Re: Abu Dhabi Rental Idea
ps 'All the guys had been brought in and told to expect termination of contracts at the end of January. That weren't a rumour, that were fact. That is bollox. Needs to be edited to say 'all the guys were brought in and told that the first stage of the consultation process would start at the end of Jan' That is such a BB2 post!!!

Re: Abu Dhabi Rental Idea
well pointed out. The use of the word ALL indicates that all the management were called in and informed of the situation. It could also of course infer that all the guys were informed of the situation and are getting pumped.

yes that is what I was led to believe, the guys were informed of the situation that they were to be relieved of their duties in the New Year. They were being give a bit of 'notice'.

Re: Abu Dhabi Rental Idea
Yes - this is true - it was the first stage of the consultation and a list is being drawn up of essentials and non essentials so unfortunately there will be some termination of contracts but as you point out it's not the whole of LOR as the work is still going ahead. I just feel sorry for the guys and their families if they are in the area of work which is being slowed down. The whole thing seems to have been exagerated by some so called Professor of UAE Construction (who can that be?) and it's suddenly become thousands.

I thought they were referring to western supervisor/manager level.

I was just referring to the LOR issue which has been raised! You now seem to be implying that people of "Asian persuasion" cannot be in Management positions????!!!

Re: Abu Dhabi Rental Idea
I know nothing about AD and the Construction Industry at all. But when Atilla lost his job one of the first people I rang was a pal who I have had here for the last 15 years. He is a real rock in my life and the only man I really talk to about from Atilla when I need proper advice. He is with LOR and he told me that there are pay offs. All the guys had been brought in and told to expect termination of contracts at the end of January. That weren't a rumour, that were fact. I hope and pray none of you are affected in this recession, it is not a nice feeling at all.
but i can tell you more, but cant be bothered
