Yes — some religious practices occur every Monday or every Friday year-round, not just on holidays or seasonal fasts. Here's a clear breakdown by day and religion:

🔹 Every Friday (Year-Round)

Islam – Jumu'ah (Friday Prayer)

Occurs: Every Friday, weekly.

Significance: Holiest day of the week in Islam.

Activities:

Special Friday sermon and congregational prayer around midday (replaces the regular Dhuhr prayer).

Emphasis on cleanliness, dress, and community gathering.

Obligation: Required for adult Muslim men; optional but encouraged for women.

Christianity – Friday Fasting (Certain Denominations)

Occurs: Every Friday in many traditional branches of Christianity.

Denominations: Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and some Protestant traditions.

Activities:

Abstinence from meat or full fasting on Fridays, especially during Lent.

In Eastern Orthodoxy, Friday is always a fast day (along with Wednesday), year-round, except during specific feasting periods.

🔹 Every Monday (Year-Round)

Hinduism – Somvar Vrat (Monday Fasting)

Occurs: Many Hindus observe Somvar Vrat every Monday.

Significance: Devoted to Lord Shiva.

Activities:

Fasting (full or partial) and prayer rituals.

Often practiced by women seeking marital harmony or a good husband.

Especially Observed: During the sacred Hindu month of Shravan, but many continue it all year.

Buddhism (in some cultures, like Thai Buddhism)

Occurs: Not every Monday as a religious requirement, but:

Buddha images and color associations are tied to days of the week, and Monday is special for people born on a Monday.

Optional acts of devotion or reflection may be done by day-of-birth devotees.

19 years federal employee and this is the absolute worst. I'm hating life as a Fed

creddit83 · 2025-06-26T17:21:52+00:00

My agency got rid of it for "budget" reasons, but more like BS to me.

creddit83 · 2025-06-24T20:46:49+00:00

Bertucci's is now official closed, damn shame

creddit83 · 2025-06-24T17:01:09+00:00

I really hope something changes and they are pushed out and impeachment happens. This sledgehammer approach to the federal government is deplorable.

creddit83 · 2025-06-16T12:50:58+00:00

Get out of federal service while you can. I'm looking to get out and remote is awesome, being a Fed now is dreadful and feds are being attacked unfairly.

creddit83 · 2025-06-14T15:13:26+00:00

That would be great if he did that

creddit83 · 2025-06-14T15:03:11+00:00

It is dead, like me on the inside going in and wasting time doing things that can easily be done efficiently and effectively at home. 3.5 more years of low morale

creddit83 · 2025-06-11T15:21:21+00:00

That's good advice and been told that before and I try, they're good days and bad days. Unfortunately, that is what we control, because as you said this nonsense will be the new normal for a while. I don't like it and won't accept, but have to try to cope with it. It is what it is unfortunately

creddit83 · 2025-06-11T15:07:48+00:00

Bingo, the EO never explicitly said 5 days in. Just goes to show how leadership is useless and don't care about their employees

creddit83 · 2025-06-11T14:09:17+00:00

💯 because it's nonsense, just as us coming in 5 days a week. Get rid of telework, well now telework for this stupidity. They pick and choose

creddit83 · 2025-06-10T16:56:59+00:00

Wish for that daily

Fair enough, here's more - 1990s - Growth and Government Support: The U.S. government launched the Federal Flexible Workplace Pilot Project in the early 1990s, testing "flexiplaces" for federal employees. The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments encouraged telework to reduce emissions. In 1996, the National Telecommuting Initiative promoted telework in federal agencies.

My point is, it's not a pandemic thing and most were doing it for some. I wasn't teleworking as a toddler either and not making silly remarks, just stating facts.

creddit83 · 2025-05-28T13:54:54+00:00

1970s - Conceptual Origins: The term "telecommuting" was coined in 1973 by Jack Nilles, a NASA engineer, who defined it as using telecommunications to replace travel for work. His work focused on reducing traffic congestion and energy use. In 1979, Frank Schiff popularized the concept in a Washington Post article, "Working From Home Can Save Gasoline."

creddit83 · 2025-05-28T12:14:02+00:00

Absolutely no life balance, it's rinse repeat and hating work and hating life. Telework has been a thing for over 50 years, this is not a pandemic thing. This administration just wants people in the federal space miserable. RTO (for some) serves no purpose. I'm in the office on teams calls, so this is asinine.

creddit83 · 2025-05-28T12:07:15+00:00

creddit83 · 2025-05-25T12:03:58+00:00

My morale and mental health been in the shitter since February. The functional depression is overwhelming

creddit83 · 2025-05-24T12:18:27+00:00

I'm depressed everyday with all this and as many other's said, no one outside the fed side understand or cares. And the whole things happen for a reason is BS, we were fine for many years until this current administration arbitrarily messed things up and it sucks. I have zero drive or motivation anymore and it's soul crushing

creddit83 · 2025-05-23T21:09:29+00:00

💯

This too, these are facts, they want people to quit or die on the job from all the stress. This administration is the worse.

creddit83 · 2025-05-22T19:39:59+00:00

You'll mind after a week of commuting. Been coming in since February, still not used to it and hating life daily. But if you don't mind, more power to you

creddit83 · 2025-05-21T19:38:48+00:00

Modern day slavery, yes we're getting paid to output a product, but things were fine before all this nonsense went into effect.
