    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1013/1013/M=1431)

    You should avoid consuming haram and impure things, do not share food and drink with them as long as you can. Also keep on trying to get yourself transferred to any other company and supplicate Almighty Allah for the same.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
