Agree
Completely.
That said, I hope every Muslim gets tw the entire month of Ramadan. Because let's be honest, this administration is only thinking of Jews and Christians, and still hates Muslims. So suck it up, administration. Full Ramadan telework!
To be honest Jews (like me) rarely need telework for holidays because for the big holidays we are prohibited from working at all. I am not going to telework on Yom Kippur, I will be on leave. It is helpful though if one can ask for partial telework for a holiday that starts at sundown, as all Jewish holidays do - telework so you can go right into the observance instead of commuting home first. My agency has long allowed that. But if they'd said no, I'd just have gone to work and taken an extra couple hours of leave.
