They threw Muslim jokes around. When Arbi told us about it, he wasn’t really complaining, he just said, “They probably don’t mean anything bad by it.” But I noticed it stressed him out. And he got zero support from the union reps; they mostly just kept needling each other. “But you don’t complain about your landlord,” Arbi said. He’d come to Norway as a refugee; he figured he’d move to a Muslim country if it all got too bad. Actually, it was only Islamic rules that kept him from laying into them at work.
