just go read your initial post again... asking stupid dump questions will lead you no where... so are you satisfied with answers???? ??? what??? I did. I think you should read it too. There is a big gap between "..if you almost got run over.." and "...you got run over...". In th...

off mood - just read about a french guy who got decapitated and his remains all over the road in a hit and run case next to emirates palace in ABu Dhabi. Scared to cross the roads and go home.

outcome of playing Doom, Quake and like minded violent games. I've seen guys who actually seemd hypnotized and unresponsive after hours of playing such violent games. the computer and internet are the worst inventions in human history. The consequences of its disadvantages outdo and have a more ripp...

we all know how "easy" it is to win management awards here. hey - fake ads are all over the place. havent you seen the "SALE" ads in some shops 365 days a year? Or those that put the "25%-50% off" a few times to year - only to jack up the prices by the same amount a few...

You have obviously not seen the inside of a UAE Prison No, but think about it. Doesn’t it seem these drivers are confident about getting away with it? Just yesterday a guy in Abu Dhabi lost his life to a hit and run case. The guy got decapitated and his remains were all over the place. The driver g...

Capn Aus and others - I used to try the same schemes. This one guy was harassing me on an internal road, flashign and sticking to me - and I had cars in front of me and cars parked on the sides. The only way I could give way was if my car had wings. To my bad luck one of these guys turned out to be ...

Just went to pick up my kid and this guy shoots blindly out of an internal road, almost hits meal though I'm two lanes away and although I apply my brakes, He purposely tries to hit me again and a...

yeah but honestly what the heck - Guys on this forum label indians as slow drivers in the fast lanes. better slow than fast. less fatalities. i think the freaks who drive fast and rash need to be done away with.

some of you may hit me for stereotyping - but I stick to my stand on this.

The good part of you sharing it on the net here is that at least more peoeple will be aware of whats going on. These "undercover" guys abuse their power quite a lot. Whether its cases like yours, thefts, or women raped by these guys, horror stories are aplenty. Their id cards are a ticket ...

Firstly, from experience, At this point of time any statements like: "I Know how you feel" "I am really sorry" "You're a good worker but....." ...are not going to be taken lightly....This is most lightly to evoke a strong reaction. secondly, if you have to give a reason...

michaeldubai

well, from the many workers I have interacted with - many claim that they were better off in their home countries - they had the privacy of their homes, the freedom of their own country, their family close to them - and even financially could somehow make ends meet. They were brought here on false h...

That’s why there is that display of super charged of emotions when they find out about the loss of their job, something which I certainly hate to see or go through. There is another thing I’ve noticed about some workers esp. from Asia, East Europe and Arabic countries. They take their termination t...

not really buddy. from her post, the person seems to have already gone ahead with the firing anyway. And from whatever part of the world you are from some human reactions will be the same. Whether you're from the UK,US, middle east, Se Asia, etc, if you're doing well in your job and your boss calls ...

michaeldubai

You're right Mr Hump.

Ms Rose - I'm sorry I called you a wimp for firing innocent workers esp. from Asia, East Europe and Arabic countries! Hope you didnt get too emotional as those being fired about it.

michaeldubai

And you sound like one of those employees who are unhappy miserable losers… When the boss is nice and caring, he or she is a wimp or a pushover… And when the boss is tough and mean, he or she is a bastard or a b*tch… Give me a break man…!! :shock: :shock: :-) you sure sound like desert rose in disg...

Long article - but worth reading till the end. Good writeup. Elements of the article are not something we would read in the local papers except for a few bits and pieces here and there. As was written in the article - many people are aware of the situations but turn a blind eye. And finally before c...

would it be fair to extend the article to include forum posts? i.e. 97% of forum posts are unwanted?

I feel that Independent article made many of you happy!?!?!?!!! it says the truth... yeah it highlights some of Dubai major issues.. like the labour camps etc... but that article is just picking on extremes...

Answer is simple: People coming to work here is a two way thing - we provide a service for which we get paid. In simple words we get the money, you get the place built up. So we have millions of labourers who have honoured their end of the contract - toiling day and night. But someone (the employer ...

http://www.gulfnews.com/nation/General/10305801.html This is an on-off issue coming up at least twice every year. I have seen the dish TV package at a friend's place in Oman - and the package is amazing - +160 channels at about 20dhs a month. Minimum satellite/cable packages (pehla, etc) start at a...

Hello. I think alot of people forget that they are in a different country than their own and don't respect the local laws and customs. They think everything should be the same as their home country. Wake up and smell the coffee. You shoud respect the countries culture or don't be there. so what you...
