for me. I have a small portable prayer mat in my backpack

We have a few

Deloitte offices have wellness / phone or quiet rooms so I just use that. Otherwise, it would turn into an interfaith space as I’ve seen it happen elsewhere and I’m not particularly comfortable using a space with idols etc. Sometime I pray in the private offices as well.

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. 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 🫶🏻!

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)
