Your work involved several -related prohibitions: the mixing of men and women, the difficulty of using the restroom which leads to urine retention, and the absence of a prayer area in the workplace, resulting in missing Dhuhr prayer. Mixing and delaying prayer beyond its time are forbidden. Therefore, you must leave this job and repent, knowing that it is obligatory to purify impure spots for prayer.
