How do you manage to add photos to your posts?

You should never feel like this. Everyone goes through bad times, but everything is a challenge and the tough times just make you stronger.

That's what I meant. Basically if you go to Sharjah then the meter starts at 20Dhs and goes up from there.

Well there really is no easy way to put it is there to be honest. It's a horrible job, but if it has to be done, then so be it.

Although I do wonder about some companies, when they make redundancies, yet the big bosses still get their bonuses - hardly fair is it?

Chocoholic

It has nothing to do with age or generation. It has to do with making yourself understood. You make valid points, but it's clear that some of us give up reading your posts, because it's just too much like hard work. How do you think your posts come across to people who's first language isn't necessa...

Write and email or send an SMS? Are you mad?! How unprofessional is that!!!

NO, you put it in writing on paper, on company headed paper signed by the highest person in authority, whether it's the head of HR or the CEO of the company.

Everyone goes through ups and downs. But it's how you handle it that makes the difference.

For a start stop calling your maid/nanny a servant! How un-pc is that! Secondly where does she come from and why don't you just get her to apply for a visa herself instead of telling anyone she is employed by you. If that fails - then shock horror, your wife and family with have to do what Mr and Mr...

Have to disagree 100% on this! And it probably made no sense because you went to see it in the cinema here, it was hacked to death, because Dr Manhattan was naked in virtually all his scenes!

I got a knock-off copy from my friendly DVD supplier and thought it was excellent.

Chocoholic

Well you also have to bear in mind, that for many people this will be the end of their lives in Dubai! Do they have loans, mortgages etc etc, some might be forced to skip the country, others might try to find other jobs, so the offer of any assistance would be prudent. A company that my friend works...

I wouldn't say serious depression, that would be upto a medical professional to determine that.

But you have to look at the reasons why you're down, do the things that make you happy.

Chocoholic

If you really feel that bad, then it might help to go and talk to someone, I know it helps me.

Chocoholic

You still haven't answered some fundamental questions which would help us to help you!

WHERE is your nanny from????

Why doesn't she just apply for a visa off her own back, if going as your hired help is an issue?

Chocoholic

Well you would find it funny, because you're an unfeeling, heartless git!

Depression is nothing to joke about! Depression and manic depression are serious issues that have to be dealt with properly.

Chocoholic

Hmmm nothing new in this really is there, but will it change anything? Probably not.

Chocoholic

Yes, unfortunately my DVD player has a conscience and normally plays films till the last 20 minutes then refuses to play the rest of it! I need a cheapo player that will play a chocolate digestive if I want it to.

Chocoholic

I hope it makes a difference, I really do. But you know how things work here.

Chocoholic

It is true, that many of these workers are caught between a rock and a hard place, i.e. having no work at all in their own countries or working for a pitance here. However, this does not give companies the right to exploit them the way they do! Everyone has the right to clean running water, good was...

Chocoholic

Actually Ruskie, I would disagree totally with your recommendation. Sometimes taking time out from the world and having time and space to yourself is exactly what you need to resolve the issues troubling you. Going out and being with others are temporary solutions, temporary highs, but the underlyin...

Chocoholic

RB, once again you show your ignorance! WE know about it! The rest of the world doesn't! Especially because the Dubai government and authority are dead against any negative publicity getting out about the place.

Chocoholic

Exscuse me! RB, you are totally out of line! No more of your crappy comments in this thread! Or I will edit you! FYI, forums and help groups can be very useful for people who are experiencing these things for the first time and don't know how to deal with it. Reaching out and asking for help, is the...

Chocoholic

Pff you diss someone else's post then ask for feedback youself! Hahahaha

Firstly, you're clearly not worth it!

Chocoholic

RB, once again you show your ignorance! WE know about it! The rest of the world doesn't! Especially because the Dubai government and authority are dead against any negative publicity getting out about the place. this topic has been discussed over, over, over and over again especially in this forum....

MCL, is actually a guy!

Chocoholic

No, here! Stupid question really!

Chocoholic

Considering it's short term, I wouldn't be so picky about the whole meat thing!

Chocoholic

Oh here we go, another attention seeker or troll to mess up the forum!

Can't be doing with that.

Bye bye.

Chocoholic

Sadly this is a very serious matter in this country. Defaulting on loan payments can see you put it prison for non-payment! (not scaremongering, it's a fact!) Why do you think so many people skip the country? Ask your company not to inform your bank of your termination, otherwise there is a good cha...

Chocoholic

Again, nothing to contribute, so go away already!

Chocoholic

Because this thread is about a documentary on the conditions of workers in the UAE! If you want to ditract from that, then go and start your own thread!
