He'll go sun up to sun down without eating. (fasting) There shouldn't be any impact to the work day. My former boss was muslim and I never saw a change in his work day.

Bean pie, my brother? muslim, or Hold my falafel and watch this! muslim?

Make sure you always have a bottle of ice cold water in your hand and take numerous Swigs of it during any interaction with him.

If he acts weird, then beware. If he cleans his ding dong in the mens' restroom, then that's considered normal.

Meh, worked with a guy that fasted during it and he just got a little goofy in the afternoon probably low blood sugar or something. No worries.

Posted: 5/18/2017 6:37:09 PM EDT

[#23]

Do what? Is his/her/it's Muslimness negatively impacting his/her/it's performance and/or interactions with coworkers/customers/clients?

Everyone's assuming it's a guy. Bunch of sexists in here.

Posted: 5/18/2017 6:39:33 PM EDT

I have about a dozen Muslim employees back on my main office. None of them seem to do a worse job because of fasting and the feast when it's over is fantastic.

This could be a concern if the OP works in a factory doing long shifts, don't need him passing out... Then the OP will have to do more work.

He's welcome to pray to himself without any of the ritual, and he can fast all he likes.

Intermittent fasting is good for you, check out the keto thread.

Is he an asshole?

Invite him to have lunch with you at that new Hawaiian place, the Aloha Snackbar. SHe'll never forget you for your kindness.

Edit: for gender issues.

Why should you do anything at this point.

Where's he from? Find out if his wife can cook, invite yourself over. Middle eastern food is awesome.

What makes you think he's fucking Middle Eastern?

Haji comes from places. Many places that suck. Because of Haji. But still, many places.
