This wasn’t in the onboarding materials.
Why am I expected to work 50% more hours than everyone else in my office?
What’s the best way to approach the next month?
I am not putting in extra effort to cover my coworkers, they’d never do the same for me. I’ve learned that much at least, have been taken for a fool for far too long.
I thought it couldn’t get any worse. Any other surprises to look out for?
Easy hrs yes. No man with dresses to be seen But it would be easier if you got half the day off too.
Must be a wind up.
Anyone that's been there for any amount of time would recognize all the words in the OP as sarcasm.
Wah, wah, wah...
For Pete's sake what are you thinking?
Just go with the flow and collect your $200.
Ramadan is the laziest time of the year
Oh for goodness sake, furious. Are you really serious? Maybe this is a wind up. As others said, Ramadan is a great month for everyone! Enjoy it.
It's the only time you get a Ramadan room. Enjoy it.
That's the deal, but like was said, Ramadan will be some of the easiest hours that you will ever put in. If you want to get p-ssed about something then how about that extra paycheck Saudis get during the holy month. Relax.
Just relax and enjoy the slow month. Nothing gets done and no one expects anything to be done.
Ramadan or not, you are always expected to do more because mostly just don't give a rat's a$$, but why would you? They just milk the company dry. That's how it is and will always be. When I was there, we barely worked during Ramadan, we even took turns taking off early or just spent the entire afternoon just BS'ing. You must be new, you don't know yet how the game is played. Allow me to give you a piece of advice, if you let yourself get frustrated, then you will have a short depressing tenure there. Do yourself a favour, know the game and play it.
