Two years ago, I sat in a class (9:00 to 13:00) with half the members of the Ramadan faith. The room was not air-conditioned...mid-summer heat...and you could gauge stress and inability to concentrate at absolute maximum levels of “10”.
Along about noon, you could tell dehydration was setting in and for anyone over the age of forty....blood-sugar levels were falling. Class attention? Half the class was unfocused and the instructor’s effort were null and void. Around the 3rd week of this Ramadan business....I finally gave up and quit the class. Most of the class was far behind and weren’t going to be able to participate or do well in the class.
My humble opinion is that if you are awful focused on Ramadan and trying to make it 16 hours without food or drink...I won’t hire you for any job. I won’t ride a bus with such a driver. I wouldn’t ride a cab with such a driver. I wouldn’t hire your company to install new windows in my house with a Ramadan installer guy.
Nothing personal...but your act of stupidity is a direct safety threat to those around the general public. Maybe in the year 700 era....some idiot could come up with a gimmick like this and sell the public easily on just sleeping all day and doing nothing in work. But in today’s world...it won’t work.
In this case of the subway crash...I’d bring in every single Muslim employee and give them two weeks to decide on their employment future.
The Ramadan thing worked pretty well in the 7th century when nomadic people rode camels and lived in tents in the desert.
Today ... not so much.
Then *you* would be fired.
BTW did you know the new muslim mayor of London proposed charging anyone who said anything unkind on the internet about muslims.
