Funny thing abt my Company/ Manager

When I ask about Ramadan timing before the day of Ramadan starts my manager told me I should work 7:00am – 5:00pm  with 30min break. We work 10hrs normally from 7-7 with 2 hr break.

I told him and explain the things about Ramadan, though he says he is a Muslim (Confusing).

His calculation he told, 1 and ½ hrs before iftar enough for us…!

After some arguments he told me to work from 7:00am – 3:00pm without break. BUT I manage to get the time for my Luhar prayers.

I told him according to labor rules we should work ONLY 6 hrs. but he ignored saying “Ramadan is not to rest and sleep. Work and feel the tired…!”

I asked whether I will get OT for extra 2 hrs I work. Total 8 hrs. so 6+ 2 hrs OT.

He told normal working 10 hrs 2 hrs minus so 8 now. So no OT.

The accountant of our company works from 7:00am – 5:00pm with 1 hr break. He is a none Muslim. I am the ONLY Muslim (Fasting & Praying Muslim)  in our company. Others 3 god only knows…

For the accountant he has told he will pay 1 hr OT.

THE FUNNY PART I WANTED TO TELL IS……

For the electrician …. (who is a none Muslim) my manager has told he will pay OT for the extra hrs he after 6 hrs of working…….

Here my problem is not about OT or Muslim / None Muslim….

HOW THESE MANAGERS THINK LIKE THIS……

For me this is nothing. Cos I believe in my almighty God Allah. He will give me what is good and enough for me. And I know that my prayers will be answered by him Inshallah B’cos I was I am under a manger who don’t respect rules and rights of an employee. So in any way I am benefited.

My Message for all managers…. Please treat good for your employees. Cos if you ignored their rights ALLAH will be with them. (According to my knowledge and hope I am correct)

I always pray Allah to give the correct path to my managers …

I came one day 30mints late, obviously for waking up late after luha prayers. He has told our accoutant take the timing of mine and end of month he will cut my salary based on the delayed timing...

Don't do the duty of 8 hrs... our case was almost same, though our one said of 7 hours, telling him was of no benifit, though i tried once, but failed, what i did then, always late in the morning, 30 to 40 mins late, and leaving the office at sharp timing, three days i did it, then other two guys also followed the same thing, now timing is of six hours, but now i only leave on exact time, not even a single minute late,and about the accountant, don't think about these guys, the shoe licker of the company, giving some benifit to the company by not giving OT, cutting salaries of the labors, so manager always like them...
