Hi everyone,
I have been here only few weeks, and wanted to share my observation about work culture. There is only one Westerner at my work, and he is 'rat racing' if I can put it this way. Only invoices count. Manager is shouting at the employee in front of the others. I am being told off through the email on my time off, then spoken in a different way during face to face conversation. No information provided about the job, the client etc. No meetings. No training. After working in the UK it feels devastating, and I am really losing my enthusiasm...
Spoke to 2 other people who have lived here for 3 years and they said the same about their work, in different professions... I havent met many people yet, but I have been told that living in Dubai is only about money and consumptive lifestyle, because everyone is here temporarily... Well I think there must be living here like everywhere else in the world some genuine people who I can have a good time with
, but really curious what others think. Can anyone reflect on that? What is your experience?
