I am working as a Senior BD. During Dussehra Holidays, my boss has given me the WFH option instead of giving me holidays like other employees since I am a Muslim. How fair is this? Is this acceptable or not?

Hi,
Before jumping to any conclusions, it is better to wait and see if he behaves the same during your festive days. You may address the issue by talking to him directly at that point instead of making assumptions and lodging a complaint at this stage.

I hope Dussehra is a festival holiday and not a national holiday. In order to keep the business running, the employer can ask any person to work on any holiday subject to certain conditions. By requesting you to work from home on Dussehra, your religious sentiments do not seem to be hurt. Let us take it lightly because you are a senior position employee (I believe).
When I was studying in school, my teacher used to give all the students a lot of assignments (in my day, it was called homework, but later this new word came in) when we went for Onam or Christmas vacations. None of us questioned it, saying that the vacation is for us to enjoy. Let us think of this work from home as homework and stay positive!

Dear friend,
Many establishments are following community-based festival holiday systems to appease all sects of religion. All sects' employees are being given 3-4 festivals as per the norms of the state government. So, you should not consider this otherwise. This kind of holiday rule was prevailing in my previous company, a manufacturer and the largest exporter of refractory.

They may request to work from home but not demand it. If you would like to participate or celebrate Dussehra, you can do so without any objection from our constitution. You may inform your boss about the required holiday as you would like to have it, similar to others. He may agree to the same.
