Survey among 6000 UAE nationals shows that Emiratisation is not going smoothly.

The nationals show to have high expectations without focussing on personal performance.

Morning everyone

That is too funny! I love how people think they are entitled to good positions when they don't have the skills or experience for the job. (It doesn't matter which nationality!)

hahaha! We had repeated emails from the HR manager reminding us about proper working hours (an easy 8-4) and let me say that they were not for the expats.

I have worked in my present company for almost 10 years. I have never been late and never had a days sick. I consistently work 12 hour days and sometimes over weekends.

It is a work ethic that i grew up with. if I didn't work I didn't get!

In our company there is emails reminding people about time keeping etc....but it is not aimed at locals....mainly because we don't have any.

LOOOOOOOL …. Look what DF turned the jobless aeromechanic engineer into , poor guy. Man what can I say, we are too spoiled LOL but unlike you they had a choice of being unemployed ..... hey maybe you are just like us , lazy and cant work long hours and you got kicked out…. You did not meet the EU specification LOOOOOOOOOL

Hey mate....

How're you doing buddy?

Are you home already or still stuck in Dubai?

I've been traveling a lot and very busy ...hence all my participation has been limited to checking in and reading a few posts every now and then......but hey ..good to see you're still around, at the DF joint, that is!!.

Over to you Robby. A response is eagerly awaited

Emaratis call the shots in the job market!

If they don't like the hours or don't like the job, they quit.

Simple!..... No worries!!

It's their country, it's their time, and it's their prerogative.

They are a wanted commodity in the private sector, so they can be fastidious if they want to be!!

No surprises here!

no they dont quit if they dont like it, they stick to their pay check and it is illegal to fire them.

You will get a lot further in your Dubai life if you accept the system instead of trying to resist it, young grasshoppa.

I thing the problem is the family high income and them being immature enough being a fresh gradates and the important reason is that they are looking at their friends who work in a stable environment rather than the one in the private sector pulse the 5 times higher salary !! why blame them. Anyone who has a choice will do the same after all we are all looking for the above..
