Yeah manger was just asking what I have at the time, let him know religious obligations. He was cool about it.

2hrs OOO every Friday, I don’t tell anyone, but will explain if asked. I don’t like to overshare info about my schedule, I find that people will try to use it against you when convenient or purposely try to say reason X we can’t get this done or meet today rather if they just saw it blocked without context they would move on

I do put OOO. And I let my managers know that I won't be available for that hour's time every week. No one really cares.

This is what I do as well. They don't seem to mind at all. I would do OOO.

You should be able to use it as a religious obligation, which is covered under most laws. AS long as you haven't had problems with them before.

I started drinking the moment I joined MBB. Had my first sip at the age of 28. My whole college life, I had all my friend drinking but always abstained. Now after my first year at MBB, I started drinking out of fun. Got my first hangover last month and stopped praying. I feel I am getting dragged out of my religion slowly. You’ll be surprised that I know the half of the Quran by heart since I was a kid of 17 yld. The only thing left in me is that I sincerely love my Muslim fellows 😓
