Good post EKam. Personally I am waiting for the provident fund to be released then I will go back home too. Life is too short for this sh*t. Sadly it isn't just EK, the whole industry is crumbling at an alarming rate.
My advice to new joiners is make sure you milk this place for all its worth and fill that money bucket as quickly as possible. Don't get sucked into the glitz and glamour dxb lifestyle that many do, you will end up STUCK here!
