I have no issues with that, I admire the Muslim dedication to prayer but to make unrealistic demands on your company that would effect productivity is a different story, accommodation, yes, but some need to take a mile when given an inch.
I used to make ithneen Salat twice a day (Zuhr and 'Asr) in 1990-1993 at my NJ job (when I was practicing the Muslim faith) and there was barely a 6 minute break to perform the required ablution known as Wudu and then get the prayer in. We then got docked 2 10 minute coffee breaks to compensate. We would perform the prayer anywhere we could in empty rooms around the company.
