Here's a new one. UAE nationals complain that they are discriminated against in the workplace.

Poor loves...

Oh come on W10, you know Gulf News is not exactly unbiased, especially when it comes to anything at all about UAE Nationals. They also MUST have at least 1 pic of The Sheik in the first 3 or so pages, followed by at least one smaller pic of other gov. ministers, in decreasing size signifying position.

I believe discrimination affects all of us, no matter what the colour, creed or caste. I think that richer people (swooping generalisation coming up) believe they have more right to the roads, queues, etc. than the rest of the populus. Does that make them manifestly wrong, incorrectly educated, or correct?

But on a lighter note, at least I'm not xenophobic, I hate everyone!!

It must be tough for them. Spare a thought.

Being stereotyped because they all work 6 hour days and get paid dh10k a month for being receptionists.

Must be awful.

5 hours work,out of which 2 hours go phone chatting and 2 hours sipping high tea,and 1 hour actual work,that comprises staring blankly at the pc screen waiting for the commercial break

hubby have a local attachment in his working place, he suppose to train him to take over his position in 3 years time (Qatarization). But he can't ask this guy to wear any safety boot ... (he said that he have a poorly toe), can't ask him to wear a safety hat (he said he have a headache) ... and he is just too fat and won't fit to any tank (my hubby job is doing tanks inspection), cant part him off from his mobile phone, can drag him out from his desk, leave alone try to ask him to go on site... And only work 6 hrs a day.

If they try to do the job,at least one thinks that money and effort will not go to waste,even though that ,as well, is arguable

W10

That's discrimination you know.

Here not only the government pays for yr avaiation schooling if ure a local but now theres rumours that if u join Qatar Airways as a pilot and work for 15yrs non stop the State then gives u the option to stop working and give u full pay every month for life (their wages r prob more than the foreigners' -(applies only to locals OF COURSE).

Bet he will drag them out of bed with this option.........or not??????
