What has happenned to that project is astounding given the fact that it's based in Abu Dhabi, was already in full flow and part of the larger 2030 Abu Dhabi plan. One assumes they will re-tender the work within the next year or so and it will be off again.....

It was rhrhrh who posted the info. I understand that some parts of the project are being redesigned and the parts not already committed to LOR will be retendered and in fact there are some tenders out for parts of it now.

I am not sure if I commented on his posts or not? I tend not to when it is AD related as I know nothing about AD at all
edited to say - I did say that my friend was a PM with them and that redundancies were expected but I was not sure on what scale?

BC my issue is that there are people like you in AD who have been here a while and automatically assume that they know all and sundry about what's going on in everyones business. Even more than the actual people involved in the industry

Basically they are called gossips!!!

perhaps now is time for me to respond,

as much as i wanted to respond to this 'pansy' bird/geyser last month i refrained from doing so on the basis that maybe my post was construed as gossiping or worse still seen as gloating at others misfortune

as i said then and say again, i was one of many to face and get the axe.

i apologise to anyone who works/worked there and didnt know, in retrospect it was a bad way to hear it on here and i am sorry for that

to pansy, to quote your pleasantries you are the '****wit' for your obnoxious outburst.

to everyone else, please dont shoot the messenger ok ?!
