Eid is starting Tuesday, that is confirmed.
The official holidays are yet to be announced, i think they are worried about the markets being closed Tues-Sat so may do Mon-Weds for Eid instead.
Probably - religion flies out the window when there's money to be made.The official holidays are yet to be announced, i think they are worried about the markets being closed Tues-Sat so may do Mon-Weds for Eid instead.
I remember a while back when the Desert Classic fell on the same day as something like the Prophet's Birthday. They changed the law so 'International' Events' were exempt from being held to standard religious rules i.e. No booze for 24hrs.

I will be working through unfortunately due to a poorly timed tender submission date...esp unfortunate as my ever generous Company have given everyone else the whole week off!
First and foremaost - get a bloody request in to extend the tender submission date to the week after. State that as Eid has been announced Suppliers and subbies will be off etc and that you need the additional time to get better rates and prices, therefore providing a better commercial offer which will ultimately benefit the Client.We have just issued two requests, works everytime.
