“A Muslim State Department ex-employee is suing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the agency for allegedly refusing to let her work from home on Ramadan….The suit alleges that after Zaki made her request, she was ‘subjected to ridicule’ and ‘harassing emails’ as well as ‘eye-rolling, dirty looks, huffing and puffing when she spoke [and] being overly criticized about her work product.’”
“Reps for Pompeo declined to comment, although an August filing from his attorneys insisted that the ‘defendant had legitimate, non-discriminatory, and non-retaliatory reasons for its actions.’”
The professional minefield is that if a Muslim of a victimhood mindset suffers any negative professional experience, he or she is liable to ascribe it to “Islamophobia.” Any employer is vulnerable to this kind of suit.
“Muslim State Department ex-employee sues Pompeo for discrimination,” by Jon Levine, New York Post, February 8, 2020:
A Muslim State Department ex-employee is suing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the agency for allegedly refusing to let her work from home on Ramadan.
Azza Zaki, 62, says she asked to telecommute twice a week during the Muslim holiday in 2017, according to the federal lawsuit she filed in June in Washington, D.C., seeking $500,000.
Zaki, who worked in the department responsible for handling complaints from foreign au pairs working in the United States, said she routinely made the request during Ramadan and had not had any issue for the previous seven years.
The suit alleges that after Zaki made her request, she was “subjected to ridicule” and “harassing emails” as well as “eye-rolling, dirty looks, huffing and puffing when she spoke [and] being overly criticized about her work product.” Zaki says she was also unfairly placed on “performance improvement plan,” something her attorney said was part of an effort to ultimately fire her.
“It was humiliating. It was insulting. It was something I have never experienced,” Zaki told The Post. “They are ignorant about the religion. This is discrimination and ignorance. Nobody bothered to come talk to me and ask why is this important. Why is it that you need to be at home. I would have explained.”
She retired in 2018 less than a year after filing an Equal Employment Opportunity complaint against her supervisors, saying tension at work had become too much.
“I could not go through being sick all the time and stressed all the time. Not sleeping,” she said. “I was constantly thinking about all the problems at work and really doubting myself.”
Reps for Pompeo declined to comment, although an August filing from his attorneys insisted that the “defendant had legitimate, non-discriminatory, and non-retaliatory reasons for its actions.”…
