Ramadan privileges for all of us!!!!

I got this mail from a friend of a friend of a friend. It's about a person in a company who - as I have been told - has the reputation of doing his very best to find excuses for not to work, with success. He permits himself 20 minutes smoke breaks every hour. He smokes like a chimney, drinks coffee like a giant percolator, and eats the biggest rubbish. Apparently he is also super arrogant, has a big mouth, but accomplishes nothing. And fortunately for him his manager, afraid to be accused for racism, admits with everything he asks. This is a striking example... see what his manager sent out to the department:

Hi,

Just to inform everybody that Ramadan is approaching. During this period I have agreed special working hours with Mehdi so he can work under optimal conditions (considering he cannot eat nor drink during daytime).

As of this Thursday/Friday till October 30th Mehdi will start his working day around 7am (therefore ending around 15h) Form October 31st till mid November Mehdi will start his work around 6.00 am and his day will end around 14h.

Please, whenever possible, keep this in mind when contacting Mehdi, and especially when planning meetings that require his attendance.

ps. considering his cafeine and nicotine habits .... be careful till the first withdrawal symptoms have eased ... keep stress balls available :-)

This is a company where people get in between 9 and 10 am, and leave between 5 and 6. So nobody will be there to check if he's there at 6 am. I think I will also apply for a job at this company, I will say I belong to the Swedish "party-party" religion, and I have to sleep in till very late in the morning, so I can only arrive in the office around 2 pm. Of course I will stay till 10 pm!!!
