Hey all - I need some advice please. I’m doing a spiritual fast from today until the end of January. I need to pray at 1pm and 7pm for the next 21 days. Can I bring this up with my manager/partner on my project? How would you bring this to their attention? The manager tends to schedule meetings whenever is most convenient for her. TIA

I love it. I did something similar and it changed my prayer life. How long will you be praying? Maybe just book 15 min at 1pm to your calendar and mark it as busy. I wouldn’t worry about the 7pm prayer slot because that’s off hours anyway. I wouldn’t necessarily bring it up unless your mgr/partner are believers. Just say you have a standing appointment at 1pm (because you do, with the CEO of the universe!). If they give you problems you can say it’s for religious reasons. Im sure they will stop asking questions then.

What a wonderful thing to be doing! I would be honesty and upfront with your leadership about your availability. They should be willing and able to work with you and the team for anything that requires coverage. Good luck!

I would suggest you bring it up with them. You can't surely know their reaction unless you tell her. I'm doing a 21 fast as well and I pray your request is granted.

I’m a partner and I would wholeheartedly support you. I’ve tailored meetings/events to other faith’s as well (Ramadan, etc). In the end, we benefit from your daily devotions so sending you much encouragement during your fasting and focused prayer.

Last week I got automated call from infosys and asked few details . After that I got call from hr and said my interview is scheduled on next week and very next day one person called me and asked few technical questions .she said she's calling from infosys and this is technical screening round . Today same hr called and said she will be scheduling a client interview.

My doubt is till now I didn't received any mail from infosys. So this is scam or part of infosys interview process?
