[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Muslim and actually did used to attend Friday prayers when we used to telework. My issue is that I’m honestly scared to ask for religious telework. I feel it will label me. Also it’s definitely unfair for federal government workers with kids for there to be a religious telework exception and not a parenting telework exception. My fear is asking to telework on fridays, will cause many of my coworkers to resent me because as far as I know, there are no other Jews and Muslims in my department. [/quote]

There are a million great reasons to telework, parenting, eldercare, volunteering, practicing a religion, exercise.  I think it is crazy that the government (which is supposed to be areligious) is doing this!  That said, I am glad for my colleagues that can now fulfill religious commitments.   I think the Muslims need it the most.  I am Jewish and yeah sure it would be nice to have more time before dinner on Fridays but it is not like I can not get there.  It would be nice to have more time everyday.  We are always heading out night.[/quote]
