Today, I started my new job as a supervisor. I began by cleaning out my new office, including recycling large sheets of cardboard left over from the new calendars. When the 2nd shift came in, however, they got very upset and yelled at me. Apparently, I had thrown away my Muslim workers' prayer mats. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at my new job, a coworker offered to help me mop the floors since she wasn't busy. I ended up getting written up by my boss for supposedly being too lazy and making other people finish my work. FML
Today, was the first day of my new job. My boss admitted that they hadn't cleaned the employee bathroom for over two months. My first task: clean the employee bathroom. FML
Today, I walked into my new office for the first time after receiving the promotion I've been trying for. Someone took a dump on my desk. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, my boss called me into her office to tell me I needed to mind my own business and not question everything my newest co-worker does. Yesterday, I stopped the new girl from giving $6,000 to the wrong person. I was fired on the spot. The new girl was promoted into my job. FML
Today, it was my first day at my new job. Not only does everyone hate me for replacing a guy they all liked, I managed to clog the only functional toilet there. The glares and threatening head-shaking they keep doing probably means I'm screwed. FML
Today, I started my job as a high school janitor. A student decided to welcome me by taking a dump in the urinal. FML
Today, I finally started my first job. I also lost it, for being too "enthusiastic" and making my fellow employees look lazy. FML
Today, my supervisor told me to stock the bedding department, so I did all the pallets set out, with an hour to spare to clean up, only for my supervisor to bring out three more once she saw I was done. FML
Today, I started my new job as a janitor at a store. The first thing that happened when I came in was another employee telling me that there was vomit in the restroom, and that I had to clean it up. Not only did I clean up vomit, I had to clean up the poop that made the kid puke in the first place. FML

Your comment makes it sound like people should come to the job and just work and not read a book, eat, chat...etc. All these can be done during the break time which is probably when the muslim workers are performing their prayers. Nothing wrong with that.

wow that really sucks but it was an honest mistake imo. How would you have known? Good luck and look at it as an opportunity to make a new friend! Maybe buy him some new ones as an apology and go from there?

If you'd read the Bible you'd know that it is at least as violent as the Qu'ran. And yes, I have read the Bible.

And why is that? If they wanna pray during work then let them be. Why do u think theres lunch breaks?

I'm guessing they are praying during their lunch or regular breaks and that the work had no problem with it, or at the very least didn't want to be accused of discrimination for banning prayer st work.

OP makes it clear that they JUST became a supervisor. They likely haven't had time to learn the religion of every worker there. Don't be a ****.

The bible calls for many deaths as well. It's funny how people are willing to ignore that because many Christians claim "we don't follow that anymore!" Whereas you demonize other religions

Also I've seen Christians call for our deaths. So please **** off

While I am inclined to agree that prayer doesn't belong at work, it's very possible they did their prayers during their unpaid lunch, which would mean they aren't taking any money from the company.

Can't say for Canada or Mexico but the US doesn't have an official religion and allows people of ALL faiths to practice.

Just get another mat!!! I am muslim and a prayer mat is just a clean piece of cloth.... its not holy or anything..... guess it will cost a few dollars but will earn you a lot of respect.

Hey OP, this is a good opportunity for you to find them a place where they can pray at work with real prayer mats instead of cardboard boxes. I think it'll go a long way for you and your coworkers to come to a better understanding of each other. Good luck!
