It means willingness to accept a bit of unusual goings on.

Contract different to what you were promised?
AC repairman looks suspicioulsy like the plumber/ Tv installer/ taxi driver/ dentist?

you will be expected to smile and let it go.

Three weeks into a new role and I still do not see why having no UAE experience is such a block. Glad that I am over this hurdle and to everyone else there is light at the end of the tunnel.

A lot of guys come out and jack after 3 months costing the company a lot of time, cost and effort. Why take the risk when you can have someone who likes it out here ?

Lightbulb Re: UAE experience

I can understand why this might happen in Bahrain, but not Dubai. I can also see that you have such a high esteem for the area. Anyway I did not have the cost issue as I am on my husband's visa. Plus we bring a 'can do' attitude and professionalism which is sadly lacking in lots of people who have been here a while.

Yes I agree all the old timers here are useless ****wits whose lives would fall apart with 2 maids (non swimming of course) etc

What the gulf needs is can-do guys like yourselves to sort out the when-we's and show them how it's done

Welcome to the gulf

thats sweet Ron, love it

was not a million miles from yours this afternoon for a few beers and a braai and didnt hear a damn disloyal or banging thing all afternoon. First it was stressful hearing things go bang and now its stressful wondering where the bangs are...

I think your right and we need some more

There you go, I can add this to my profession, just need to get over the fear of heights first though. Just being my fluffy happy self. Even more so after seeing James Morrison in concert. can wait and I can't even blame any alcohol, just being happy.

I am guessing HR, administration or marketing when I hear this bullshit

I get my work done in a surly, uncooperative, mean spirited, parsimonious and tardy manner. Sweetness and light needs 20% higher salary, professionalism needs another extra 20%

I am completely anti rules and regulations, so HR would be a nightmare as I go for what is right and wrong and not because of A,B,C. Currently working as an EA who takes no prisoners with a human heart. Too many egos around to let it bother me as life is too short.
